In a Twitter exchange on Sunday, head of Gaming and Commerce for YouTube Ryan "Fwiz" Wyatt agreed to sit down with Herschel "Dr. Disrespect" Beahm IV in the near future regarding features that could help improve YouTube Gaming's live streaming service. 

The exchange started when one of Dr. Disprespect's moderators, who goes by Yo__Nathan on Twitter, replied to a comment from Wyatt with a clip from one of Dr. Disrespect's streams last week. In the clip, Dr. Disrespect goes on a rant bemoaning the lack of basic features on YouTube like a Clip feature, explaining that a clip feature would greatly enhance the experience of streamers on the platform.

"I would love a clip feature, where I can just look at a clip directly from YouTube right now," Dr. Disrespect said. "All it would take [an hour and a white board] in a giant boardroom in the CEO offices of Google. It would just take an hour, and a whiteboard."

Wyatt responded saying, "Love it. Good feedback, @drdisrespect. We're in the lab working on some things that I think the 2x will like."

In a retweet of that message, Dr. Disrepsect said, "Sit in a room with me for an hour, your whole platform would be taken to the next level for life." In response to this, Syatt confirmed that his office is reaching out to Dr. Disrespect's office regarding the potential meeting.

YouTube has already been piloting a clip feature, but it is currently in limited alpha. The feature works in a similar fashion to its counterpart on Twitch, allowing viewers to create a 5-60 second clip from a video or stream that can be played and shared on its own. So Dr. Disrespect is far from the first person to suggest the idea of a clip feature. However, as one of the largest gaming influencers in the world, Dr. Disrespect's feedback on a feature and YouTube Gaming more broadly will still be more than welcome by the YouTube team.

Dr. Disprespect switched to streaming on YouTube full time in August of 2020, after Twitch banned the streamer from their platform permanently with little explanation.  When he returned to streaming last year, he did so to a huge half-a-million-person audience on YouTube. He remains one of the most successful streamers on the YouTube Gaming service.
