Biggest opportunity: Swap “streaming” for “indicator”. “streaming” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “indicator” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 5.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Simple, without unnecessary additional features or bloat, completely free and quick support response by the dev. Exactly what I want from a plugin!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ caduto6.4y ago
Finally a twitch plugin which isn’t broken! Thank you for this, exactly what I needed to promote my twitch stream on my website! It doesn’t get in the way until I’m live and then it gets my visitors attention quickly, allowing them to head straight to my twitch channel to watch my stream. Perfect!
