Harassment & DOXXING For 9 months I have been reporting someone who has been harassing me over and over with NO response from Twitch. When will there be a real system in place to protect streamers??
This person has made numerous accounts with usernames that have shared personal information including my phone number, addresses, and names of family members. I have reported, banned, blocked, and had my MODs do the same, but nothing has ever been done on Twitch's end.
If others are going through this, I want to hear about it and what Twitch is going to do to help those of…

Sans-serif fonts Twitch's default font does not use serifs. Serifs are important for distinguishing I's from l's. For instance, if you can easiIy teIl which of the lowercase L's are or are not repIaced with uppercase i's in this sentence, you're almost definitely using a screen reader. Yes, there is a difference between them, but you wouldn't be able to tell me which is which.
This is a big issue in any online form of communication, for the following reasons:
1: Security. People can post a link that has an L replaced with an i, or sometimes vice versa, without it being…

Designated support team for streamers being bullied with ToS strikes without actually breaking ToS Hello, I have felt like there are a few things that have been concerning for small streamers in regards to some of the ways their account/channels in particular have been handled. Being aware that putting out content on the internet brings a platform for all types of eyes which in turn puts creators at a risk for various sorts of individuals who come in and out of their streams who may have ill intentions. There have been a few instances where creators feel they were singled out. Harassment being an example I personally feel should be something that, if possible,…

create safe list and ban list for embeds Give streamers the option to have a safe list for having streams embedded on outside sites and give streamers the option to disable sites from embedding them.
This could prevent people from making malicious sites to embed them without the streamers knowledge
this would also help reduce the amount of people broadcasting illegal content and hosting it on illegal sites
you could also then give streamers the option to unlock embedding as a feature after a streamers account is within good standing. (ie. when emotes are edible for instant approval or when a streamer reaches affiliate)

PubSub full documentation PubSub official documentation only list very few of the topics actually available.
It makes it "officially" not so useful compared to what it can actually do.Basically it could replace EventSub for most of the cases, and, being far easier to implement would open possibilities for many tools without inducing huge potential server costs.
Is there any plan to document all these topics someday ? Will it remain "unofficial" ?
Have a good day :)

Auto-filter for accounts that have never streamed but more than a couple thousand followers Please check if the number of followers of a channel is realistic if that channel has NEVER streamed. Recently there is a spike of purchased followers used in hate-raids against LGBTQIA+ people. A lot of this could be automatically prevented or at least decreased in how bad it is by automatically putting channels with a high followercount despite never having streamed on a watchlist and not allowing them to raid until this is reviewed.

Do Not Auto-Populate Sexualized Streams Under "Live Channels We Think You'll Like" Do not display soft p0rn in the home screen under "Live channels we think you'll like" unless a user has previously followed a specific tag (or an account containing that specific tag). I have never watched nor liked any content of that nature, and it continually populates in the late evening, yet, it is clearly inconsistent with Twitch Community Guidelines: "Sexually suggestive content or activities are also prohibited..." (This refers to hot tub streams with nearly naked hosts in promiscuous and revealing poses and ASMR streams featuring sexualized hosts.) Those channels are surely good for business, but constantly putting it…

Protect Former Community Members from Harassment Protect viewers from being harassed after leaving a community.
There have been quite a few times, one I know of personally, where a streamer has asked their community to spy on a former community member and screenshot any conversation mentioning the streamer so the streamer could "control" the situation. The streamer then sent their community members into streams the former community member was a part of to spy on them and report back anything said. This is possibly still happening and the person who was being followed has appealed to Twitch, reporting the person involved, multiple times only for nothing…

Disable automatic notifications about new followers for people who never streamed A few minutes ago, I received a notification that a guy named hoss has started to follow me on Twitch.
The suggestion is pretty clear - in order to cope with the issue presented below, by default do not enable email notifications to people who have never streamed.
I have read Reddit post that went pretty viral a couple of days ago about a the very same user with different name variations who somehow IP grabs user profiles.
Here is a link: https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/pck517/randomly_got_this_follower_even_though_i_havent/

