User Accessibility

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


If you need help:
This forum is for ideas only. If you need help, please check out our help portal for tons of articles that may answer your questions. If you still need help, you can reach out to our support team in the help portal as well!

Appeals or commentary on suspension decisions, support requests, suggestions disparaging others, and non-constructive feedback will be closed without comment.

  1. 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.

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

  3. 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…

  4. 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 :)

  6. 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.

  7. Basically, when reading the Twitch chat with the voiceover, it keeps saying double tap to show user actions, and it became very inaccessible

  8. 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…

  9. 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.

  12. Fairly simply, macos doesn't have an alt key so the shorcut for theater mode should be option+t or the option symbol plus t rather than alt+t, as it currently is.

  13. Please add a multi-channel audio feature that allows streamers to send independent audio tracks to Twitch, giving viewers the ability to toggle or mute them individually directly within the video player.

    Currently, Text-to-Speech (TTS), alerts, and background music are baked into one single audio track. This can be annoying or overwhelming for some viewers, while others rely on TTS for accessibility.

    Giving viewers the option to mute specific audio lanes (like a dedicated TTS lane) in the player settings would drastically improve the viewing experience and customization for everyone without forcing streamers to use complex third-party extension workarounds.

  16. Maybe it can be accessed by a slightly altered UTM Tag on the URL or whatever or "simplified.twitch.tv" where unnecessary UI elements with their animations (Like badges and pseudo-pop-up menus) are removed or done in a more friendly way & accessibility features are on by default. It'd also mean more color modes than just the Dark/Light modes with stuff like Sepia Light Filter, or Colour deficiency modes, or High Contrast mode etc etc
