How it works:
  • Choose a relevant category for your idea and check to see if any other users have already submitted this suggestion before creating your own
  • Be clear with your suggestion, provide examples and solutions to the problem you are posing. Suggestions without actionable feedback may be closed without comment
  • Upvote existing ideas, as opposed to creating multiple similar requests
  • 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. I want to hang out in streams, but sometimes the streamer's music is just too oppressive, and my brain can't handle it.

    It would be nice to be able to SILENCE their music track.

    Since Twitch allows streamers to setup a separate music track in OBS anyway, this should be possible.

    Just let me choose to switch to the track that's already being saved to the VOD.

  2. The video player on the new mobile app has a muddy/ blurred border around it. I have vision issues and its causing bloom issues that are making it impossible to actually See the stream I am watching. Its especially bad in landscape mode. The old black border it had on it was perfect, it didn’t have a ton of bloom and I could watch easily. Also, the menu to get to following has a really small hit box. Please just revert back to the old ui, it was accessible and was perfect how it was.

  5. 2024 from the Desk of the New Horizens Nation Rights Advocacy Leadership Chair( from 2023.

    Facts before the law:

    The official world court of Justice; the Number of citizenship requests to join our country is in from the year 2020.

    4.5 billion out of 6 billion (eligible to address the World Court of Justice)

    275 million from USA.

    Sorry twitch executives you have been outvoted and the 100 senators have no say. We have accepted their change of country request. as of 2020

    The law requires Verification to be done a certain way for all users.

    pure cellphone verification is…

  6. 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).…

  7. Closed captions should be a built in feature across all of Twitch. CC should also have the ability to be shared on other collab Twitch streams for deaf streamers to see what others are saying.

    ADDITIONALLY:

    Many deaf and hard of hearing people that watch streams, play video games and even want to stream feel discouraged to stream because they can’t communicate with others efficiently.

    There’s a new software called E-nterpreters made specifically for deaf gamers to communicate with others. E-interpreters is a gaming tool to convert voice calls into sign language to ensure deaf and hard of hearing players…

  9. 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.

  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. We NEED the option to turn off things we wish not to use or see.

    I don't need a daily notification about twitch prime, when i don't have it or even want it.

    Turn off "Twitch Suggestions", basically you're entire front page. It's essentially useless to me.

    Hide extensions before i enter a stream. Some people litter their screens with extensions and it's a giant turn off, let the viewer decide if we want them up or not. Instead of always being auto on.

    I think i'm making my point with what i'm asking for and it's NOT that hard…

  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. With so many new Drops being added, there should be an option to mark games as Favorites. This would make it much easier to separate the games we actively play from the rest.

    The Favorites section should always appear at the top of the list, while all other games are displayed below it.

    Even if a favorite game does not currently have any active Drops, it should still remain in the Favorites section. Once a game has been marked as a favorite, it should always stay there unless the user manually removes it from their Favorites.

  17. As title. Please allow people who never use them to toggle them off. If you end a chat message with an emote and then start typing again without re-clicking the chat box it loses focus and if anything you're typing uses a shortcut key it's activated. Drives me potty.

  19. under my following page where the people I follow are listed as little circles on the left, If I hover over that, it's because the icons are too similar to tell apart or tell what user it is without clicking on on it. All I get now is "Recent videos". Why would I want to see recent videos when I can't even tell what person that is as the icon is too small/generic/similar to other icons????
