[Missing Feature]

Hi lichessers,
recently I had the idea that it would be absolutely great if there'd be a schedule for streamers (similar to the one that exists for the tournaments). Where they can announce the times they are going to stream for the entire week or even the next few weeks .

Would that be possible?

@Zher0 I like this idea, but the problem is that many streamers don't stick to a particular schedule. But for the ones that do, this is a great idea!

It's a great idea except for the fact that few streamers stick to a schedule, and you already know the ones who do (because they're popular):

KC
Bikfoot

@Toadofsky, no I actually don't and idk if everyone does...

For example I have no clue when bikfoot is streaming.
TricksOnly changed his schedule recently and I keep missing his streams. KC sometimes doesn't stream. Like on Sunday he didn't stream and sometimes he streams on Sundays as well. So its not that regular.
I have read countless times "darn.. I missed that stream or I missed the beginning of the stream.. etc"

And it would be especially interesting for the streamers who do not stick to a certain schedule. I am pretty sure that they know that they are going to stream and it's not spontaneous, especially if they do not stream on a regular basis
(helmsknight,astenah,seirawan,zugaddict, etc.)

With a schedule they could simply announce it and no one would miss the stream anymore.
There could be a time limit, like if you want to announce a stream then you must to it 8 hours before the stream starts or something alike.

@Zher0 The overwhelming majority of streamers don't stick to a schedule... in particular some of those you listed.

I forgot to list:

The lobby page lists live streamers, so your concern isn't so much about those who stick to a regular schedule, but those who receive enough in donations that it's worth their time to commit to an irregular schedule...

There have been many featured events where streamers have real-life commitments and fail to start on time. A calendar wouldn't change that either.

1st of all, I don't care about who receives donations or not. I'm interested in chess and improving the page, not money, get that right, thank you. Furthermore it wouldn't mean they have to stream and it was only an idea to possibly improve the viewer numbers and make life easier for everyone.
The lobby doesn't tell when the next streamer will stream, a calendar might. Chesswhiz shows it could be done.

Streamers could use team forums to announce every time they stream but there are already better ways IMO.

Twitch can send you an email every time a certain streamer begins to stream. Many other streamers use discord to send notifications
