Add a clear section for alternative text to describe panels
Accessibility is a huge, ongoing problem on social media and streaming platforms, and this includes the way panels work on Twitch. I personally use photos to create a consistent brand on my page. Individuals visiting my page who use a screen reader are not able to know what my panels say because they are image-only. I hope that Twitch will consider adding an alternative text section (that will not show as text placed in the description shows). This will increase accessibility for all individuals on twitch and allow those of us who use a consistent branding system to maintain that branding.

Twitch is a live streaming platform primarily used for video game streaming, but also for other forms of entertainment such as music, talk shows, creative content, and more. Twitch was launched in 2011 and was acquired by Amazon in 2014. The platform allows users to broadcast live video and audio content to their audience, who can watch and interact with the streamer in real-time through a chat feature.
Twitch has become a popular platform for gamers to showcase their skills and connect with their audience. The platform has also become a hub for esports events and tournaments, with many professional gamers and esports teams using Twitch to broadcast their matches and tournaments. https://drift-boss.pro
In addition to gaming and esports content, Twitch also features a variety of other content categories, including music, talk shows, creative content, and more. Twitch also offers a Partner and Affiliate program, which allows streamers to monetize their content through subscriptions, donations, and advertising revenue.
Twitch has become a major player in the online entertainment space, and it has helped to create a new generation of content creators and influencers who have built large and dedicated audiences through their live streaming content.

I absolutely agree with you, I am now encountering this problem, I really find it hard to interact with others, because it works quite badly, I would also prefer to simplify this process, strange that Twitch has not done this so far, probably there are some technical problems that do not allow them to achieve this. Besides this I usually use https://phdessay.com/free-essays-on/social-media/ because here I can find a lot of useful information, and more than that it helps me by saving me a lot of time and by this I manage to take care of other personal stuff, I think that here I can also find many ideas to improve this service, because this source inspires me with new ideas. I also know a lot of students who use it and I have to say that I did a statistic and I noticed that students who use the given source - have 20% better grades than those who don't. I found this information quite interesting.

Platforms such as Twitter and Instagram have included Alternative Text options to allow more accessibility to their users. While many might consider social media in general to be a very visual-heavy experience, there is a sizable population of users who require screen-readers like psoymilk has mentioned. This change would open Twitch up more to those audiences and help to advance Twitch's ongoing mission to diversify the community and make the platform that much more accessible.

I wholeheartedly agree! Accessibility is often an afterthought at most and that breaks my heart. Part of Twitch's mission is to "empower people to create together" and "help streamers and communities connect around the games and topics they love and...do so more effectively". What Psoymilk is proposing is integral to bettering the Twitch community and fulfilling Twitch's overall message, "You're already one of us." I love Twitch and I am confident Twitch will continue to evolve in the right direction.
