User Accessibility

How it works:
  • Choose a relevant category for your idea and check to see if any other users have already submitted this suggestion before creating your own
  • Be clear with your suggestion, provide examples and solutions to the problem you are posing. Suggestions without actionable feedback may be closed without comment
  • 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


If you need help:
This forum is for ideas only. If you need help, please check out our help portal for tons of articles that may answer your questions. If you still need help, you can reach out to our support team in the help portal as well!

Appeals or commentary on suspension decisions, support requests, suggestions disparaging others, and non-constructive feedback will be closed without comment.

  1. scrollbar

    Browser scrollbar is 99% invisible and 1 pixel width.. pretty bad UX for everyone, especially if you have bad eye sight or not ultra accurate mouse hand coordination, but i guess twitch doesnt care about that.

  2. Report Bug Other

    I am attempting to report a bug with closed captions. I can not find a way to do it. A report bug other, fill in the field would have saved me about a half hour at this point. I am watching the rerun of critical role and the closed captions are gibberish. They work fine for the 7pm run and not the 12am run. It has been this way for atleast 3 weeks.

  4. They should prohibit streamers from shouting loudly when speaking, because most viewers use headphones and loud sounds cause us discomfort.

  5. CVAA compliance

    Twitch needs to be compliant with CVAA, plus adding text to speech functionality inside of chat and compatibility with screen readers.

  6. Loud Sounds

    Loud sounds with streamer store is hurting my, and probaly, others hearing
    Beeing someone who watchs streams all day long while using PC, I need to report that some streamers are using the Stream Store in chat to sell audios and sounds with external app linked to the chat store.
    I liked the Idea, but now I can watch some streams with this feature, because they are using rocket, fireworks and some loud sounds, this is hurting my hearing, so I NEED to close the stream I was watching and search for another one. I dont want to remove store…

  7. browser zoom chat scrolling

    If the browser zoom level is changed , chat scrolling doesn't work.

    The chat keeps saying "Chat paused due to scroll" when I haven't scrolled anything.

    Whatever you're using to detect whether the chat has scrolled isn't taking into account the browser zoom level.

  8. Web layout MUST be made responsive to window width.

    I don't know what window width Twitch imagines as a minimum, but it's clearly wider than my window width, as chat and the chat menu do NOT display on a channel page unless I maximize my window. This is utterly insane in 2023. The chat menu must ALWAYS show, no matter how narrow the window. I will not say how wide my window is, because my entire point is that it should not matter. The inventor of the WWW, Tim Berners-Lee, intended it to be device independent. That means that everything on the page should be accessible regardless of window…
