In this paper, we present All the Feels, a tool that provides an overlay of biometric and webcam-derived data onto the interface of the popular video game streaming service, Twitch. This overlay provides visualization of heart rate, skin conductance, and facial emotion recognition. It is intended to enhance the spectator experience and improve streamer-spectator connection. We present results of a preliminary study investigating spectator reactions to the introduction of this tool, via a live test with a streamer. Analysis of the stream combined with survey responses from 17 spectators indicates enhanced enjoyment of the stream, and suggests that spectators may feel more connected to the streamer. This work opens up opportunities to improve stream quality and spectator engagement through the introduction of an interface that includes biometric signals.
