Past usernames should not be held for 6 months 2 months ago, I changed all of my usernames for privacy reasons. Now, I’ve changed every username back with the exception of twitch. Twitch is apparently only allowing you to change to new usernames, and if you want your old one back, you have to wait for SIX MONTHS. This is absolutely insane. This is completely awful for my branding, and I’m sure is for others. Having a unified brand everywhere is so important for establishing an online identity, and requiring half of a year if you want a previous username back is an absolutely ludicrous policy, especially when this…

Username timer - Fix the username change problem There should be something such as a page where people can search a username they want in order to check when it will be available.
This is especially necessary because previously used parter usernames are never available again, but as far as anyone is aware, there is no archive or list of those “never available” usernames.
Wanting a username that isn’t being used and trying to change to that username every day without knowing how long you will have to keep trying for it is absolutely exhausting and shouldn’t be something creators have to go through. Make it easier to…

Incentivize Enhanced Broadcasting with a 10% Revenue Split Bonus The core purpose of Enhanced Broadcasting (EB) is to save Twitch money on transcoding. Incentivizing EB adoption would not only offload Twitch's transcoding infrastructure costs, but also put more money in creators' pockets while strengthening Twitch's relationship with the broader creator community.
Quick refresher: EB shifts the work of creating multiple stream qualities from Twitch's servers to your PC's graphics card. Instead of sending one feed for Twitch to transcode, your PC encodes up to 5 qualities at once, and viewers automatically get the best resolution for their connection.
My proposal: a flat 10% bump to the revenue split for…

Stop shadow banning without notifying the user I think I just got shadow banned. The only thing that tipped me off was being invisible in chat all of a sudden. I checked, and no formal actions have been taken against my account. I am careful to follow community chat guidelines, and it's a big deal to me to be a positive presence in chat. I don't use abusive language or bots. I don't spam. I don't even stream, I'm just a viewer. Shadow banning is illegal in some countries, so I'm going to look into statutes around this to see if it's even allowed in the US.

Unban Sm0kythebear Sm0kythebear was reported for unfounded claims by users banned in his chat for inappropriate behavior. Sm0ky is the most genuine, TOS following streamer on the entire platform and a proper investigation needs to be done to reinstate his account and ban those falsely accusing him.

Discord Auto VIP When linking your twitch to your discord, it auto gives subs to subs that have linked their account, now what would be good is that if this also could happen with VIP's!

Loosen restrictions on usernames by allowing more symbols/characters. It would be nice if twitch loosened restrictions on usernames since so many are taken and they don't seem to get freed up.
For example allowing usernames starting with symbols (_username), as well as adding more symbols for use, such as '-', '/', '.', '|', '~', and other characters.

Stop forcing people through phone verification, even for those channels that don't require verification. Twitch Support seemed to say you'd Twitch Support said you'd be "happy" to receive my feedback so here it is:
Now you are forcing people to undertake phone verification on a whim for whatever discriminatory reasons you choose to, so that you can't chat in channels that haven't opted into "phone verification" and now you remove the ability to chat anywhere based on this.
I've had my account 6+ years without this requirement, yet this weekend it was thrust upon me, even in my own channel or channels that don't have a phone verification requirement set and since I have been provided no reasoning or justification…

Merging Twitch accounts. Merging Twitch accounts.
Twitch is quite a young platform. But in the future the number of “dead” channels will increase, the so-called “Internet graveyard” will be formed. I propose, add a function “merge accounts”. Here's how it should work:
For example, a user has two Twitch accounts (either his, or he was passed the data from the account, so to speak by inheritance). And the user wants to use the “merge accounts” function. He enters the data of both accounts (confirms). Then the user opens a page with the data of the two accounts (like a comparison table), the page…31 votes -
Shame on you guys for allowing "Training for Generative AI", it should be removed!!! Especially horrible to have it on by default! Gen ai steals from the public, is a cancer on society, hurts brain development and promotes dementia and psychosis, hurts the environment, and hurts electric bills, especially in disenfranchised communities!
This needs to be removed IMMEDIATELY! This is shameful! Disgusting! I'm not shocked but just dissapointed. Another tick on the clock towards moving away from twitch. People come here to celebrate people and creating unique work, not ai SLOP.
Get rid of it!!!

Please Fix 2fa set up so that it works with all phoneS Please Fix 2 fa so it works with all phones. I am currently having to find a work around because MY cell carrier is NOT supported. it is preventing me from getting my affiliate that is B.S. There should be another option to authenticate other than cell phone OR your system should just send a code out to what ever # i put in even if it is not on some list. this is crazy as my Number works for every other site on internet!

U2F/FIDO support for Authentication I understand Twitch has recently allowed people to use other apps for means of authentication, but please allow users to use U2F/FIDO authentication, this is not only more secure but also very reliable. Having a U2F as primary with a TOTP as a backup is in my opinion the best method of security, given that Affiliate/Partner accounts hold alot of personal Tax information, I feel this fits more as it's such sensitive information.

Allow diacritics in display name Diacritics (accent marks over/under/around letters; e.g. ú, ÿ, ç, å, ē) are important in spelling rules for many languages. There are a number of situations where a diacritic can be the difference between a common word and a horribly inappropriate one.
The display name field on Twitch should be extended to allow diacritics alongside capitalization changes to a username. This would add at least some level of support for a large number of additional languages with a relatively simple change.

Supporting display names in arabic As is possible for Chinese, Japanese and Korean users who can set display names in their own languages, it would be great if you could also do this in Arabic! This also sets the stage for other languages that use the Arabic script in future (Farsi, Urdu, etc)

Password length has arbitrary and undocumented length limit I went to change my password today and had my password manager generate a random 100 character password. Twitch said "That password is too easy to guess" and points me at a page that just says it needs to be "at least 8 characters long". I get the same error with length 90 and 80. Through trial and error, apparently 71 is the maximum usable length.
It's unclear why there's a maximum limit, so I'd recommend removing that. Otherwise, the error message should indicate what the actual problem is.
