  1. Hello, when I go to change the meta data (description, category, title, etc.) of a previously uploaded video to the Twitch channel, I cannot save the changes.

    e.g. on an edit page of an uploaded video: dashboard.twitch.tv/u/[channelname]/content/video-producer/edit/[VideoID]

    Unlike with a Highlight or Past Broadcasts, I am not given the "Save Changes" Button, there is only "Cancel".

    The other buttons are there, Download, Export, Share, Add to collection, and Unpublish; but Save Changes is not present.

    When uploading new video, you only have the Publish and Cancel button. Again no Save Changes button. So you can't change any of the meta…

  2. Sexual content needs to be completely rid of on this platform. Women coexisting with this form of content on this platform has led to various forms of harassment and objectification towards women and has put many women in real life harm. I’ve never seen so many women feel so unsafe on a platform and I myself, as a woman, feel that amount of sexual content on this platform, sexualizes the women who want to use the platform to simply play games and have fun. The amount of content like this endangers female streamers and younger audiences and leads to a…

  3. Since early April, my account has been completely blocked from chatting in all Twitch channels due to a forced phone verification prompt, even though I’ve never been suspended or banned.

    I attempted to verify using a real mobile number (not VOIP or landline), but Twitch either doesn't accept it or fails to send the SMS code. I’ve followed all instructions.

    I sent multiple emails to Twitch Support, but from April until late May, all I received were automated responses repeating the same instructions. It wasn’t until much later that I was told my account was possibly “flagged”, with no context,…

  4. While it's great that the ability to rewind streams while they're live, and you've provided an option to hide the seek bar. Please provide an option to hide it by default, so that we don't have to disable it every single time we start a stream.

  7. There has been a recent rise in streamers misusing the tag system, most noticeably with non-Vtubers using the Vtuber tag. This makes discoverability more difficult for both streamers who are actually Vtubers, and viewers trying to use the tag system to find Vtubers. Even prominent streamers are misusing tags, so this behavior has been spreading. I'd like to ask Twitch staff to please enforce action on the misuse of tags to help the streamers and viewers who are using the tag system as intended. Banning streamers from using specific tags they have been caught and verified to be abusing them…

    Twitch responded

    Hi, thanks for flagging this and sharing your suggestion.

    We share and understand your concerns about how the intentional, repeated misuse of tags can undermine the purpose of the tags product itself.  Tags are an important discoverability feature for communities, and a powerful way for all Creators—but especially those that are underrepresented—to express their personal identity and creative vision for their content.

    We also do not feel Twitch should be the judge of Creators’ personal or creative identity, so we typically only enforce against the misuse of tags when it is associated with other behavior that violates our Community Guidelines such as hateful conduct or harassment.

    That said, as the VTuber community’s experience demonstrates, there are limitations to this approach and we are actively investigating additional steps we can take to protect and improve the integrity of the tags feature at scale, without infringing on good faith Creators’ personal choice…

  9. Auto mod is blocking words that for no apparent reason need to be blocked i.e. Good or lol and !clip , while not blocking other things. As far as I can see this is to do with the machine learning "feature" that was added. while I understand the potential this feature has I feel it may need longer to cook. It say based on what my mods block, I feel its maybe to stringent on its initial settings. I have disabled the auto-mod for now but i would much rather auto mod block something prior to it showing up for…

  10. Make the clipping feature better and more fun to use.
    I clip on streams a lot, and like many others, I’ve built up hundreds, if not thousands, of clips. It can be very very hard to navigate them when you just want to find and rewatch a specific one. That’s why i want to suggest a "Favorite Clip" and a "Clip Collection" feature; it would make searching for and organizing clips so much easier.

    If you go to Creator Dashboard > Content > Clips > Clips I've Created, you can see how messy it can get. That’s why it would…

  11. Hello Twitch Team,

    I’d like to suggest a feature that could greatly improve streamer safety:

    ➤ Please add an option that allows streamers to make their livestreams only visible to logged-in users.

    This is particularly important for protecting creators from Swatting, doxxing, stalking, and anonymous harassment. At the moment, anyone can watch a public stream without even having a Twitch account, which makes it easy for people with bad intentions to remain completely anonymous while gathering information.

    In serious cases like Swatting – which has affected many creators – this lack of control over who can watch the stream is…

  12. Add an option to hide global badges. Even better, to hide certain ones.

    This would be a privacy feature.

    We should be able to control what is seen on our name when clicked in a viewer list and this gives us the option to disclose where we have been viewing/ that we have subbed in certain time periods etc.

    Feels like this is way overdue.

  13. Enforce Anti Terrorism policies or "Terms of Service"
    Why is Hasan Piker Still streaming?
    From your own website: "Twitch does not allow content that depicts, glorifies, encourages, or supports terrorism, or violent extremist actors or acts. This includes threatening to or encouraging others to commit acts that would result in serious physical harm to groups of people or significant property destruction. This also includes displaying or linking to terrorist or extremist propaganda, even for the purposes of denouncing such content. "

  15. My channel streams Poker Tournaments as a skill-based and educational activity, focusing on bankroll management, strategy, and responsible play. I always include clear disclaimers such as “NO to Gambling – this channel does not promote gambling websites or betting in any form.”

    Despite this, my channel is constantly flagged with the “Gambling” classification due to false reports from haters. This is unfair and harmful because:

    The forced “Gambling” label makes my streams unavailable in Italy and some EU countries, blocking my entire community.

    It misrepresents my content, which is educational and entertainment-based, not gambling promotion.

    Other Poker Tournament channels continue…

  16. Hello Twitch,

    I stream Poker Tournaments as a skill-based and educational activity, focusing on bankroll management, strategy, and responsible play. I always include clear disclaimers such as “NO to Gambling – this channel does not promote gambling websites or betting in any form.”

    However, every time my audience grows, I receive false reports from haters. These malicious reports trigger a forced “Gambling” content label for 7 days, even though my streams clearly do not promote gambling.

    This label has serious negative effects:

    It makes my streams unavailable in Italy and several EU countries, unfairly blocking my entire community.

    It misrepresents…

  17. I would like Twtich to add a simple "remove/delete whipser message" function that removes a message you sent in whispers to someone so the other person can't see it anymore. Almost all other forms of direct messages have this and it makes no sense why Twitch whispers wouldn't have it too. For privacy resons if nothing else.

  18. When the stream is paused and you come back, you expect to be watching the live feed and chat can sometimes seem confusing even with the info panel at the bottom. I understand that twitch is trying to make it so when you pause the player, you start at the same point, but I think that if the red live button is showing it should be considered a live pause and handled differently.

  19. As a streamer and Twitch viewer, I use this platform daily. I personally do not have much opinion on the updated approach regarding Twitch's policies on sexual content and classification labels, and it may benefit some. However, I believe there has been a major oversight when rolling out these changes.

    I am aware that streams marked with the Sexual Themes tag will not be displayed on the home page (logical enough), yet they still show up in other categories. The preview thumbnails even showcasing full nudity (and some potential rule breaks surpassing just "artistic nudity"), while I am just trying…

  20. Hello Twitch Support,

    I would like to formally report a serious case of botting on your platform. I am aware of a streamer who has admitted to using bots in order to artificially inflate their viewer count and “feel more comfortable with themselves.”

    This is a clear violation of Twitch’s Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. Despite having already submitted multiple reports about this issue, I keep receiving automated responses saying that everything is fine. I am very concerned, as this behavior is unfair to honest streamers and harmful to the integrity of the platform.

    I kindly ask that this…
