  1. I would like to see an option to impliment a means of switching on or off a NSFW filter, which will blur any streams with a SexualTheme tag attached, I am a frequent user of the Art category and with the new update has brought a slew of "artists" out who seemingly have only come to create hentai and I have no interest in any of that, I want to see traditional art, So I feel that if Twitch are allowing the content there should be tools for viewers who do not want to see that content also, There's NSFW…

  2. Hi everyone
    I suggest create API request to get active twitch drops, like:
    {Company, Name, StartDate, EndDate}
    or something else
    Based on this, developers of client applications will be able to make TwitchDrops notifications based on the preferences of the user or the discord server
    I'm sure it's easy to do and doesn't have any downsides.

  3. I am a streamer I can't read my chat because I have a disability there needs to be a text to speech program that reads the chat out loud for people with disabilities Preferably something that works with OBS and the majority of streaming software's so streamers with disabilities can communicate with their viewers

  5. I want to be able to serve the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and CODA communities, and I am not anywhere near fluent in American Sign Language. The process to set up closed captioning looks confusing, and I would be grateful to receive help to include under-served communities.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  13. My eyesight sucks and I have ADHD and dyslexia, so reading chat is already hard. I have my second monitor set to 200% text scaling just to be able to read it while streaming.

    There’s been so many times I’ve missed that different people have chatted because their usernames “blend in” - ie, for whatever reason a lot of people have their names set to that “dingy” teal which doesn’t contrast well. Add lowercase long-ish usernames, and I’m really slowing down to keep track of who’s who. Same for raids, when a bunch of unfamiliar usernames come blazing into chat.

  14. The search form (and a few other forms) aren't screen reader friendly because they list the form title within the form which disappears as you start typing, stopping you from hearing the form title after entering text.

  15. I had an idea for Twitch that appeals to accessibility, so I think it's worth a look. A lot of streamers put a block of text in an image and use that as a clickable profile panel, but for people with slow connections where images won't load, or people who use screen readers, they won't get that same information. I was thinking if there was another box added for "alt text" when adding a panel, that would help a pile of people. I know there are a ton of people viewing on mobile, have poor eyesight, or are otherwise disabled…

  16. As someone who frequently gets recommended channels that begin with "FINAL FANTASY XI", I believe the sidebar could be improved. For example, FINAL FANTASY XIV shows up as "FINAL FANTASY XI..." The trailing "..." takes up almost as much space as the "V" would. It would seem there is a character limitation coming in to play here, but it results in a less than optimal user experience for people who watch a lot of FINAL FANTASY related content. Maybe some exception to the character limit can be made for certain game titles? I don't know the best solution, but I…

  17. A lot of creators on Twitch have had their content. artwork, even brand name, stolen and reused by bots, and malicious users. There is currently no way to report these. I personally have tried multiple ways in the last year to get multiple accounts removed with no success because no department wants to take responsibility for this, and there are hundreds, possibly thousands of accounts that are bot created mimics of streamer accounts. Can we not have an easy way to report these account mimics (many of which are just dormant to possibly be used later for something more malicious).…

  18. With a big number of streamers appearing on the platform every day, it can be quite challenging and overwhelming to see who is actually online in long list of followed channels.

    I would appreciate the possibility to group bunch of followed channels together, for example as "Evening chill".

    Then this group of channels will still be in the list of followed channels but in named subgroup. Therefore, I dont have to scroll through infinite number of followed channels to see if any of my "Evening chill" streamers are online.

    Users could add multiple groups and change the order of all…

  19. Different sound channels allow users to adjust various elements, such as game sound, the streamer's microphone, and other notification alerts. There will be a default option for streamers and additional adjustment choices for different sound channels.
