Officially endorsed by Jerma. I do day-after edits for streams that have something interesting (99% of them), while cutting all the water out, making it easier to catch up with Jerma!
While I watch every stream, not every single one is fated to have a highlight. "Curated Selection" is a describer I always applied to my channel, my goal is not money making so if certain streams are just not it I shall skip them to save everybody's time, or combine multiple parts into one if its several streams that we're not good enough for individual videos.
I try not to bloat my edits too much, my target is cutting down source footage by at least 50%, even better if its 70%. Edit length may fluctuate video to video, one day 6 hour stream may result in an hour long edit, other times 6 hour stream may get 30 minutes, like I've mentioned there's no obligations (money or video length wise) for me to follow, I curate what I was given and polish it to my standard.

It's been 5 years since I ran a poll about including chat in videos. Time to a re-run, since the channel has grown since then. The cutoff point for this poll is October 1st, every edit after that will follow whatever the winning result will end up being.
Right now, I'm using chatreplay to attach chat to videos in a non-intrusive way. I thought about it, and it's nice to have ability to tweak it any time, even years after the upload, but if chatreplay ever stops existing that means all of the videos will suddenly lose chat.
Here's pros/cons of each approach in my prespective:
→ Chatreplay
Pros: non-intrusive, easily tweakable, faster render times due not having chat in videos, allows to separate different group of viewers based on their preference.
Cons: Requires me to edit in a specific way (honestly sorta whatever), can be lost 10-20 years later
→ Hard Embed
Pros: no need to use third party site - easier to watch on mobile, more convenient, chat will be forever archived with the video.
Cons: Can be intrusive, forces to watch only one way, if there's chat desync on twitch's side that I won't catch will require a full reupload instead of just a small tweak, more rendering time.
