Tags with "TransRights" or similar strings being flagged as against moderation policy Hi there. I am a trans man who has been streaming on Twitch for a few years now. Following the opt-out generative artificial intelligence setting, some streamers have reported that they cannot add tags such as "TransRights" or "TransRightsHumanRights" to their streams, as these tags go against Twitch's moderation policy. I have confirmed that I cannot add these tags to my stream.
This is a haunting and pressing matter. As a streamer, I expect Twitch to be a place where my audience and I can hang out, play games, and make art. For this choice to be made-- surely this…

a block advertisers tool for streamers when brands don't match THE STREAMER'S values? hiya twitch! the update today about how twitch is using ai to match advertisers to streamers who match their values got me thinking.
Could get this going the other way too? can we get tools too that deny advertisers that conflict with the STREAMERS values?
we’re the broadcasters after all.
thank you for consideration.127 votes -
Allow Lead Moderators or Editors to access Broadcaster's Twitch Alerts It would be really fun to be given the option for our Editors or Lead Mods to be able to surprise broadcasters, and their communities, with new alerts. We do this already on my stream using StreamLabs, but we plan to migrate entirely away from their alerts system onto Twitch's own. It'd be great if we had that capability with Twitch's Alerts as well.

Sensitive social issues Bullet points need to be removed, not 'clarified' it doesn't matter how much you 'clarify' the point of the final two bullets, they are not fit for the political category especially when contrasted with the other things in the category. Putting peoples rights in there opens up marginalized groups to hate and bigotry. We want the points REMOVED and twitch's response is completely missing the point the community has been making.
At what point does something go from 'personal experience' to 'too political'? if a streamer talks about their own right to an abortion being taken away where they live, is that personal experience or political? it is…4,863 votes -
Disable Training for Generative AI Forcing all users to opt into having their content used for the training of Generative AI is a backstab to the own community and especially their safety. it is sickening that your voice, face, information, any personal branding will be stolen by default. its clear twitch still intends to keep their harmful and fraudulent AI features in tact but it should be something people knowingly and willingly have to accept into and not something discovered. twitch shouldn't be this deceitful towards its creators.
Please change it so that any generative training for AI is turned off by default and must…

A.I content classification With the new generative A.I opt in streamers should have to label if they are opted in or not. This gives viewers and other streamers who want to collaborate more freedom of choice. Opting out for yourself does not guarantee it is in the communities you may find. You should be able to make a more informed choice.

LGBTQIA+ words being censored / automodded Recently, Twitch has added the words Trans, Gay and Lesbian to the list of auto-mod words.
These should be removed from the default auto moderation tools, as the words in and of themself are not inherently offensive.567 votes -
Please DON'T implement the Highlight storage limit! Please do not go ahead with the Highlight storage limit. (https://x.com/TwitchSupport/status/1892277199497043994?t=WHF3xmUvvGdAMyI6CGdgoQ&s=19)
Dungeons and Dragons channels and other tabletop creators use Highlights to tell a story, while removing BRB breaks and other non-essential moments. These Highlights are pivotal to their lore and story! These streams are usually 4+ hours long with multiple seasons, adding up to 100+ extremely quickly.
Speed runners use Highlights to show off their best runs, and often have many over multiple years. Theres historic channels that are no longer active, where people can watch past content and reminisce on a time they may have missed.

Stop the integration of AI onto twitch. Nobody wants it, nobody asked for it. Nobody wants a stream recap feature The use of AI is harmful to the environment, the economy, mental health and the trustworthiness of facts. It is a solution in search of a problem that is being crammed into every nook and cranny of our lives and we're fed up with it

Uncontrolled Advertising on Twitch. I've been using Twitch for a long time, and I'm really fed up with these issues. Why does the platform allow Russian-speaking streamers to freely insert any kind of advertisement they want—even if it means 3–4 ad widgets promoting betting and gambling sites? What annoys me even more is that Twitch doesn’t make a single penny from all of this; the ads are entirely inserted by the streamers, and the platform seems to be saying, "Do whatever you want, as long as the stream goes on."
It’s simply absurd to treat both the content and the viewers this way. When…

