  1. When streaming via console, you can only stream the inbuilt consoles party chat audio but as many people use discord on it to communicate with people on other platforms it’ll be very helpful to be able to stream discord party audio on console. My friend just got into streaming and does it on console and our group uses discord to communicate, so he cannot stream our call and doesn’t want to purchase a laptop just to layer both audios on top of each other.

  2. 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…

  3. 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…

  4. 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.

  5. I'd like to request an addition to the moderation tools please. Yesterday, a user came into a stream chat that I moderate and talked about how they had previously been suspended by Twitch on that account. I couldn't find any official information on whether this was true or not. I think it would be very useful for mods to be able to see what the reasons for official Twitch actions are, so as to better keep chats safe.

    Equally, if these official actions are overturned after a successful appeal, then those marks should be removed from a users account

  6. If you had the chat opened when going into fullscreen from PC it automatically collapses; hence I need to open it again manually. A setting that could help with this would be useful

  7. I see some Streams with hoping Viewercounts like 30 Viewer, 10 min later there are 300 and again 10 minutes later there are only 30 again. I check also Websites like Twitchtracker to understand what i see. Some statistiks i see show pretty clearly,that there is something wrong with the viewers in the channel. In other words: This hoping don´t looks normal. Sadly Twitch doesn´t take a link to a third-party provider as an evidence. In my opinion Twitch should take a closer cooperation with websites like Twitchtracker to fight against the viewerbotproblem, so if someoe reports a Channel and…

  8. This is not a suspension appeal.

    I have been using this platform for over a decade now, and saw that a large streamer got banned recently for their commentary on stream. I want to point out how the current suspension flow is heavily lopsided toward playing it safe, and in doing so, hurts the platform by neglecting context and the way real users behave.

    As a major platform, it makes sense to play it safe to protect public image. However, the current flow used to reach this recent decision is actually hurting Twitch's public image due to neglecting the majority…

  9. There was a very public Twitch partner that was doing something to warrant their Twitch ban. After swiping through social media I found out that not only were they back on the platform, but re-gained Twitch partnership.

    Upon finding this information I quickly grabbed Instagram links, along with previous evidence of a ban-able offense on the platform only to see that they only got maybe a 2 week vacation (suspension) and started to stream on another platform.

    Site wide bans, regardless on why the report happens should be looked at by human eyes. To hear that automated systems are in…

  11. Please remove all the clutter on screen. I just want to watch the stream, I dont care what the stream watch streak is, i dont care who they’re streaming with. Just let us watch the stream. Or give us the option to turn it off, waste of time.

  12. Must as we can make certain words highlighted for ourselves as a viewer, I'd love to be able to blacklist words from chat as a viewer too.
    Mainly so I can stop seeing emotes from certain streamers, but I think it could assist other user from seeing triggering words or phrases too.

  13. Sort by keeps defaulting to recommend literally on every page, when I change it if I leave and comeback or even refresh it reverts back to recommended. Please fix it to remember what I left it at, it is unbelievably frustrating.

  14. It's getting more and more common for streamers to get harassed by bad actors who create burner accounts with offensive, foul, and sometimes even threatening names, and bypass all forms of chat moderation by simply redeeming a channel point redeeming and having their name appear in native twitch chat as "[threatening name] has redeemed _____"

    At this point there is literally no way to stop it. You cant remove the twitch message, you can't prevent it from being posted. Banning does nothing because you can only ban them post-redemption. And they'll just create another account and do it anyway.

    Chat…

  17. Users who have been banned from your channel or have been blocked in chat across Twitch should not have any of their emotes be visible to you (if blocked) or visible to your channel's chatroom (if banned).

    Streamers promoting hateful content often have that content include emotes for their channels that get auto-approved. While curating a blocked terms list containing emote short text helps to prevent bad actors from entering chat, often you'll see other chatters using emotes from streamers you have banned/blocked, meaning the offensive content of those streamers' emotes can get around the ban/block.

    No emotes, nor the…

  18. Contacted Twitch support multiple time. had to explain multiple time the issue, always received a pre-made reply not linked to the issue.

    And no way to give Twitch feedback about it.
    Suggestion:
    Take a look at the workflow of twitch support.
    Give a tool to report bad support; to improve it

  19. The setting in the moderation page to give exception for mail and/or phone number doesn't work.

    While exceptions given, my followers still need to provide their phone number to chat.

    Repeatable: yes
    Support contacted: yes and ignored (or didn't understand, but unlikely)

  20. 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.
