1. O.o emoticon doesn't work in browser chat

   Hello, this is a very minor bug but it confused me for a bit.
   I was trying to get all of twitch's global emotes using v5 api and emoteset 0, everything seemed fine but I've noticed that this emote [oO](|.)[oO] (regex of course- might want to mention it somewhere in docs) that should match either o.o or oo only shows the emote when typing o_o on browser chat for some reason. I can confirm o.o does work on the official android app though. This is very minor and not exactly related to dev but you might still want to take care of it.

4. Different time settings for Gifted Sub Leaderboard vs Bit Leaderboard

   Allow for the Bit and Gifted Sub leaderboard to have different time settings, so you could set your Gifted Sub leaderboard to show the all-time leader in gifted subs and have your bit leaderboard still reset weekly/monthly.

5. "more messages below" gets in the way

   In slow-moving chat the “More messages below.” text obscures the last message. Maybe it would be better if it was a bit lower down so we could read the last msg?

6. Allow an exception for twitch.tv links

   Some Channels don't allow links to be posted in the chat, including twitch.tv links.

   I believe this is mostly to prevent spam and unwanted advertisement.

   An exception for twitch.tv links wouldn't hurt so we can post twitch-related content (maybe with a Option for Streamer's own Channel-related content only).

   ..This way I can share a Clipped stream highlight other than Reddit.

7. Please implement an option to get rid of chat refresh when scrolling through chat.

   Please implement an option to get rid of chat refresh when scrolling through chat. There are times when a link is posted by the streamer, or someone says something interesting that I cannot read and would like to, but chat refreshes every time a new comment is posted. Especially in chats with thousands of people.

8. Create a hyperlink in chat

   Shout outs are a big thing right now, but sadly urls can take up a lot of space and do not look pretty. would we ever be able to create hyperlink in chat? so instead of having another streamers url in the chat with can have it that people would just be able to click their name, which is a hyperlink?

9. Customizable chat

   Make chat customizable so streamers can turn on/off different stuff and combine them like badges/colors etc and make each chat unique.
   In my case I'd like to turn off nickname color, combine all badges into one (i.e. if viewer is a sub and prime one then he will have badge with crown, if he is sub and moderator then he will have badge with green border), in case of regular viewer (just follower but always watches the stream) then he will have his nickname color

10. Hydration and food

    Eating and drinking are important, especially for viewers of live streams, since they can easily get distracted by the exciting content. I’m aware that it’s possible to use bots in the chat to remind people that it’s time to eat or drink. However, some chat participants are known for often neglecting their physical needs, and there are various people in the chat who point this out to them separately. It’s not always mods who take on this task. I think it would be great if streamers could award these people a special badge: on the one hand, as a kind of reward for taking care of others, and on the other hand, as a way to let other people in the chat know that there are certain individuals in the chat who fulfill this role. I can envision this as both a badge and a role (similar to VIP/Mod), and I suggest a wooden spoon as the icon.

12. Disable watch streak reminders

    This is more of a feedback post. I'm finding it a bit annoying that Twitch reminds viewers of their active watch streaks if they're unable to watch streamers they have the watch streak on because I could be moderating for someone or streaming myself and I see "Watch streak: #" under a person's name which pressures them to go watch that stream for a few minutes to retain a streak.

    Another thing I dislike is receiving a mobile notification saying "Your streak for this streamer just broke! Watch a VOD or clip to save it." because it makes the viewer feel bad for missing a stream when the viewer has things offline they need to do like going to a doctor appointment.

13. The option to hide Watch Streaks

    It has gotten really silly. I hate all of the pop-ups regarding watch streaks. "WATCH BECAUSE YOU HAVE A WATCH STREAK" and "OH NO, YOU MISSED A STREAM! CLICK HERE TO RETAIN YOUR WATCH STREAK." I am so annoyed by this now that I just want to hide it all. I used to think watch streaks were cute, but you've ruined it by making them obnoxious. I'm done, I wish to opt out completely.

14. Lurkers and ads

    Twitch does not count lurkers as viewers, this is devastating for new twitch streamers and impossible to grow if none of their viewers don't want to interact but are still watching.
    Lurkers don't count as viewers but they still get ads, that should not be a thing, if lurkers don't count as viewers they should not be treated as viewers so lurkers should not get ads either.

15. Notruf Button

    Ein Notruf-Button für medizinische Notfälle wäre ein sinnvolles Feature für Twitch.

    Millionen Menschen nutzen Twitch täglich, sowohl als Zuschauer als auch als Streamer. Gerade bei Live-Streams ist es nicht ausgeschlossen, dass ein medizinischer Notfall (z. B. Krampfanfall, Herzinfarkt, Ohnmacht) auftritt und in Echtzeit von Zuschauern bemerkt wird.
    Ein integrierter Notfall-Button könnte in solchen Situationen Leben retten, indem er die richtige Reaktion erleichtert und beschleunigt.

    Ziel:

    Zuschauer:innen und Moderator:innen sollen in der Lage sein, einen medizinischen Notfall während eines Streams schnell zu melden.

    Streamer:innen sollen optional medizinische Hinweise hinterlegen können (z. B. „bei epileptischem Anfall bitte sofort 112 rufen“)

    Funktionsweise

    Platzierung des Buttons

    Im Stream-Interface (neben „Melden“ und „Folgen“) erscheint ein neuer Button: „Notfall melden“.

