  2. 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…

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  6. The sort/filter dropdown on the Browse page (where you can sort by "Recommended" or "High to Low Viewers").

    I would like Twitch to reconsider its default setting to : High to Low Viewers

    Sorting by "Recommended" vs. "High to Low Viewers" can significantly affect what content gets discovered, and changing the default could have a big impact on the browsing experience.

    As well as tremendously help out new streamers.
    As this setting by default COMPLETELY removes them from all categories.

  7. « Actuellement, bloquer un utilisateur l’empêche d’interagir, mais il peut encore rechercher mon pseudo et trouver ma chaîne. Je suggère que les utilisateurs bloqués ne puissent plus voir la chaîne dans les résultats de recherche, comme c’est le cas sur d’autres réseaux. »

  8. Currently, the Twitch platform advises that I provide a phone number to increase the security of my account, but the platform doesn't support VoIP numbers. The only phone number I have access to is a VoIP number. While not all VoIP services support receiving SMS verification/authorization messages, the one I use does. I understand the concern regarding allowing accounts to use VoIP numbers, including their adoption by bots and bad-actor accounts, but I also believe there are certain instances where their use should be permitted. Essentially, it's a user accessibility issue- some users are not able to afford the cost…

  9. You need to add a setting to decrease sound alert volume or a volume limiter because some people have really loud sound alerts which harms the ears of consumers.

  10. There have already been requests for automatic live captions on Twitch dating back to 2022 and 2023. However, deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers still frequently encounter streams without captions because caption availability often depends on the individual streamer setting them up.

    In 2026, real-time speech recognition technology has advanced significantly. I believe it is time for Twitch to reconsider built-in automatic live captions as a platform-wide accessibility feature.

    Twitch could automatically generate captions from the spoken audio of a livestream and allow each viewer to enable or disable them using the CC button. Streamers should not need to install an extension…

  12. The broadcast running time found under the video player needs to adjust depending on the content.

    Normal everyday people streaming on twitch, the timer should count up.

    Games showcase and news from the established ips the timer should countdown, because we know the duration of the video.

    For esports and others like, the timer should be invisible.

  13. Since watch streaks are now fully integrated into the plattform for everybody with channel points enabled, it would be nice to have the ability to see other's watch streak without having to wait for them to redeem it every 5 streams, kinda how you can see how many badges someone has when you click their name. It would only show the streak that person has on the stream you clikced their name. If the streamer hasn't enabled channel points, it could show a funny message or just don't show up at all.

  14. Hi,
    I have a small suggestion for improving the use of the sidebar that shows which streamers you follow are currently live. It would be great if the order could also be changed from few viewers to many viewers. Also it would be very nice to have a list for my favorite channels.

  15. This might be hard to implement but I've never seen such thing in any other platform, and if twitch implements this technology I think its a big leap for all streaming platform.

    Issue: There are three different sounds when it comes to streaming.

    1- streamer voice (speech)
    2- game sound
    3- the music he plays if he decides to do so.

    Imagine being on a stream where you enjoy what the streamer has to say, and you also want to keep hearing him because he's funny, and you also like the gaming sound, but in the same time he has…

  16. Updating the SEARCH function.
    This started as I wanted to search the DJs category by specific stream times (schedule) but that doesn't exist.

    As an SEARCH example:
    Day - Wed.
    Time Start - 7 PM (this would auto convert to viewers time)
    Time End -

    Genre - (note You should have PRE specified Main Genre Tags for DJs.
    IE: Pop,Rock,Rap,Breakbeat,Industrial,House,Techno,Trance,DNB etc
    This will make search more streamlined.
    Tag Search - search the user created tags to refine the above categories
    so if your stream is a DNB stream you could add the styles you

    play- IE Jungle , Nero, Techstep,…

  19. Allow users to add their own Alias for Channels they follow.
    When you follow new people, it would be good to have the option to add my own custom alias for YOUR reference, so you remember who they are. Eg. "Coffee Brewer" "Cooking Comp" "Charity Guy"...etc.

    I often follow channels then don't recognize their name a week later. Adding an Alias will jog our memory as to who they were, what they do, or how you met.

  20. Color blind option variety for the website, and all apps (including phone, console, etc.) I have Achromatopsia and it would a big benefit for other possible users to have something that does not blend everything together.

    Achromatopsia is colorblindness to the extreme, no color, basically what others would call grey scale eye sight, I have it, and a lot of websites including Twitch make it hard to navigate with some things that blend together. I have problems with the purple and other colors clashing causing me to either not see words, or other things.
