  1. 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…

  2. Sometimes a streamer announces a specific time when they will go online and do something special (an event, an announcement, etc.). It would be cool if I could get a small sound alert when that streamer goes online so I can in the meantime play some game or do other stuff while waiting and don't have to watch the clock all the time.

  3. 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…

  4. 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…

  5. 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

  6. When you added the ability to have emotes appear in the text box, instead of the text that makes the emote appear, it broke the "Press Enter after message" option in stream deck buttons that type text wherever the cursor is.

    As a (physically disabled) mod who often needs to quickly type the same few commands for bots in another channel's chat, I use several of these stream deck buttons. This change has reduced the speed I can sent these commands by a lot. So, please restore the ability for stream deck buttons to send messages after typing them.

  7. Providing plain text emails is an important aspect of user accessibility. They're easier to look at and less error-prone to assistive technologies.
    It also plays a role in respecting user privacy.

  8. Self Identity creator tags / visual guides :3

    Now think with me, people might be looking for other creators though tags to filter out their preferences, and i think that's neat saves time and its efficient and a great way to find new favorite company for your hours spent on twitch!
    But there isn't a way to go to someone's profile though tags D: oh no!
    Fear NOT!
    My suggestion is that we should add "identity tags" that would serve as visual references as soon as you opened someones profile!
    Tags right next to your profile that would identify you…

  9. 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.

  10.  I have been watching Twitch since around 2014-2015 and it is one of my favorite go to platforms to watch my favorite Content Creators. There are all sorts of great features and options for you to use and explore, but there is one thing I think everyone is over looking.
    
     When watching my favorite content creators personally I love the gameplay and the personality of the creator that makes the stream enjoyable, and that's why I am here. I am more than happy that Creators can listen to their music now without to many consequences because of the way twitch

  11. As the title says, please let people make new lines (and even a free space line) in text messages.

    For me as disabled streamer with problems recognizing the small letters bc of my eyes and problems with understanding too, it's horrible to get a 500 signs message with no free line in a big block.

    It's so hard to see/understand what people write. On bad days it's even impossible. That is useless stress and embarrassment for me, plus viewers aren't happy if their message is not/wrong understand too.

    New Lines and free spaces could make this so much better -…

  13. 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!

  14. 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.

  15. It would be nice to have the option to have a light themed chat while in theatre mode for those of us who use light theme as default. Right now it switches to dark theme whenever theatre mode is enabled while watching a stream.

  16. Blind users of the sight use a number of programs to help them however going and clicking buttons can be awkward with those programs a chat command that they could run to follow someone would be great, even better if they could do it from a different channel and follow with a @ when someone is shoutouted out.

  17. Added the ability for viewers to choose the volume of the different audio tracks in the stream. Sometimes as viewers we just want to hear the streamer's voice and not necessarily the game sound. Would it be possible to implement a solution that would allow the viewer to adjust the different audio tracks?

  18. Can we undo this terrible TikTok style UI on mobile, I can’t find anything and I don’t want to immediately be put into a stream when I open the app. It’s annoying and searchability is terrible. The UI that was there from early 2024 and before was better

  19. The inclusion of animated channel avatars is honestly excessively stimulating and makes it very difficult to navigate the page. Right now, I have to go digging through genres I never knew existed just to tell Twitch not to recommend to me a channel because it's using a frantically animated avatar that makes it difficult to check my favorites panel.

    I would appreciate it if there was an option to either (A) disable animated channel avatars, or (B) disable suggested channels. Either of these ND-friendly options would allow me to use the favorites panel again.

  20. the emote rain thats triggered by certain events (like on raids, follows, subs, etc.) containing some twitch emotes and channel emotes in all colors and sizes, overlaying the chat, follow list and everything else around the stream player, can be visually so much overwhelming that i have to look away to not get a seizure or something

    therefore i'd like to suggest an option to disable that emote rain

    alternatively at least limit the raining emotes to the area of the stream player, so that the surrounding elements are not overlaid and provide a visually stable (non-flickering) framing

    this emote…
