  1. The "Returning Chatter" feature highlights the chat for people who have typed in chat at least twice in the last 30 days, this is a good feature but at the moment it appears to highlight all of their messages, could we get it so it only highlights their first message that stream?

  2. Undo whatever, whoever, added a ******* mouse-over feature in the chat history when on pc and channel is live. It is worse than annoying to have a larger emote cover chat history and the emote entry frame! What were you thinking? Restart---Do again---undo... whatever turns green for one more inept dev employee?

  3. Hi all !

    I post this message to know if what I'm thinking about does exist.

    I'm talking about an option to have the messages, from some chatters, "pinged" on the chat window (live chat continue scroll & pinged messages stay for 15-20 secondes, this option for big streamers or not).

    With this, we can add something like 50 chatters (or more), who paid this option (like a sub)🤑🤑🤑

    this is just to know if this think exist on twitch?

    Have a godd day 🤓🤓🤓

    Kind regards from Belgium

  4. It would be a great quality of life for Ultra Wide Screen users to have a twitch chat window where you can edit the width size. Currently, If you are watching a vod with 21:9 monitor/resolution, you get a lot of black portions on your screen and the chat windows is barely readable. On live streams, you can just pop out the chat and place it wherever you feel comfortable but that option is not available on vods.

  5. I have banned a user from my channel also banned from whispers etc.
    Here is the problem:
    I mod for various streamers. The user is in those streams too but not banned.
    Because i banned the user from my own channel and whispers etc i can not see the chat messages posted by this person in the chats i moderate (except when they have onscreen chat ). This is very inconvenient. As a mod you need to be able to see all the chatters messages.

    Please make it possible to view the whole chat for mods including the users privately…

  7. Problem statement:
    There are numerous young streamers ( kids & teens ) on Twitch, that are an easy abuse target, by older kids, by adults , and worst of all, by criminals.

    Questions:
    1. How can I help Twitch , in contributing and in facilitating this change to protect those streamers ?
    2. Can I help by being part of Twitch taskforce to address this severe issue ?

    Possible solutions / Suggestions:
    1. Require any non-adult streamer to have verified accounts only for their chat audience.
    2. Chat audience of the verified accounts, must match the streamer age and may…

  8. On phones when editing text it is difficult especially in 日本語(Japanese) to select and edit text due to accidental pressing of the bit and emote button. Maybe a slide-out drawer for emotes and bit would be better to clear the chat field or just place it on the opposite side out of the chat field.

  9. Lets say you are streaming league and you like to interact with chat but u get these bronze/silver players that are trying to coach u and backseat u in the chat and that just makes you angry and tilted.
    if a streamer had a option to filter chat messages by the accounts verified ELO in that game.
    Lets say Thebausffs streams league and he dosent want to read some of the messages lower elo people are typing, he could only FILTER for himself that he wants to only see the messages from a certain elo (lets say D1+)
    but everyone…

  10. In the stream I mod, we are using the chat restriction feature to prevent trolls from spamming messages. In some case where we see the troll is spamming even if they are in chat restriction mode, we take further action to permanently ban. But since chat history of chat-restricted user appears not being logged, other mods / streamer cannot see the context of ban.

    Can we make the chat history of chat-restricted users logged? I'm pretty sure there will be many other scenarios the chat log is going to be helpful for moderating the chat.

  12. The chat box should have the ability to chime a noise once anyone says something like aim used to work years ago. Obviously if you have tons of chatters messages constantly, this would probably be not used but for small streaming channels who get a few messages per stream, it would be great to hear when someone writes in chat rather than constantly having to look at an empty chat for messages.

  13. I have been seeing people saying spell checks from Windows to other Browsers don't work only on Twitch. Starting in April this is happening to lots of people and just a few days ago it happened to me. Please fix this it's obviously an issue with Twitch because none of us are having this problem in other webpages.

  15. The idea is simple: it a link doesn't start with "http://" or "https://" or other similar handlers, DO NOT automatically convert it into a hyperlink. Because there are people with a busted space bar that can get unjustly purged because the moderation bot is set to catch any hyperlink.

    And on the subject, also make the bot-catching system identify fake links once any has been reported.

  16. Make it possible to set up a personal filter of words. Sentences using that word will automatically no be displayed for me no matter what channel Im in.

    Why ?
    Many streams, especially of large streamers are filled with spam that provides no value for me and makes the chat unreadable. Examples are pepelaugh, kekw, lulw, pog etc.
    This is a personal preference and I dont think its realistic that I should need to run around and convince each streamer to ban the words I dont like.
    I also tried blocking all users using those words but they are so…

  17. The amount of time people have been subbed is pretty common to be found, but I also think it'd be cool if you could see how long somebody has been a VIP, mod, founder, etc. This could be optional to the streamer and/or the person in question (via the current chat settings where the displayed badges are).

    1. 채팅 지울시 생기는 버그 ( 텍스트 커서가 멋대로 앞으로 이동한다.)
      그로 인해서 마지막 끝 글자가 전송되지않는다.

    2. 채팅을 지우고 다시 쓰려고 하면 지워졌던 채팅의 마지막 한 글자가 다시 나와 써진다.

    계정을 로그아웃도 해보았고 크롬을 삭제하고 초기화도 해보았다.

    의문점 - 다른 계정으로 로그인 했을 경우에는 채팅에 아무런 문제가 없다 사용하는 현 계정에서만 채팅 커서 버그가 발생한다.

  19. It would be nice if you could randomize the chat identity color like the first time.
    Even though I can always change it but I can't choose.
    I feel that my identity is limited when my name's color is the same.

    If I can, please tell me.

    Thank you.
