Use other tools for verification checks instead of the known bad actor of Persona 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…

Option to Restrict Streams to Logged-In Viewers Only (Swatting Prevention) 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…

flashing emote filter A setting that would allow a user or streamer with epilepsy or light sensitivity to block or disable the animations for emotes that strobe or flash rapidly in their chat. Emotes like steaks19Crazypotato may be merely annoying when one or two are posted but become painful (and dangerous) when spammed.

Key requests from dead accounts I recently received several emails, spam typically, but identifying as Twitch streamers, requesting keys for a newly released game of mine on Steam. As a indie developer I noticed, checked and corresponded, with this apparent Sex Trafficking Network, since I presume, after they made all kinds of childish claims, where actual business is concerned. One was a COD streamer from 7 years ago, I told him my game, a visual novel isn't for him and got a one-line email response that yes, it is for him. Nothing in the world passes as such but a Ring of Pedophiles kidnapping children,…

Better Report Feature for Harassment There should be a different reporting feature for harassment/abuse that is separate from the normal chat "report" feature.
When someone has been making alt accounts daily for months to harass a streamer, the current report tool function simply gets the alt account banned, but that doesn't stop the harassment from continuing on the next new account.
There should be a dedicated streamer safety staff and reporting mechanism for streamers/mods to be able to communicate what they are experiencing and list out the facts and all associated accounts, so that Twitch can actually do something (like an IP ban) to prevent…

Option to add more than one 2FA Security Key Platforms often allow more than one 2FA security key in the case that one gets lost (example Google). I can only add one security key to my Twitch account, but I'd like to add a second in the case that I lose it. As Yubico describes it, it's like having more than one house key just in case you lose your main one.
I wouldn't recommend having a maximum amount of security keys possible to add. I'd like to see a bare minimum of having two, preferably three if you need a maximum.
I'm currently starting out with linking two…

Accountability For the viewers Give content creators the ability to see user names of all users viewing live streams! I don't have a lot of viewer but I do get a lot of harassment, and it is connected to the viewers in my community! Why should viewers get complete anonymity and content creators are completely vulnerable? Seems more safe if it's equal that way there is accountability. They get an inside look into our lives and we can't even see their username unless they type in chat, unless I'm missing something then please do enlighten me!

Doxxing Needs to Be Handled Differently As of January 17th of 2025, I had been doxxed live on my stream, the user having mu street address as their username, then saying the following: "Hello [full legal name] of [my full legal address, including state and zip] whos phone number is [my phone number]." Before my moderator and I were able to ban and block this user, they followed me so my street address would stay on the screen.
The moderator that was there that night reported this individual as soon as they realized this was my private information. They got a default response saying the report…

allow whispers turned off fully It makes no sense to me why we need BTTV to turn the whispers off. I don't like them anymore and want the ability to turn it off fully. I've had people mess with me on them but I can only imagine how some other streamers get harassed with no ability to even disable the thing properly. Gives me anxiety. When you turn it off on BTTV the number still pops up

Send URL's posted in chat to automod queue. Send URL's posted in chat to automod queue.
The most spam I get on twitch is bot spam from those accounts telling you about "cheap viewers" and posting a link. This would prevent the chat from being shown at all, and then you could confirm and remove.
Yes, there is an option to prevent links - but this is not helpful for those who want to allow viewers to post links. I don't want to make everyone a VIP. I want to allow my viewers to post links without having to micromanage them by making sure EVERYONE that watches my…

Preventing Burner Account harrassment I've been getting bothered by burner accounts that follow me and use the points to spam their username, which is usually outrageously explicit, before I can manage to ban them.
A solution I think would be nice would be to add an extra layer in verification to add the option of requiring an account be of a certain age for followers/ first time chatters IN ADDITION to the email/phone number verification. Instead of verified email OR an account older than (x), verified email AND an account older than (x). In addition from preventing chatting, we should prevent following AND ANY…

better content security and end-user control over extension-loading A security incident with my account recently convinces me twitch is very vulnerable to cross-site scripting. I therefore would like to constructively suggest:
motivating and applying proper content security policies to filter out untrusted 3th party dependencies; these seem to be completely missing right now?
giving the end user, the viewer, more control over which extensions are loaded on a stream independent of the streamer's configuration... i want to block all extensions from now on, but i can't easily?
maybe doing the threat modelling to exclude all CSRF related threats if not already done
Where my proof is limited my…

Safety link from the homepage dropdown menu goes to appeals site instead of safety site The Account icon dropdown menu link for the Safety Center goes to appeals.twitch.tv instead of the Safety Center. I found my way here through the sidebar link in the Creator Dashboard.

Enable 'ss06' for parts where Twitch uses the font Roobert While https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/933812-safety/suggestions/45174628-default-font-is-causing-impersonation-problems exists, it is primarily for changing the font entirely. This suggestion is about enabling 'ss06' for Roobert instead. This allows the user to distinguish lowercase L and uppercase I much easier as the lowercase L would have a spur.

Subject: Suspension Appeal Submission Content: Dear Twitch Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to submit an app Subject: Enhancing Streamer Safety through Raid Restrictions
Feedback:
I propose implementing restrictions on Twitch raids to enhance streamer safety. Currently, any individual with their Twitch chat can initiate a raid towards any streamer by using the command @streamer. However, I believe it would be more beneficial to set a minimum threshold of 10 or more viewers for a raid to be successful. This ensures that the raid is more likely to be positive and engaging for the streamer.The rationale behind this suggestion is to mitigate potential negative impacts of raids initiated by a single viewer. A raid involving a…

Time to end unaffordable censorship No more censorship of nudity or sexual content. It's too expensive and when hundreds of Twitch staff lose their jobs it is no longer an affordable priority. Just say no to finger wagging and beat downs over bare breasts.

Electroshock and Other Torture Electroshock is really macabre for channel content. It can also be dangerous. In my opinion, TOS should discourage electroshock for channel content, especially when streamers may feel pressured into these harmful activities by viewers. It's just not worth it. It definitely turns me off to hear streamers scream from the discomfort. There must be some pretty sick viewers out there to get their kicks out of causing streamers pain, especially the macabre pain of electroshock. The only way I can see to handle this is to modify TOS for the safety of the streamers. Shock collars made for animals may…

Require phone verification to stream to combat Phishing scams and illegal activities We currently have phone verification to message other people.
However we don't have phone verification for accounts to stream.
I've seen thousands of burner streams that can make new accounts in minutes so they can stream phishing scams and other illegal behavior, sometimes it can take hours to maybe Twitch to do something about it, and if they do they can make a new account in minutes.I've personally flagged over a thousand of these accounts (I have the lists to prove it)
Some of these accounts I've reported with the game rules specifically that RWT isn't allowed but got…2 votes -
authentication Dear support, I can't get the authentication code for my account to stream via iphone. I enter my phone number, but it always says "Error" "Enter a valid number." I enter my number correctly without any errors, but your program doesn't accept it, and I can't start streaming.

Acting Innocent This person named daypt is acting innocent but he is devil inside just for bragging rights. I have no control over those people but himself from camping first on it is favourite streamer followed by the vip treatment without noticing. Is there a way to check for anything you might needed to double check just for a serious business but daypt is keeping hacking with positivity smile.
