Please add and allow the ability to put users you follow into groups. Like a folder/group. So that when you see on the left, Followed Channels, or if you go to the channels you follow, you can easily see them grouped up in folders/groups.
IE one example would be: Path of Exile streamers, you could label POE and put followed channels into that group.

While you can see what game people are playing at the moment of course. Certain players main certain games. And so if you follow a bunch of people and see a bunch of people live. It would be nice to be able to pull up and see certain groups of users you follow, from certain communities/games.

Almost everything else out there has the ability to put things into groups/folders. It would just be a really nice feature.

remove girls stewing in their own filth without having to open a chat and /block name, or open their stream, and try and find some bs 3 dots to put them on "a do not recommend list" or w/e.

everyday, the 1st time i open twitch, theres 3 new girls just sitting there ******* bubbles in their splash pool, please stop, please fix it, lol.

theres always pornhub w/ 4k 60fps videos, dont need to recommend me these individuals, from what iv seen the past 4-5 days, just make me sad, can see theyre damaged, BUT please stop recommending me this, i just use pornhub or google, yknow?
UNLESS this is all just a troll meme thing

I log onto twitch to enjoy some stream content of my favorite streamer, game, or community for the day. I am encountered with streams without my choice(also known as consent) that I have no interest in, disagree with politically, feel are being pushed on me for political purposes, do not want to watch, do not even want to see for one second, and think I should not have to see. All I request is a simple option in user settings that allows me to opt out of hosts, raids, or "twitch" chosen streams on the home screen. This would improve the user experience for me personally. Thank you and I look forward to continuing to watch the content I choose on twitch.

I have just discovered that for streams containing embedded closed captions (NOT via a Twitch extension), there is no way to display the closed captions when playing the stream on Android or when casting to a Chromecast.

I think it's great that Twitch has added captions support in the first place, but all of it is for nothing if someone who relies on captions is watching on the app or Chromecast.

To be extra clear, I am not talking about caption extensions - those show up in the app, but many streamers use proper embedded captions which seem to only be available in the browser player.

The app really should support displaying captions over the video similar to YouTube, and Chromecast definitely also can show captions so it should be supported there too.

I contacted Twitch support about enabling captions on Android/Chromecast and the only responses I have gotten are links to the help articles about captions and extensions. None of the help articles show how to enable captions on Android or Chromecast, so I have to assume it just isn't supported.

I would like to see Twitch become a more accessible place. One way to do this is to have live closed captions on every video, no matter language or status. Of course, providing official captions is impossible for some channels. To remedy this, I would like to see the implementation of automatic/auto-generated captions. This would resolve the issue for people who do not have a person or software to provide the captions. Then, people could choose between that and whatever official captions the channel provides.

YouTube is starting to provide automatic captioning to channels above 1k subscribers. Facebook already has it. There are even a few third-party OBS Studio plugins which use already made transcribers such as Google and Microsoft text-to-speech: https://github.com/ratwithacompiler/OBS-captions-plugin . It would be great to have it right in the platform instead of some software that not everyone can handle.

It would also be cool to give the already existing extensions a chance to provide closed captions as well. Maybe they could even become a "caption" rather than just an overlay, component, panel and/or mobile extension.

Furthermore, instead of the Closed Captioning Stream Tag, there should be a Closed Captioning Automatic Tag to denote which channels have live closed-captioning. The Closed Captioning Stream Tag could then be replaced with a Captions, to include open and closed captions.

However it may be, adding auto-generated live closed captions to every piece of media would be a great help to those who are unable to hear the audio.

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.

Hello,

My deaf friend and I have a helpful idea for deaf twitch users. We think deaf users should have a deaf badge to let everyone know that we are deaf. Streamers and viewers will know we are deaf and other people are deaf too. I don’t have to type I’m deaf like 3-5 times. My username looks like normal as everyone else and they will quickly know my ears are actually broken. My username is MadFlyTTV_SiN. I am a deaf streamer and a viewer too. I have had difficult time to reach some streamers who dint know that I am deaf. I often commented that I am deaf but they didn’t notice until I have sent several messages. Some streamers never catch my messages at all, like I’m a ghost. I didn’t understand what they said which prevents me from enjoying being on Twitch. Some viewers literally asked me, “ are your speakers broken or don’t you know how to talk?” Nobody knows that I am deaf. It’s really painful for everyone who are deaf viewers. I hope I will receive a response email from you.

Thank you and Best regards,
MadFlyTTV_SiN
