1. epileptic mode

   Being able to activate an epileptic mode, to avoid animated emotes that cause epilepsy, since in the chat they can appear anywhere and I would like to be able to deactivate that, and if it could also be put for the broadcast of the streamer it would be a great help.

2. Toggleable Audio Compressor

   The idea is basically a built-in audio compressor for streams that is toggled on and off. Setting the feature on would limit how loud the stream sound can get in ways that manually changing the volume button couldn't. Some streamers—especially smaller/newer ones—won't have an audio compressor, leading to stream sound blaring at max volume if there is a technical difficulty, too loud in-game mics, or other situations.
   Here's a plausible example, you are watching a streamer's stream at 50% volume, and they are about to play a new game for the first time. The ingame volume settings are set to max, making the volume come through extremely loud and uncompressed.
   In theory, this should help headphone and earphone users when experiencing these jarring situations. Thus, the website will be more accessible. As for a place for this toggle, it could appear when you click the gear on streams used to change quality.

4. Make Commands Clickable As My Disease Makes Typing Difficult

   Whenever I am watching a stream and they start a raffle or other interactive event, I normally feel very left out as my muscle-weakening disability makes it impossible for me to type the command fast enough. It would be great if any !command in the chat (or anywhere else on the page) could be a clickable link that pastes the entire command in my chat box, so I just have to press Send. This would help me feel included, and would likely help slow typers or viewers who live with dyslexia avoid having to correctly type every command. Thank you!

5. 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.

   the icon for "stop raids for 1 hour" button is the same as the "raid channel button" and for people who are color blind, you cant tell the difference between what each button does.

7. Closed Caption Translations

   Can we add an ability for users to be able to translate closed captions? I recently added them to my stream to try to help a viewer who doesn't speak English and I could only talk to them through chat, but I was bummed to realize that he can't see them in his language.

   I realize that it would cost Twitch money to translate captions through a server, but it also seems like such a basic thing for the user experience. I'm sure there are streamers that I would like, but I can't understand their stream due to the language barrier.

8. Addressing the disability gatekeeping in Affiliate/Partner and Tags; Things we've brought up for Years now, and Possible Solutions.

   The way Twitch is currently set up, most people with moderate to severe disability(s) are entirely unable to join the community of streamers on equal ground. Forget Partner; just getting to Affiliate is a wall that not all of us have the equipment to climb over.

   On top of that, streamers have to choose either putting tags related to their games OR to their identity and community markers; am I putting "autistic" or "CC" or "hard of hearing" or "disabled or "nonbinary" or - or- or - OR.

   There's no consideration for this, for the many of us who are passionate and have so much to share, who want to be an active part of the streaming community on Twitch in a way that allows us to access the same possibilities.

   I won't just complain: There are steps that can be taken toward positive change.

   One: Have an Alternative Needs option for Partner and Affiliate that would be, instead of an application to start with, a form to submit that we can use to tell you what we can and cannot reasonably do because of our disability(s). Then send an Adapted application with those restrictions removed and possibly some other goals (within our power and not dependent on others, ie: views/follows) reasonably altered or extended to make it fair. An example would be: "A disabled streamer cannot stream multiple times a week or adhere to a predictable/regulated schedule, however their total time streaming is [time], and they have been streaming since [date], and therefore is a good option for the program."

   Alternatively, require ID verification only and allow the Affiliate program to be significantly more open and accessible to people of all schedules and lifestyles, and then the above suggestion would only apply to Partner.

   Two: We have been asking for changes to the tag system for years now. Those changes are long overdue, the pizza is cold and moldy, and it's a problem.

   Unlimited tags is an easy way to effortlessly solve this, but I have an even more community-driven suggestion. Do you all remember when YouTube used to actually have side-bar profiles? Twitch could really use something like that, a place for more than a brief sentence to introduce ourselves on a crowded screen.

   An actual profile page to get to know the streamer, favorite games, how long they've been part of Twitch, and what communities they're a part of would be an incredible boon for us all. And that last part about the communities? That would be where the tags relevant for WHO we are as streamers would go. Separating them from the stream information means viewers could search for a type of stream AND a streamer from a community they want to participate in.

