  1. When in Mod View, opening up a user's profile shows you: All of their messages in the chat, their Warnings, Timeouts, and Bans, and any Mod Comments.

    Any messages that are caught by AutoMod and are rejected by a moderator appear in the user's main messages list.

    However, I think there should be a specific, separate section which lists all of the user's AutoModded messages that have been rejected. This would enable channel moderators a quicker, wider view of if a specific chatter has a habit of posting messages with suspicious words.

  2. I am a verified adult user (29) who has already completed the official identity and age verification process with Twitch Support. Despite proving my legal age, I am still subjected to blanket "Age and/or Region" blocks that prevent me from accessing various streams based solely on my geographic location.

    I am writing to propose a shift from "platform guardianship" to "user autonomy." While I appreciate the intent to maintain a safe environment, imposing a total block on verified adults is a significant restriction on individual freedom. As a legally responsible adult, I should have the liberty to decide what content…

  3. Please increase or remove the limit on blocked users for viewers.

    As a viewer, especially when watching large esports streams, chat can contain a large number of hateful, discriminatory, abusive, or otherwise unbearable comments. Reporting every single account is not realistic because the volume is too high.

    Blocking users is currently one of the only practical tools viewers have to protect their own viewing experience. However, the current blocked users capacity appears to be insufficient. Users I am certain I previously blocked have become visible again, which makes the feature feel unreliable and ineffective.

    Please either remove the blocked users…

  4. What i would like to see is an option for seizure warning that you can enable so that when someone click on your stream that it does not play right away and tells you that this stream has flashing lights in the game and you have to conform to continue watching it

  5. The current clips section is very unorganized and doesn't have sorting options. Whenever I'm on a certain category like GTA 5 for example and want to look at popular clips from another country/language like Japan I can't find the options/tabs to change the language or sort by popularity from a certain time frame. This feature used to be available a while ago but it's no longer there, but for some reason it's available when I logout or go incognito on my PC browser. Please bring back this feature.

  6. I notice that Twitch and Twitch Rivals do not have Threads. (Twitch does but it is sorely underused)
    You could post exactly what is posted on Twitter (x) and/or even just check a box on Instagram that it will automatically repost Instagram posts to Threads.
    Can we at least repost on Threads? :)

  7. Honesly im sick and tired of the big names (asmondgold, hassan,pokimane,ect...).Its always the same thing, same drama, same issue. Twitch need to implement a yearly performance based contract for each streamer. These need to be reviewed every year with a chance of extension or reset(can also be done by reviews of viewers). Give the little man a chance and let the big streamer to rest. They already had there 15min of fame and multiple ****-ups. Full reset new faces new chances!

  8. Trolls who have been blocked or suspended often log out, search for the streamer, and reappear on the stream page. There, they repeatedly engage in stalking and disruptive behavior within the game. This system is designed to prevent such behavior.

    We would also like to see a feature added that prevents accounts created within the past 1, 3, 6, or 12 months from accessing chat or watching streams, and hides them from search results.

    Just knowing that a creepy stalker is watching makes it impossible to enjoy streaming, so we would greatly appreciate this feature.

  9. Hello,

    The more I look at your safety age protection and message filtering systems, the less I can agree to them, despite I support efficient protective and preventive systems.

    A good system shall ask three basic questions:
    - Does the message AND past behavior indicate the user is (not) underage?
    - Is the person's message (obvious) satire/humor?
    - Is the (counter)-action appropriate? (required by law such as EU-DSA)

    Example one: people are banned for messages like "I am xyz years old" (usually below 13). Their account gets immediately locked until age verification. Despite them obviously joking or having an clear…

  10. It would be nice to integrate the Channel Feed feature into the Fediverse via ActivityPub to reach people outside Twitch, like Threads does. people would be able to follow streamers from outside Twitch

  11. The Issue: Recent updates to the Twitch TV app (Fire TV, Android/Google TV, Consoles) have removed Chat Replay from VODs.
    ​Why this matters: > 1. Loss of Context: A Twitch VOD is a communal archive. Without the chat, 50% of the context of the stream is gone.
    2. Lean-Back Experience: I watch on my TV specifically so I don't have to hold a device. Forcing me to use my phone to see the "vibes" of a past stream is inconvenient and counter-intuitive.
    3. The Solution: Bring back the optional chat overlay. If "UI clutter" is the concern, make it a…

  12. Persona should not be used at all for Twitch verification of any sort. Not even in single digits. They have a demonstrated lack of care for user ID information and have business associations with companies that endanger user safety.

    It has been stated on this site that there are various tools available for ID verification, age verification, or other uses. We may not have better established security proven for whatever other tools may be used, but with Person we have a known danger. I suggest that those other tools be used instead of Persona in all cases for showing a…

  13. Twitch could add a "Randomized Clip Username" setting in the Security & Privacy tab. This feature would allow users to display a random username or a nickname on clips instead of their real Twitch username, enhancing privacy. Users can enable it optionally and choose between a random username or a custom nickname. Streamers and moderators can still ban clip creators using the hidden real account information, maintaining fairness.

  15. When giving the Mod role to a follower, the role is automatically added. The person receiving the role is not required to confirm nor receives notifications.

    Being a Mod is generally seen as being associated to the channel, and can therefore lead to abuse, for example in case of controversies/controversial channels.

    I suggest to add one additional step to how mods are assigned, that requires the recipient user to accept the role.

    If this cannot be easily implemented (because it would, for example, break how Mod bots are configured for a channel), I suggest a clear notification should at least…

  17. Add the user’s profile picture next to their username in chat. This would improve chat identity, reduce impersonation, and make community interaction feel more personal—especially for streamers with large audiences.

  20. There is no confidence in Twitch's Reviewing of Reports, and crimes are being committed continuously because of it, with people's lives and safety being put it jeopardy.

    I have reported zackwrarr a dozens of times for the last 8 months. I have reported others as well, and the bigger streamers never get held accountable. There has been no action by twitch despite this violating TOS, specifically Community Guidelines: Violence and Threats, Terrorism and Violent Extremism, Hateful Conduct, Harassment, Breaking the Law, and Harmful Misinformation Actors. This extremist behavior is illegal and is targeted towards protected groups, and has caused harm…
