  1. Click on the "Click to reply" button on a message in chat (in browser) ->
    Write a reply ->
    The message to which you are replying is removed before you send the reply ->
    Message is removed from chat ->
    Send reply ->
    The removed message is still (partially) visible in the reply, in the "replying to" header

    This may not be the desired behavior. The reply should not (partially) show the deleted message but rather "replying to a deleted message" or similar.

  2. Hello,

    Twitch is asking to do phone verification even on channels that do not require.
    This is absolutely a bug.
    The issue exists since 24 June 2025 for me.
    My account is 5+ years age and does not have any enforcement.
    Please fix the issue asap.

    Best Regards,
    pulivya

  3. It seems that for some reason when you are idle in a stream it is autofocussing on the follow/unfollow button.

    This is bad!

    No wonder why some ppl unfollow without knowing they did.

    Needs fix!

  6. I’ve begun building an interactive intermission application for use on Twitch. Yesterday, the application was working fine.

    Today I woke up and chat messages sent via IRC are not visible to users in real time.

    Any messages sent by my application show up as past messages when a new user enters the chat, but no messages sent will appear in real time – they only update if the user re-enters the chat by reloading or opening the chat in a new window.

    For example, if the bot sends a consecutive integer every second. User 1 joins 10 seconds after the…

  7. When the connection is lost for a considerable time, when reconnecting, a button can be pressed to reload the transmission but the chat keep frozen. The quick solution is to close the chat and open it after a few seconds, but it would be good if the reconnection is detected and the chat reconnects automatically as when the connection is lost for a few seconds.

  8. When a user clicks a link in chat.

    Where the link is written as

    words and stuff cohh.tv/store other words and stuff
    

    A user in the Twitch app will click that and is redirected/sent to http://cohh.tv/store/

    Which results in an error page on android

    https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/415088605837393931/767743175707197500/Screenshot_20201019-153309_Twitch.jpg

    Links in chat in the App should default to https:// to avoid this issue. For links in chat that don't include a schema in the text/chat message

    (I was sure I heard this bug had been fixed but it has reoccured/reported today)

  9. The current Chat Appearance setting ties two fundamentally different features together: animated Twitch emotes and full animated GIF messages.

    I want animated emotes. I do not want animated GIF messages continuously playing in chat. GIFs are substantially heavier and more visually intrusive, and disabling their animation currently also disables the animated emotes I deliberately want to see.

    This has had the opposite effect from what I assume the GIF feature was intended to achieve: I have stopped using Twitch’s native chat entirely and now use Chatterino, because it lets me retain animated emotes without the performance/visual burden introduced by animated…

  10. If someone Whispers to you, but you change your username before replying, you can end up being unable to write back, with a message at the bottom:

    "This user has turned on "Block Whispers from Strangers" in their privacy settings and must start a conversation with you first."

    Thus, you end up with people writing to you and wanting an answer from you, but you can't write back, even though you should be able to, as they did started the conversation first.

  11. Hello uservoice

    I was recently locked out of all chats site-wide, unless I give twitch my phone number. My last chat timestamp is ~12:30pm UTC and I have been unable to chat anywhere since ~12:35pm UTC.

    My account is >6 years old and has a verified email, and active subscriptions, and an Amazon prime connection. I have no interest in giving twitch my personal phone number, I get enough spam already.

    Twitch support has been utterly unhelpful and passive aggressive, so this is my only remaining avenue to resolve this. Did I get caught up in some kind of banwave?

  12. I have users blocked yet I can still see their message if themselves as a mod or the streamer pinned their message.

    Blocked should not be able to see a user whatsoever, pinned or otherwise. This seems like a major bug in the chat system that to show toxic users which could set people off by seeing their username even just by pinning their username and message. In the terms where the streamer doesn't do anything with toxic users against other users.

  13. FIX the Autohost system!
    It hasn't been working for MONTHS now. I want to support my friends and my team, and sometimes I'm not able to send a /host to my own channel.
    My autohost list was carefully made, and it's incredibly frustrating it's not working! Please Twitch, this is important for people that want to support their friends, teams and the communities that they have contact with!

  14. 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…

  17. The automatic link parser is rather overzealous. It currently interprets any sequence of alphanumeric characters, a dot/period, and more alphanumeric characters (with no spaces in between) as a link. As a result, any time someone forgets to put a space between two sentences, or deliberately types something like "notbad.jpg", it gets turned into a (broken) link. Furthermore, if the streamer has link filtering turned on, such occurrences will result in the entire message being blocked when there's no actual reason for it to be.

    The link parser needs to be smarter. Maybe make it require either two dots/periods with characters…

  18. Все работало до недавнего времени, но теперь ни на одном из каналов не могу писать в чат! На любом канале пишет - "Чат для пользователей с подтвержденной учетной записью". Ввожу номер телефона что бы подтвердить, высвечивается - "При подтверждении номера произошла ошибка"! И так на любом браузере. Зашел к себе на канал, там ввел номер телефона в своей учетной записи. Высветилось - Подтвердить номер телефона
    Введите код подтверждения
    Мы отправили 6-значный код на +7 958 *** 88 15. Подтвердите, что номер принадлежит вам, чтобы обезопасить свою учетную запись. НО КОД НЕ ПРИХОДИТ. Почитал в интернете, и таких проблем полно! Как…

  19. Hello, I have had a bug for 2+ days now where every stream I join it says verified accounts only chat, now the creator had it on then disabled it infront of me and it still says the same thing, now I can't verify my account because for some reason twitch isn't sending me the message, and I have sent the right number, I even copied it from the contacts app the number works perfectly fine. I read about it and many other people are having this problem. and from how I know the twitch team they would just say…

  20. As a mod in many streams, I am familiar with the blocked terms.
    Lately though, I noticed messages coming through, even though terms are blocked.
    The only thing i can think of, is that there are "zero-width-spaces" in between some letters. You cannot see a difference, but there is.
    Could it be possible to just don't allow the use of the zero-width-spaces ?
    Because the amount of spam accounts coming through once they all use it, is way too high.
