Accessibility Warning tags for Games.
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.

Our UK Epilepsy charity community stands behind warnings of strong visual patterns if the streamer can reasonably say they expect these.
A variety of streamers have placed warnings in their titles on games like Cyberpunk 2077

This is so important. Accomodating those with disabilities makes it both a safer and more welcoming experience for them. Please implement this.

With how complex gaming visuals continue to be in their pursuit of a "cinematic" experience and how mainstream esports and gaming content creation is becoming, more accessibility warnings should be implemented as soon as possible.

This is one of those ideas that are so great and obvious I'm somewhat shocked it hasn't happen yet? So yes! Let's make this happen!

With all these new tags I had hoped they would have added some type of seizure warning tag. Instead we got neurological condition and invisible disability which both can be thousands of disorders.
Neurological disorders can range from epilepsy, narcolepsy, Alzheimer's and even migraines.We need a warning for those (like me) who can go into a seizure if we stumble into the wrong stream.

This is incredibly important. I try to mention them in the title, with timers and commands in chat, and sometimes with a visual trigger warning on screen. However, members of my community have still been caught unawares. And I mean that not just for physical health-related warnings, but also for mental-health warnings like trigger warnings for certain kinds of violence. That does real harm to people, sometimes ruining an important moment coming up or hitting someone at a moment they're trying to distract themselves. I think an optional trigger warning that pops up over the video in some way, almost like the "Mature Content" warning would work. But for those who want it or like to discuss heavy topics, this is very necessary to protect people. Please do this, I've been wanting something like this for years!

This would be extremely helpful. It is hard to consistently remind new people of the lighting warnings I have on stream and not everyone looks at the commands in chat. This is absolutely needed for the safety of our communities.
