  • Upvote existing ideas, as opposed to creating multiple similar requests
  • Be sure to share your suggestion with others to gain more support!
  • Note: Suggestions are not guarantees that we will take action on an idea. We will try our best to communicate why an idea may not work, but may not always be able to share that information.
  • Titles that are unclear or unnecessarily vulgar may be reworded to better reflect the request for ease of discovery

  1. The Username charset is too restrictive. I would like to use Greek letters and spaces. Also, Display Names seem pointless if all you can do is change capitalization.

  2. In my time on Twitch, I have seen many accounts get suspended for reasons that don't seem to warrant indefinite bans. Often, there appeals are met with bot messages that don't seem to actually review the violation or take context into account. The loss of users can damage communities greatly and can lead to issues of malicious reporting. My suggestion is to create a paid expedited process in which a user can pay twitch some amount of money to expedite their suspension appeal and get a human to review their request. This would be profitable to Twitch and would allow…

  3. It seems you can't change your emote prefix. It is automatically made for you, using your username. I think we should have the option to create our own, custom, emote prefix.

    For example, I am one half of a duo streamer channel, and the prefix only shows a part of one of our names. Having the option to set a custom prefix, would be nice.

  4. While there are guilds that do support and represent ethnic groups and genders, and rightfully so, there should be a Guild/Group that supports Adult Content Creators.

    Adult content creators are responsible when it comes to content creation, and many of us are interested in giving input into specific content policies, mainly the Sexual Content Policy.

    I think that the policy needs more input and guidance from those who are specialized and skilled in creating adult content and have an understanding of such policies and guidelines.

    The Sexual Content Policy is vague and still confusing to a lot of streamers, and…

  5. When using the Twitch app for Android, all of the people I follow who are live are shown at the top of the follows page. However, currently they're shown in a fixed order, which is highest viewer count to lowest viewer count. My feature request is being able to change the order they're displayed in.

    Most of the time I tend to watch streams with lower viewer counts, because the chat isn't so overwhelming for me as an autistic person when there are fewer people, and streamers are more easily able to engage with chat in such situations. Currently, this…

  6. Hello! I welcome the new Twitch guidelines and support people doing their own content, as long as it's labelled properly.

    Having said that, where I can see Twitch improve upon in terms of safety is something that Sony did a long time ago for PSN accounts: If you're under 18, your Twitch account has to be a mandatory supervised account by another Twitch account that's over 18. That way, anything M-rated and labelled with suggestive/sexual content could be forcefully filtered out for those supervised accounts and when the user turns 18, they get an option to remove said restrictions. It's…

  7. Allowing users to complete the Affiliate Application by using their Paypal or another method that doesn't include sharing their SSN would be a major step privacy wise.

    If someone's SSN gets stolen, it can ruin them financially for years to come or even for life. This is why we are told never to share that number. Having a work around where we can file the taxes ourselves without having to give out our SSN to Twitch or Amazon would be beneficial to all involved and would help reduce the chances of people getting their SSN stolen.

  9. Please make a way to recover a phone number, or a way to disconect every account off a phone number because in Brazil the phone numbers that you get can already have been used by another person before you purchase your chip and for now i have a phone number that i canot use because we don't have a option like this (sorry for my bad english)

  12. Can't unfollow the Resident Evil 4 (2005) category. Clicking on it directs you to the Resident Evil 4 Remake category which you can follow/unfollow separately.

  13. I keep receiving notifications regarding my cookies, both in OBS, and the web-browsers Firefox and Vivaldi (Chromium).

    Every time when the web-browser or OBS is restarted the cookies needs to be accepted once again!

    How do I get the cookie notifications to stop on Twitch after accepting them, just as cookies works on other websites?

  14. I'm tired of twitch tv sending a verification code to my email. I use twitch on my cell phone for cromecast. Then when I watch twitch on the computer, I have to verify the code and go to g-mail to look at the ****** number series and verify. This verification is constant and feels like ****.

  16. The gaming communities of Slavic and other languages are quite sizeable. It would be nice for them to have the same ability to set a Display Name in Cyrillic script just like there is the ability to have them in Japanese/Chinese/Korean.

  17. Adding the ability to add an apostrophe to display names.
    The name I use online is [Kori'to] but when I have it on Twitch, I can't use an apostrophe in either my username or display name so it looks like [Korito]. Is it possible to allow for adding apostrophes in either the username or display name? That would be a nice addition.

  18. Olá,
    Porque não usar Token por email?
    @Twitch poderiam por uma nova opção na parte de Token que poderia ser assim...
    Selecionar Token por email...
    Ou
    Selecionar Token por número de telemóvel...
    Acho que seria melhor quando o "Streamer/Usuário" fosse fazer login da sua respectiva conta...
    Espero que quem esteja a ler isto vote :3

  19. Consistently and annoyingly often I receive “unexpected errors” or similar when requesting password reset (which leads to me not being able to reset password for DAYS) or most recently being unable to simply add and verify my mobile number. It’s ridiculous and needs to be fixed. I cannot chat in some chats because they are verify only. Fix the whole app.

  20. This may require a bigger team of course to implement, but I just signed up for a freelance website and the sign up process, is actually an application to use this site. I was required to verify my identity via uploading a photo of my ID AND a verifying statement such as a paystub, utility bill, etc. And also address verification (or at least a mailing/billing address) which should be added to the account anyways since payment information is stored for subscriptions.

    I know that twitch has a younger population so that may not work, but it may also be…
