No Commentary category or tag
Please create a No Commentary category for viewers who want to watch gameplay that does not feature webcams and mics.
Or create a No Commentary tag that streamers can use so people can search the tag and find the content.

Hey there! Happy to announce that you can now add a No Commentary tag to your streams, along with other custom tags (for a total of ten tags). Custom tags allow you to describe your stream in your own words. For more information, check out our blog post: https://blog.twitch.tv/2022/08/01/custom-tags-discovery-on-your-terms/
Thank you all for the feedback!

Great feature idea. I need it right now :)
I sometimes put livestreams on in the background/while sleeping and being able to find streams that are just gameplay would be great for that.
Also as a streamer sometimes I just wanna play, and I check the chat but mainly I just like the idea of streaming what I'm doing cause maybe I'm just good at the game or maybe I do interesting things (such as playing a new game for the first time) that don't need narraration. -

This tag would be used when a person is looking for streams where the streamer doesn't talk. This tag would be mainly used for streamers who can't or don't want to use their mic as well as streamers who play music or music-themed games like Osu or geometry dash.

I like the idea too, as I am a streamer who doesn't use the mic

Specifically looked for this tag and couldn't find it. Tried "Silent" "No Mic" "Mute" "Voiceless" "No Commentary" but there is nothing on the master tag list.
This would be useful for streamers who don't have a microphone, are in a situation where they can't use one , or simply don't want to speak over the game.
It would also be useful for viewers who want to enjoy seeing a game played without commentary.

I like the idea of a NoMic tag.

Não vejo o porque, pra que ter o streamer então? Por o canal pra rodar e ir dormir? Sugiro que assista o Amazon Prime ou até mesmo a TV.

Hi i was wondering if a tag could be added?
And said tag to be something like Silent or NoMic or something related for people that can't use a mic while they stream, but they reply to their audience in chat by typing back or have optionally at least a webcam on.
As somebody that lives in an abusive environment, i would love to stream on a schedule, but I can't due to my env. + i usually want to stream when the people i live with are sleeping. By adding said "Silent" tag, people will know the streamer is focusing on what they are doing and their chat as much as anyone else, except they can't use a mic to respond. -

I'm a casual streamer who streams without a microphone. I personally like to watch streams with no vocal commentary. It would be nice to be able to search for streams where people don't use a microphone.
Maybe you can add a tag for "No Mic" so people can search for streamers who don't stream with a microphone easily, using the tag system.
