  • 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. Browser scrollbar is 99% invisible and 1 pixel width.. pretty bad UX for everyone, especially if you have bad eye sight or not ultra accurate mouse hand coordination, but i guess twitch doesnt care about that.

  2. I am attempting to report a bug with closed captions. I can not find a way to do it. A report bug other, fill in the field would have saved me about a half hour at this point. I am watching the rerun of critical role and the closed captions are gibberish. They work fine for the 7pm run and not the 12am run. It has been this way for atleast 3 weeks.

  5. The search form (and a few other forms) aren't screen reader friendly because they list the form title within the form which disappears as you start typing, stopping you from hearing the form title after entering text.

  6. You've made twitch completely unusable with this new interface. I can't find anything I want to watch, I can;t find the people I am subscribed to and it keeps opening random streams.

    How is anyone with cognitive issues supposed to navigate this hellscape of an interface now?

    PUT IT BACK!!"!

  7. This site (User Voice) uses a gray typeface for body text. Gray text is very difficult to read for people with vision issues or dyslexia. I'm pretty sure it is discouraged by accessibility best practices.

    (Have you ever looked at the fine print in the contract you sign at a used car dealership? It's printed in gray to discourage people from reading it!)

    I've also seen gray type in other locations on the Twitch site. Please make your platform more accessible.

    Thank you.

  9. Currently, UI appearance preferences such as Dark Mode and Chat Appearance settings are lost when you change browsers, change computers, clear out your cookies and site data, restore from a backup, or other common interruptions/changes happen.

    Less critical but still annoying, you also lose your favorite/most recently used emotes and have to search for them again.

    This is tedious and frustrating and wholly unnecessary, since so many similar settings are stored perfectly in the account itself, such as Stream Manager layout.

    Thank you :)

  11. When Using the twitch app on iOS, the player either plays vertically or horizontally. However, when I plug my power cord in to charge my phone, I can't rotate my phone 180 degrees to keep player and chat in view. Player flips horizontally and doesn't show chat. Would be nice for player and chat to show when phone is flipped 180 degrees that the player and chat shows the vertical player layout.

  13. I don't know what window width Twitch imagines as a minimum, but it's clearly wider than my window width, as chat and the chat menu do NOT display on a channel page unless I maximize my window. This is utterly insane in 2023. The chat menu must ALWAYS show, no matter how narrow the window. I will not say how wide my window is, because my entire point is that it should not matter. The inventor of the WWW, Tim Berners-Lee, intended it to be device independent. That means that everything on the page should be accessible regardless of window…

  14. If the browser zoom level is changed , chat scrolling doesn't work.

    The chat keeps saying "Chat paused due to scroll" when I haven't scrolled anything.

    Whatever you're using to detect whether the chat has scrolled isn't taking into account the browser zoom level.

  15. Loud sounds with streamer store is hurting my, and probaly, others hearing

  16. スマホアプリでUIを変更する前に戻せ。
    アプリを開いた時にフォローしてるチャンネルが一覧として見える状態に返せ。
    今Apple Storeの評価は全部そのことで星1だぞ。それにここのページをちゃんと日本語に変更しろ。どこが書けばわからんから全てのページにこの文章を送りつけてやる。

  18. Instead of the hover tool tip saying "see recent videos" (we kinda GET that already), have the tool tip have the actual channel name.

  19. are you idiots or what?..why have you banned the channel "Sinicawho"?..it's not her fault - neither she chose to play that video herself, neither she knew what's going to be shown in the video..besides it's a video from youtube, not pornhub..first of all, how can she know what's the content of the video, n second, how can she expect something improper, especially when it's from a site like youtube?..it was i who ordered this video for her and others to watch, to be precise: "Miss Bashful X DBBD- Short King Spring" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83tp9wyHpfM, just like i ordered "Eartheater - Pure…

  20. I am currently trying to reach out to Twitch support, via the support form, to ask for clarification on one of the community guidelines rules via presenting an example. However, when I pick the "Community Guidelines query" sub category, the only detail categories I can assign are "I'm banned from chat" and "I'm unable to file a report due to a bug."

    This is not helpful. As far as I can tell after poking around a bit at the various options, there's no way for me to directly ask for clarification about the community guidelines without giving my form submission…
