  • 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

  1. Bonjour, dans les listes de nos chaines suivis on peu actuellement trier suivant deux catégorie, "Recommandé pour vous" et "Spectateur (décroissant)" pourriez vous ajouter un troisième tri "Spectateur (croissant)" Je suis beaucoup de chaine mais j'aime beaucoup regarder des petits streamers et ca sera plus agréable de pouvoir choisir de les voir en premier dans ma liste de chaine suivis plutôt que de faire tout défiler avec "afficher plus"

  2. This site (User Voice) uses a gray typeface for body text. Gray text is very difficult to read for people with vision issues or dyslexia. I'm pretty sure it is discouraged by accessibility best practices.

    (Have you ever looked at the fine print in the contract you sign at a used car dealership? It's printed in gray to discourage people from reading it!)

    I've also seen gray type in other locations on the Twitch site. Please make your platform more accessible.

    Thank you.

  3. Instead of the hover tool tip saying "see recent videos" (we kinda GET that already), have the tool tip have the actual channel name.

  4. Please, add support to Ukrainian language. I'm learning this language, so, I would like to use the website in Ukrainian, so I can get more familiar with the cases, vocabulary, etc. Thank you in advance

  5. I am currently trying to reach out to Twitch support, via the support form, to ask for clarification on one of the community guidelines rules via presenting an example. However, when I pick the "Community Guidelines query" sub category, the only detail categories I can assign are "I'm banned from chat" and "I'm unable to file a report due to a bug."

    This is not helpful. As far as I can tell after poking around a bit at the various options, there's no way for me to directly ask for clarification about the community guidelines without giving my form submission…

  6. 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…

  7. I’d like to see (and be a part of) a twitch accessibility guild! I plan to sign up for the women’s guild but I don’t see one for access? So many of us are disabled and access gamers and it’s time we asked more of our games and services. This is a great way to have a voice here on our streaming platform! Thank you! CariMurph.

  8. Currently, UI appearance preferences such as Dark Mode and Chat Appearance settings are lost when you change browsers, change computers, clear out your cookies and site data, restore from a backup, or other common interruptions/changes happen.

    Less critical but still annoying, you also lose your favorite/most recently used emotes and have to search for them again.

    This is tedious and frustrating and wholly unnecessary, since so many similar settings are stored perfectly in the account itself, such as Stream Manager layout.

    Thank you :)

  9. It would be cool when we can remove channels I don't want to see in the recommendations section on the following page.
    I know you can block channels on Start page, but where I don't see them.

    I really don't want to see this topless streamers. But I get them recommended all the Time

  10. As of today, notifications stopped to load properly in Opera, and I can't redeem TTS with channel points.

  11. When Using the twitch app on iOS, the player either plays vertically or horizontally. However, when I plug my power cord in to charge my phone, I can't rotate my phone 180 degrees to keep player and chat in view. Player flips horizontally and doesn't show chat. Would be nice for player and chat to show when phone is flipped 180 degrees that the player and chat shows the vertical player layout.

  12. I'd like to bring up an important matter regarding the accessibility of the Twitch application on LG TVs and Sony PlayStation. As someone who is Deaf, I rely on subtitles/closed captions to fully engage with the content on Twitch. Unfortunately, the absence of this feature on the LG TV and Sony PlayStation Twitch apps has been quite disappointing.

    The Problem:
    The current Twitch application on LG TVs and Sony PlayStations lacks subtitles/closed captions, making it challenging for users like me who depend on this feature to enjoy the platform to its fullest. While subtitles/closed captions are available on the PC…

  13. Basically, when reading the Twitch chat with the voiceover, it keeps saying double tap to show user actions, and it became very inaccessible

  14. 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…

  15. 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.

  16. When you press Control + Space all the UI disappears. Im not sure this is a feature, but it clashes with Control+Command+Space which opens up the Emoji window. Thus, it's impossible to open the emoji window within chat. (MacOS)

  18. The editable portion of the chat box contains not just the edit area but a bits button and an emote button. Typing on mobile can be tough and often I want to edit my message before posting to fix typos. After making edits in the middle of the message I often want to go to the end of the message and fix the last word or add something to the message.

    The problem? It's very difficult, even if using a stylus, to get the edit caret to the end of the text because the bits button is there.

    Since mobile…

  19. Since the new color design I find it really hard to focus (lurking and following my streamers) The dark theme especially is so contrasted that make my eyes hurt, I ended up lurking without even watching the page. I wish there was a better way to setup colors in twitch (not using shades or other addons for various browsers) or even have the option to revert to the old color theme!
    these things should matter more for viewers which make Twitch what it is, streamers won't be affected in any way!

  20. As a streamer & frequent twitch user, I used to love BTTV's black chat that was pure black background with bolder text, until they remove it. My idea is something similar to that, so I and others who used it could have an easier time reading chat.