Allow for better communication with real humans to appeal false bans/suspensions I have now two people I personally know that have gotten banned by bot accounts or just dummy accounts for reasons that are obviously untrue, and I have definite proof for one as I was present for their entire stream, and I know exactly what happened their entire stream.
These people are both dating each other and I'm very certain they were deliberately targeted as one got suspended two weeks ago, and the other today. They've also dealt with bigoted people saying hateful words (who are probably the ones reporting them). The one I was present in their stream I…

Exclude currently live streamers from viewer counts on other channels We propose that accounts that are actively broadcasting on their own channel should not be counted as viewers on other Twitch streams they may have open at the same time.
In other words, a streamer should still be able to open and follow other channels while they are live, for example to support friends or fellow creators, but their presence should not contribute to those channels’ concurrent viewer count.
This would make viewer counts more representative of users who are actually watching a stream as viewers, while preventing so-called “lurking” between streamers who are currently live from artificially influencing audience…

Automatic Viewer Stream Recovery & Auto-Loading for Live Channels I’d love to see Twitch add smarter automatic recovery for streams so viewers never have to manually refresh
If a stream you’re already watching disconnects or crashes, it should automatically attempt to reconnect and resume playback in the background (no “click to refresh” button, no page reload required)
If you have a channel open in a tab and the streamer goes live, the stream should load automatically without needing a manual refresh
Even when the existing save feature that keeps you connected on crashes setting is enabled, the player often stays in a broken/offline state for anyone who’s already on…

Twitch Safety and Trust & Safety Team, I am writing to request a platform-wide change to Twitch’s moderation and language policies con Dear Twitch Safety and Trust & Safety Team,
I am writing to request a platform-wide change to Twitch’s moderation and language policies concerning the term “deaf-mute” / “deaf mute.”
My request is NOT limited to situations where the term is directed at a Deaf person.
I am asking Twitch to consider recognising “deaf-mute” as a derogatory and outdated term that should not be used as an insult, slur, or form of abusive language anywhere on the platform, regardless of who the target is.
The important distinction is between legitimate discussion and abusive use.
For example, the term may appear when…

shouts Streamer shouts are great, but getting bombarded by a ton of streamers with shouts is a bit overwhelming. It would be great to have a filter to allow shouts from a streamer or not, instead of the take it all or leave it, all or nothing. I know many people who follow someone but might not want constant updates from shouts along with the live notifications from all but from some. It would be nice just to have a simple checkbox or toggle to allow shouts per followed streamer maybe.

stop allowing groups like the adl and destiny from compromising the platform destiny, who was banned from twitch loves to brigade and spread hate in general. this person along with others like ethan klein caused several middle eastern streamers to get banned for 30 days. now the adl is applying pressure against anti-zionist and pro palestinian sentiment. the adl is in support of an ongoing genocide and shouldn't be trusted. allowing these people and orgs to apply this pressure will compromise the platform.

Accessibilility issues with Ad beaks pausing Ads pausing when tabbed out or not in view, the ones that go "This commercial break can't play while you're away" are a safety issue for people with photosensitive Epilepsy as tabbing away is how I and others avoid flashing adverts that can cause seizures.
Purchasing turbo is not an answer as paying for accessibility is not an acceptable option.
The best option is to not allow flashing adverts, the next best is to go back on the option of letting ads pause when you're not looking.23 votes -

Streaming while Driving should be BANNED Streaming while driving should not be tolerated whatsoever. The current TOC clearly is not enough to cover this as there are still several LARGE streamers (that get posted on the homepage) still driving while they stream. There have been several accidents, near accidents, and unfortunately fatal accidents. We need to do better as a community to ensure the safety of the streamer and the people around the streamer, including passengers and other drivers and bystanders.
