  • 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

  3. Many people use audio only mode because they are unable to handle flashing lights or other visuals. Taking away this option only for DJs is a huge set back for people who use this feature so that their issues or disabilities are not triggered by said visuals.

    Personally, I mod for many streams, and am a viewer in even more. This is a huge set back for me and my ability to mod or view content on Twitch. It seems quite short sighted and ableist to remove a feature that so many vulnerable people rely on to partake in the…

  4. I'm on Ontario Disability and the system is not practical for anyone on it to try and earn an income of any kind to improve the situation. We are currently limited to earning $200 CAD per month, after that 100% of income gets deducted from the 'next' support payment until the amount that cancels the disability support. Just wanting to stream is a financial risk to me because of all the associated complications, and often costs, associated with maintaining any form of income. My previous job paid minimum wage and after 5 days I was actively losing money by going…

  7. when a person you follow exits a stream it goez in to the gray color offline list but it goes randomly in to the list

    can you set first come first serve at the top of the offline gray list

    so if I go off I will appear at the very top

  8. The only options for sorting Followed Channels are "Recommended for you" or "Viewers (high to low)." When trying to find a channel to watch a VOD, for instance, these options are unhelpful. Allowing an alphabetical sort would make it much simpler to find the channel sought by a user.

  9. With more and more twitch drops happening between games, the drops list is now harder to find the game that you want to earn drops for. My request is add a search bar in the drops page so people can search the game and find it easier.

  10. Currently, the only sign language option available is American Sign Language (ASL). While this is great for ASL users, it's important to recognize that ASL is not the only sign language, and it is not mutually intelligible with others.

    Sign languages differ from country to country—sometimes even within countries. Examples include:

    Auslan (Australia)

    BSL (UK)

    JSL (Japan)

    KSL (Korea)

    Irish Sign Language, Indian Sign Language, and many more.

    Suggested fix:

    Add a general "Sign Language" category

    When selected, show a second dropdown with country-specific sign languages (with an "Other" option for flexibility)

    This would be easy to implement, improves accessibility,…

  12. Hello,
    I am a deaf Twitch user. I watch streams, but I cannot understand what people say because there are no subtitles.
    Please add automatic subtitles (live captions) so I and other deaf users can follow streams too.
    Equal access matters.
    Thank you!

  13. Give users the option to remove the 'Twitch Stories' button from the left tab where followers show. For users like me who suffer from crippling OCD, a change as small as this is very stressful. I can't turn it off at all! I can maximize a stream but then I cant see chat at all, or talk to anyone. I get a new feature like stories they want to show off but, long term, simply having it as an option under your profile, when you click your profile pic and open the dropdown menu, should be good enough! I want…

  14. Currently, Twitch's layout is optimized for horizontal screens, which can be less than ideal for users with vertical monitors. I propose adding support for vertical monitor setups, where the video player is positioned at the top of the screen and the chat is displayed below it. This layout would make better use of the vertical space and provide a more seamless viewing experience.

    At the moment, we have to rely on browser extensions for such functionality, which is far from optimal.

  15. I believe in having a built in auto translate mode built in twitch that translates both the chat and streamer. This would allow more viewers to have the accessibility to understand streams in a foreign language. Lets be honest, not everyone understands all the languages spoken and typed on twitch. I believe language accessibility is very important for the future of twitch.

  16. I am unaware why this isn't a more widely reported issue as one would expect if it is frequent, but the volume of Twitch streams seems rather low, regardless of creator, compared to, let's say, Youtube. Currently I find myself turning my volume to the absolute max to watch Twitch, forcing me to turn down all my other volumes, or get my ears blown off when I go back to gaming or listening to music. I am watching through browser (Firefox) and the in-player volume is set to max as well.

  17. 안녕하십니까 한국에서 트위치 철수를 하였지만 해외에서 방송을 하시는 분들은 거의 트위치에서 방송을 하시는 분들이 많아 트위치를 조금씩 들어가고 있습니다. 하지만 한국어가 아닌 영어 혹은 일본어를 이해하기란 제게 너무 힘들었습니다. 확장 프로그램을 설치해보아도 이상하게 번역이 되기에 실시간 AI번역 시스템을 넣어 학습을 시켜보는것은 어떨까 제안을 합니다.

  20. In OBS The streamer has to put music etc on a line called "music" and this is detected by Twtich and gives another volume control line only for music to the users. This would be nice to have to mute music to hear more of the Gamesound etc. or some other moment when you dont want to listen to the streamers music and this feature would add perfetcly to the option to not hear music in clips, older streams etc.
