Please don't block the video stream with Ads
In the middle of watching someone's exciting steam, an ad pops up covering the entire video while chat continues. Chat is then going crazy because something awesome just happened, yet we were unable to see it because an ad was covering the video stream. What a disappointment.
Make the ad go into a corner with sound or something, but please do not block the whole image. That's the reason why we are here, to watch the steamers. You want the ads for monetary gain, fine, but find a happy medium where you don't disappoint your customers. Badly placed ads drive more people away than keeps them.
Just wanted to update this thread that we are doing an experiment right now with Stream Display Ads! These are less disruptive ads that allow viewers to see and hear Creators while being displayed. Creators will receive ad revenue for each SDA shown. You can find out more information here: https://twitter.com/TwitchSupport/status/1603148201489580032

Blocking or interrupting the video stream with ads can have a noticeable impact on the viewing experience, especially during important parts of a broadcast. It would be useful to consider less disruptive ad formats while still giving creators and Twitch a sustainable way to monetize content.

Years later... absolutely NOTHING has changed! The ad blocker has actually become even more effective; I don’t even notice when an advert starts! What a treat. Hey Twitch, are you capable of learning? Apparently not. Ad blockers, on the other hand, certainly are. Twitch’s response to this thread is just a load of hollow, empty blah blah blah... Disgusting

I would argue these are more disruptive as the screen changing size is obnoxious. I assume someone thought this would be better for ad engagement as it is distracting af. I'm logging off twitch now. ill catch my favorite streamers on youtube

In the same way, users also look for reliable online resources in other areas of life, such as health and daily essentials. One useful resource I recently came across is Unified Filter, which focuses on providing information about water filtration and improving drinking water quality at home.https://unifiedfilter.com/

A less intrusive approach, such as picture-in-picture ads or banner-style promotions, could help balance platform support with user satisfaction. Viewers are more likely to stay engaged when advertisements are integrated in a way that respects the content they came to watch. Thanks for highlighting an issue that many regular stream viewers can relate to.https://subdomainfinder.c99.nl/scans/2026-06-04/newsdipper.co.uk

One of my favorite streamers have his ads turn off but I still get those pop up ads. I would prefer it if it wasn't like that but it's not too bad disruption of the content.

100% agree. Ads in the middle of the stream ruin the experience. I’ve been watching a lot of 3D printing content lately through resources like https://orcaslicer3d.com/ — smooth, uninterrupted, and fully creator-focused. Twitch needs to catch up.

“We are experimenting with new possibilities.” Sorry, but you know exactly how and what you can do to avoid constantly interrupting your viewers just to satisfy your boundless greed! Stop with this stupid drivel! As far as I'm concerned, you can change whatever you want, but the ad blocker is staying! You have your incessant exaggeration with advertising to thank for that.

Do not display ads immediately after sending cheer or subs gifts.
It is the worst experience for a viewer to not hear a thank-you from a streamer.
It is also the worst experience for a streamer to have their thank-you message drowned out by an ad.At the very least, twitch should be respectful to those who pay their bills.

Создаётся полное впечатление, что всё, что связано с компанией Амазон - полный отстой, жадность и попытка отнять у тебя деньги на ровном месте.
Реклама - это особый вид издевательства! Мало того, что появляется часто, примерно каждые 15 минут времени просмотра стрима, так еще и длительность ... 1 минута 25 секунд - это через чур и конкретно злит!It seems that everything related to Amazon sucks, greed, and an attempt to take money from you out of the blue.
Advertising is a special kind of bullying! Not only does it appear often, about every 15 minutes of watching a stream, but also the duration of the ... 1 minute 25 seconds is a lot!
