How can we make Twitch more accessible for users with disabilities or those who depend on assistive technologies to access our services?

User Accessibility: Feature Request

Categories

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.

    Sometimes I stream older/retro games which tend to go heavy on flashing lights and patterns and I'm not always aware of how bad it can get with some games especially if I'm doing a blind playthrough (meaning that I'd have no knowledge beforehand), so an accessibility warning for viewers that are affected by that can really help out!

    These tags should honestly be auto-applied the same way as the descriptive tags for the games themselves (e.g., how Path of Exile is categorized as indie) and users should have the ability to block these tags to prevent these streams from showing up on their radar altogether to avoid incidents. Leaving it up to streamers to add these tags is dicey at best, as not everyone is aware of accessibility needs (and not everyone who is aware is considerate enough to accommodate them).

    It's time Twitch starts paying attention, especially when their community gets hurt by this

    So incredibly important, and I cannot believe this isn't something that has already been addressed.

    We need these tags, yesterday.

    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 would be awesome and super helpful to so many people. Should be an easy to implement!

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

    This would help so many people, and honestly, needs implementing ASAP x
  • raziel_aurelius commented  ·   ·  Report

    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!