   At the end of the day, we've been asking for these exact things, Twitch, for literal years. Look in this category and see just how many repeats there are with hundreds of votes, some from 2019. We feel ignored, invalidated, undervalued, unwanted, and incapable of even hoping for what is, for everyone else, an equal opportunity. Show us, through change and not words, that you're listening.

9. Global Tone indicator Emotes

   Emotes for all user to indicate tone for those of us who cant tell tone from text. I personally was diagnosed with autism at a very young age and as such I struggle with telling tone, especially from text. Chat indication would help SIGNIFICANTLY for people like me.

10. Subtitles

    I think it can be hard to hear and understand everything and can see in chat, many users have this problem too.
    So let the single users chose subtitles or not subtitles, just like they also have at YouTube.
    Steamers do not know this problem real and why no one chose subtitles.

12. Allow Twitch users to have the option to choose which UI layout they use

    I think it's no secret that the sitewide UI changes introduced in September of 2019 (And subsequent UI changes) have had an overall negative impact on the user accessibility, level of visual appeal given off, as well as the user & community culture of the Twitch website. In fact some users would argue the changes made to the UI prior to the 2019 change were more adverse of a change.

    I don't even feel as though I need to explain this loss of user accessibility... Anybody who has been at all regularly using Twitch from before the UI update of September 2019 will understand what I am talking about. This Reddit thread on r/Twitch goes into further detail: https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/gifj3s/about_new_ui_design/
    (The hundreds of upvotes on the post, as well as many dozens of comments, also with dozens of upvotes give you an indication as to how widespread this pov actually is)

    Whole user scripts were created to try and revert the changes made to the site in 2019: https://userstyles.org/styles/175731/new-twitch-ui-to-old-twitch-ui

    Another highly upvoted thread asking to revert to the old layout:
    https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/d9kudy/how_to_switch_from_new_twitch_layout_to_the_old/

    Another thread complaining about the new UI: https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/ghwf13/can_i_change_back_to_the_old_twitch_layout/

    A different site detailing using userscripts to change the UI to be more like the old UI: https://wiretuts.com/how-to-bring-back-old-twitch-layout

    And the list goes on and on... Point is, this is NOT just a minority of people who want this change. It is widespread on the platform and is more visually unappealing than a plate of mouldy food. PLEASE give us the CHOICE to use the platform how WE would like to.

13. It is hard to associate channel logos to just the streamers name. It changed near June 15 2022 where it only shows the logo in collapse mode

    I have a visual disability, and it is ******* my eyes to associate a channel logo to the streamers name.

    Prior to the visual update, the channels found on the left side, when collapsed, only shows the logo, but when you mouseover, it expands the channel view and shows all of the streamers name.

    How it is now, I either have to expand the channel view, or mouse over each individual streamer to see who it is. Please revert it back to 'expand on mouseover' in collapse mode, rather than 'show info of a single streamer mouse over' in collapse mode.

14. Accessibility option for animated emotes

    Hi Twitch! Photo-sensitive Twitch enjoyer here. Could we please get an option to disable possible seizure inducing animated emotes? Examples being fast, flashing, rapid color alternating emotes that have become popular recently. I love the addition of animated emotes, but these specifically catch me off guard and could trigger a seizure while I'm chatting, or even live streaming.

16. TTS for speech impaired streamers

    I’m speech impaired and a large amount of streaming relies on the streamer communicating with their audience, although typing while gaming is difficult I do think the ability to turn text into speech built in twitch for streamers would allow many streamers like me to produce content other than just gaming, I for one would love to do talk shows with friends about gaming/movies/anime etc but I’m held back because there’s no support for speech impaired streamers on twitch as far as I’m aware.

17. 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.

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.

20. Allow the term "Blind Playthrough"

    I understand you want to make the platform more accessible for the visually impaired and that's great. I believe the decision to remove accessibility options is moving in the wrong direction. First of all you should add more terms and tags that are inclusive to the visually impaired instead. Secondly the word "Blind" does not ONLY apply to peoples with disabilities. It is basically the only word in the English language that correctly and accurately describes what is going on with the playthrough. The word Blind means - lacking awareness, judgment, or perception. It makes little sense to say you are trying to increase accessibility options by taking them away. I am a person with my own disabilities and all my content was "Blind Playthroughs" and you removed my accessibility to the platform.
