Accessibility is very important to not only me but also my stream and I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way. It would be amazing if we can get some warning tags for things from Epilepsy to Colorblind viewers. This would not only warn our viewers but can also save a life. The worst thing we want as streamers is to hurt our viewers and have no control over it. These tags and be pre implemented or something we can add given game reviews. These tags can vary and even help those with mental health with warning tags for possible triggering content in a game.

Hi Twitch! Screen reader users should be able to read and participate actively in chat like everyone else. However, translating chat into an audio signal is really tedious at this moment, because visual elements like all badges incl. subscriber-time of sub badges, and emotes cannot be filtered out.
Especially when a lot of hype is happening in chat, emotes can become very overbearing when read out one by one. Therefore, I'd like to request a feature with which those visual elements and emote text can be filtered out, leaving the username and chat text only for translation into an audio signal. This would highly improve the chat experience for screen reader users.

Thank you so much for considering this.

I use a TTS reader to read chat to my headphones, and mix it in with game audio and music. I've toyed with running two concurrent streams from my computer so that legally blind viewers could open both and have chat read to them in real-time, but it hasn't been stable enough. Not sure if possible, but if a secondary audio channel could be utilized by the broadcaster, those needing chat read to them could turn it on and control its volume to be able to keep up with chat.

Alternatively, an in-page TTS reader might also be a good solution. Again, not sure how feasible, but it would be lovely.

Selectable font sizes for chat that are separate from zooming the entire page with Ctrl+Mousewheel Up would be awesome, even if they don't evenly break. A really cool idea that I've had for a while is actively scaling text fonts, so things like "lol" fill the width of the chat frame, as opposed to longer messages being somewhat smaller.

Additionally to this, simple color-specific modes for different eye conditions - black on yellow, high contrast white on black, yellow on blue - would be immensely helpful.

A pie in the sky addition to this would be selectively highlighting chat messages from established friends or the broadcaster, or highlighting messages from VIP's for the broadcaster if they are the visually impaired one.

Hi. I have an idea for disables to not worry about getting big donations and lose their medical etc. I am mentally disabled and I been wanting to stream. Why I can't is I am afraid one day if lucky if I get donations over 2000$ I will lose my medical and my SSI. A lot of people like me. Worst or not. We can't have our dream jobs or even games for fun! I have an idea of maybe once hits 2000 on earnings from subs, bits, etc. Rest maybe goes to a charity of choice. Disable people get thing called Twitch Bank. Meaning anything pass 2000$ goes to twitch and gives the streamer points to either donating to charity, trips, clothes, games, games currency and so on. Can't we make twitch a better place by helping others who can't make a lot least have fun without worries?! I want to support those like me. Make twitch bigger. Thank you.

Currently there is only 3 text alignment where you can only select "Left, Center, or Right" so whenever you select neither of them, the captions does not line up neatly to the same width of the box.

We should have another option called Justify where it would line up all the text nicely which is more tidy, what justify looks like can be seen here - https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/playit.asp?filename=playcss_text-align&preval=justify

Also, I'm surprised that dyslexia font is not included in the font section. Please add dyslexia font, it will be beneficial for those people as well.

What do you guys think? I would love to see those options added in the Closed Captions Options.

Greetings,
My name is Brandon Cole, and I am a totally blind Twitch streamer and viewer, as well as an accessibility consultant for video games, and an advocate for accessibility for the blind. I am attempting to climb the ranks as a streamer, and have currently reached
affiliate status. However, this is not without its struggles. I have been forced to commission a friend of mine to log into my Twitch account to export
my videos to my Youtube channel. I've had to do this because the screen for exporting videos is not accessible with screen reading software. I have tried
multiple screen reading solutions, and multiple browsers, and the issue persists. This screen used to work perfectly, but after Twitch went through one
of its more recent series of changes, that and a couple other screens became inaccessible. You can perhaps imagine my shock when I discovered I also wasn't
able to subscribe to a Twitch streamer I liked because that screen was now inaccessible as well. Again, this is another screen that used to work fine.

I would like to ask that accessibility to the visually impaired receives some consideration. i am not the only blind Twitch streamer out there, and I can
tell you we'd really appreciate it. Test with screen readers, one of which, (NVDA), is free, find out what the export screen, the edit video info screen,
and the subscription screen have in common, and potentially fix them. If that cannot be done, provide an alternative page for the visually impaired that
functions differently. You are, in one sense, already doing this with the subs.twitch.tv page, which I learned about from Dr. Lupo. This is a viable workaround
for blind people, as this page functions perfectly for subscribing. If the ability to gift a sub can be added to that page, and if pages can be created
so we can do the other things mentioned here ourselves, we will be most grateful. I would not hesitate to shout your greatness to everyone if you were
to do this for us. Please, please let me know if you have any other questions, and if by chance there's any way I can help. Thank you, and have an amazing
day!

There have been many times where a streamer has had some sort of emergency while live streaming. The viewers are left confused, panicked, and have no way to help. Situations such as seizures, embolisms/DVT, stroke (which is a real threat for people sitting down all day), and even non-medical emergencies such as someone breaking into their house.

As an epileptic myself, having a seizure on stream is one of my biggest fears. I am not always home with someone else. If I had a medical emergency while streamer, there would be nothing anyone could do or at least not very quickly.

Please implement a private(!) user profile field where streamers have the option to list an emergency contact and/or address in case of emergency. In the case of an emergency, when someone does call the police, I would hope that they can somehow get in contact with Twitch and cooperate to find the emergency contact and send help. Either that or create a command available to moderators of that channel to alert Twitch of an emergency. The contact/address would obviously be private to prevent raiding and harassment.

/emergency was apparently a thing, but isn't anymore (I'm sure because people misused it), but please bring back a similar command that is limited to moderators to make streamers safer.