    Nur sichtbar für eingeloggte Nutzer:innen (um Missbrauch zu erschweren).

    Ablauf bei Klick

    Nutzer:in wird gefragt: „Handelt es sich um einen medizinischen Notfall?“

    Bestätigung führt zu einer Sofortmeldung an Twitch Safety-Team.

    Twitch Safety kann den Stream temporär markieren, Kontakt zum Streamer aufnehmen oder – falls hinterlegt – Notfallinfos abrufen.

    Optionale Notfallinformationen (Streamer-Seite)

    Streamer:innen können im Dashboard freiwillig medizinische Infos hinterlegen (z. B. „Diabetes“, „Epilepsie“, „Notrufnummern für mein Land“).

    Diese Infos bleiben vertraulich und werden nur im Notfall eingeblendet.

    Integration von Erste-Hilfe-Hinweisen

    Nach Betätigung des Buttons wird Zuschauer:innen automatisch eine Erste-Hilfe-Kurzanleitung und die lokale Notrufnummer angezeigt.

    Beispiel: „Bitte wähle 112, wenn du dich im EU-Raum befindest.“

    Missbrauchs-Schutz

    Button kann nur in einem bestimmten Zeitintervall genutzt werden (z. B. alle 30 Minuten pro Account).

    Meldungen werden priorisiert überprüft, aber Spam kann gefiltert werden.

    Vorteile

    Erhöhte Sicherheit für Streamer:innen und Community.

    Signalisiert, dass Twitch Verantwortung für das Wohlbefinden seiner Nutzer:innen übernimmt.

    Möglichkeit für Kooperationen mit Gesundheitsorganisationen (z. B. Rotes Kreuz, Erste Hilfe Kampagnen).

18. Please do not arbitrarily demand phone numbers from people with verified email addresses

    I posted this elsewhere on the forum because I got here by following a link from someone sharing their own experience with the same problem, but I figure that this is a great place to post about this problem too.

    Why, after ten years of chatting on Twitch with a verified email address, is Twitch blocking me from every single Twitch chat unless I give my phone number? I've been on great behavior for my entire time on Twitch, so why did Twitch impose this on my account a few months ago? Twitch has not given any reason, and I don't want to provide both my email address and phone number to Twitch.

    I've contacted the owners of certain channels who I know on other websites and they've confirmed that they didn't turn on the phone verification setting, so this is something Twitch is doing. I've investigated the matter on search engines as well, and I've found that several other Twitch users are facing the same puzzling restriction.

    Please explain why my rules-abiding account was suddenly hit with this phone restriction after ten years. I've done nothing to make Twitch unsafe or unfun, and I've even been apologized TO by users in chat rooms. Please lift this restriction so I and other well-behaved people can chat with only a verified email address. This phone requirement was not placed due to a behavior strike, nor is a phone number required for every Twitch user to chat on the website.

    Also, if this is a glitch instead of a design choice, it's a very bad glitch for your site to have! Additionally, if an unrelated detail will get a human to read this post, a few months prior to the phone number requirement restriction/glitch I tried to gift a channel five subscriptions, but Twitch wouldn't accept the payment and gave no explanation as to why. The credit card was just fine and still is, and no one was blocked from giving or receiving a subscription.

19. Integrated Audio Levels Checker for Streamers

    Twitch should introduce an Integrated Audio Levels Checker to help streamers automatically balance their audio sources before going live. This tool would analyze microphone input, game volume, background music, and other audio sources such as Twitch stream alerts and other third-party alerts like Throne, Ko-Fi, Fourthwall, Triggerfyre, Streamlabs, giving real-time feedback to ensure that each element is clear and balanced for viewers.

    How It Would Work

    When a streamer sets up their broadcast in the Twitch dashboard, an Audio Levels Checker could appear as part of the pre-stream setup screen. Before going live, this checker would analyze connected audio sources, display individual levels for each (e.g., mic, game, background music, and alert sounds), and flag any sources that are too low, too loud, or likely to drown out other sounds.

    If an issue is detected, the Audio Levels Checker could display a gentle warning, such as “Your microphone level is lower than recommended for clear speech” or “Game audio may overpower voice input.” Streamers could then click on each flagged source to adjust settings directly or review a brief guide on suggested volume ranges for optimal audience experience.

    Why This Matters

    Many streamers, especially smaller ones, unknowingly go live with audio issues—such as low mic levels, overwhelming game audio, or disruptive alert sounds. Currently, viewers are often forced to flag these issues in chat, leading to back-and-forth discussions with the streamer and audience members, some of whom may insist the sound is “fine” even when it’s not.

    By implementing an audio checker that appears during setup, Twitch would help reduce these frustrations. Streamers could ensure optimized audio right from the start, creating a smoother and more enjoyable experience for everyone without needing constant feedback from their viewers.

20. Request for Additional Account Verification Methods

    As a dedicated Twitch user with a disability, I face challenges with the current account verification system. I rely on a Skype number for communication, but it is not compatible with Twitch's verification process, and I do not have access to a traditional mobile number. To enhance accessibility for users like myself, I propose the following alternatives for account verification: allow the use of VoIP numbers, such as Skype; introduce email as an alternative verification method; implement support for two-factor authentication through authenticator apps; and provide an option for users to verify their accounts using official government identification. Expanding the range of verification methods would make Twitch more inclusive and allow users with diverse needs to fully engage with the community. Thank you for considering this request!
