Biggest opportunity: “twitch” and “twitch api” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 90 of 32.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 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.
Removal-risk signals

This plugin does what it needs to do, easily embed various Twitch streams onto your WordPress site. I used it for displaying Twitch streamers playing the same kind of content I create. Not only that, but the developer (Jamie) has amazing support through his Discord, which a lot of other plugin devs don’t offer.

Awesome plugin, works great! But I have a feature request: could you please add multiply row functionality ? Like now we have only 1 row x 4 streams but I would like to have for example 4 rows x 4 streams.