Simple way to prevent stream sniping. Essentially this idea comes in three parts.
The first: Allow the streamer to specify for themselves whether their stream can be viewed by "guests" (someone not logged into Twitch).
The second: A user who has been banned should not simply be unable to view/participate in chat. They should not be allowed to view the stream whatsoever.
The last: User banned should be IP Banned from that stream. Meaning taking 30 seconds to make a new account to simply continue with the Stream Sniping/Harassment isn't so simple to do.
Stream Sniping for us Smaller Streamers is a terrible thing. I get…

Time out effect for members with Editor role Edit the effect of Timeouts for members with Editor role to be similar to members with VIP role.
Timing out Editors removes their editor role, and the Streamer has to assign it again. It's similar to when a Streamer times out a Mod and they lose the Mod role. We ask that the Streamer have the only power to remove the Editor role, not by a simple timeout

afk farming Hello, I have been a Twitch user for the past 5ish years. I am genuinely curious how some streamers are allowed to go AFK just about every single day for hours on end and just farm their chat. I didn't come to specifically report any single person but Amouranth is the most popular person I know getting away with this. She starts streaming then eventually makes up an excuse to get off camera and doesn't return for literal hours. Doing this she still brings in easily over 6,000 viewers each time. I am genuinely curious how people like her are…

Friendly Timeouts That don't produce a suspicious activity label on viewers I'm sure I'm not the only streamer that does this. But I have a Tarot card reward in my chat, and one of the possible Tarot cards will mute you for 30 seconds. When I initially made this reward, I was not expecting one of my VIPs to be marked as "Suspicious."
As a result, I'm now worried that people on my channel, or any channel, that uses similar rewards may cause people to be labeled "suspicious" just for playing games on a stream.
My suggestion: Do away with "suspicious activity" on viewers that have only received timeouts for small…

Report names that are incorrectly caught in your filtering process. I have found a username that appears to be available but is blocked within your system due to an error.
The error shown is: "This user name may be offensive and is not allowed."
I have attempted to report this several times since October and have been met with the same policies regarding recycling and name changes when it does not apply to this situation.
If there is one name that is incorrectly being caught in your filter I'd assume other users may have this problem as well. If a username IS available and IS appropriate for use then I…

What username are you trying to use that is getting caught? I can reach out to our team to troubleshoot what's going on with this.

Stop making streamers feel like they need to ban EVERYONE that discusses age. This entire concept is counter productive and makes the chat experience awkward. I understand that streamers do this to prevent kids from being in mature streams but this actually makes this problem worse because now you have a bunch of potential children watching adult streams and they know not to mention their age! What is the logic here?!?! Plus mature adults want to know how old the people are that they're chatting with. It's a very common topic and something that people WANT to know since the beginning of the internet , A/S/L ? Age chat should NOT be discouraged…

Penalize commenters not the Streamer Commenters shouldn't have the power to have a channel flagged or worse, the person who commented should have their account penalized so that the community has a cleaner chat due to less people wanting to have their own account held accountable for their own actions

Could Twitch maybe stop the adverts using transphobic language? So, I get it, today is Women's History Month. I saw the ad on Twitter using the term "womxn" - a term used deliberately to exclude trans women, and one that most trans women - including myself - find incredibly offensive.
If you don't want us on your platform, and if we're not welcome in the Twitch community, there are easier ways to tell us that by publicly invalidating our identity.
Absolutely disgraceful that a company that used to pride itself on promoting an inclusive, safe space for creators is using and promoting such disgusting language.

Ghost Channels Channels that are live 24 hours a day. While sitting on a menu screen, or character select screen.
These same channels maintaining hundreds of viewers staying in chat. Mostly for a reward from the game that is being broadcasted.
Why is this even allowed?

Can someone logically explain why we don’t celebrate white indigenous peoples day? How do we bring people together if there’s discrimination I and many others would like to know when you plan to celebrate indigenous white peoples day?
I’m also making you aware there’s Twitch streamer’s/partners out there with millions of views and subscribers that laugh and ridicule anyone who dares to ask a simple question yet gloat about the fact Twitch have acknowledged and celebrate Indigenous Latinos and every other community apart from the white community.
The racist Latino was so proud to let me know they worked in Silicon Valley and was able to influence this even more.
Surely this will only cause more division, not bring people together…
