  1. There are a host of problems on Twitch and I feel as though this idea could be a solution to some of the bigger ones.

    I suggest giving streamers the option to only allow accounts with 2fa to access their channel. Make it an option for the individual streamer and make it toggleable.

    In order for this to work, Twitch must do more than just “not allow the user to use chat.” Twitch needs to stop them from accessing the streamer’s channel all together. The same needs to be done for users who are banned/blocked but that is a whole…

  2. Since the mod view is generally a small player it would be nice to add a panel style extension to the mod view which can be dragged and dropped on to the mod view.

    This would allow mods to use third party tools without having to open another browser tab. They can stay focused on chat and moderating without switching back and forth.

  3. Many streamers have added personal information as a blocked term, and have since removed it. All this private information is shown to all of their moderators. Hence allowing every moderator to know more than they should. Yes there is a way to make a blocked term private, but deleting these terms still shows the blocked terms to all moderators, new and old.

    There should be a way for the streamer to hide these actions from the moderators, or have a way to delete them. If people don't want the action to be seen as if it didn't happen, then allow…

  4. After a certain amount of time (seems random at this point), certain heavily used emotes will disappear out of the channel emotes section.

    The only way I know how to fix it is to refresh the entire page. Obviously being a mod I could miss bad actors, so I end up duplicating the tab to be safe.

    I know this bug affects other moderators as well, so it isn't just limited to my system.

  5. Please add a "Create Clip" - button to mod view. Mods also like to create clips.

  6. I believe the pinned message in the chat could be more visually prominent. Currently, it often goes unnoticed in busier chats.

    Options such as a different color, visual emphasis, or even positioning it right below the player would greatly help in communicating important announcements, rules, and channel information.

    This would make things easier for both streamers and moderation, especially on large channels and during live streams with a high volume of messages.

  7. Hey there, in our chat earlier today we had to time someone out for 10 mins. One of our mods marked them as Suspicious User so that it'd be clear when they're back from time-out and to give that a bit more attention from the mods in chat.
    However can it be an option for the streamer to have the giant visual orange highlight be turned off? It happens sometimes where the streamer is actively trying to avoid them still after a time-out and it's better to be used as a mods-only highlight. With maybe a small icon or something…

  8. Twitch is a global platform where streamers and moderators from different countries can collaborate and grow together.
    I have moderated foreign channels that later connected with Twitch Italy, but language differences often created barriers, limiting interaction and community engagement.
    Breaking these barriers is key to fostering true global connection, where every viewer can actively participate regardless of language. I propose the integration of AI and/or real-time translation tools to enable.
    Live subtitle translation in multiple languages, allowing international audiences to follow streams without language barriers.
    An in-chat “Translate” button to instantly translate individual messages or the entire chat, while keeping…

  9. I've been for the first time on a channel where I discovered days later that the supposed moderator was an AI (it had a real name, and was talking like a human).

    I've legal problems with that because I was never aware anyware that my text in the chat was read and used by an AI. I never agreed to that.

    AI mods should have an "AI logo" or there should be a text somewere saying "this moderator is an AI, by talking in the chat you agree to have your text used" or something like that.

  10. Making pinned messages editable could be a useful feature. For example, a moderator might pin an explanation and later notice a mistake. Currently, this means the message must be unpinned, corrected, and then pinned again.

    One way to solve this would be to allow the person who pinned the message to always be able to edit it. Alternatively, it could be made so that everyone — the streamer and all moderators — can edit the message.

  11. Allow moderators to view chat history of suspended accounts

    It is only making it harder for moderators when Twitch refuses to show chat history, saying that the account has been suspended.

  12. Dear Twitch Support Team,

    I am writing to formally report a streamer melaniejonas who is engaging in artificial viewership manipulation by using a significant number of bots in their streams. This individual maintains an average viewership of around 90 viewers, but in reality, only about 10 real people are watching. The rest are artificially generated bots, some of which are high-quality enough to appear in the viewer list.

    Additionally, this streamer uses their fake statistics to belittle and mock smaller streamers. They claim they have never applied for partnership but openly state that when they do, they will ridicule smaller…

  13. I realize that there is a lot of noise on Reddit and from AIPAC funded folks (Torres) vis-a-vis Hasan. I just want to say that you are absolutely doing the right thing by continuing not to touch him. People are stretching really hard to silence one of the loudest pro Palestine voices on the internet instead of trying to stop a genocide. In this sense, Twitch has unironically acted as one of the bravest media outlets by allowing actual free speech that explains the history of the “conflict” and humanizes the people currently being genocided. This is moral courage. Thank…

  16. I am a Mod in a couple of channels and I do take moderation very seriously. I also try to keep Twitch a safe place, as much as possible.

    What happened:
    A streamer I mod for was the victim of insults and hateful speech yesterday (June the 11th 2024). The perpetrator was reported by myself and other Mods of the victim. The insults/speech were done during the perpetrators stream. They were live at the same time as the victim. (no VOD)

    In less than a minute after the report, I have already received an answer from Twitch, that no violation…

  17. With the follower lists now being viewable to the streamer only, it would be more useful if the links on the username opens the UserCard instead of going to that user's channel. This would make investigation of suspicious users by the streamer more practical. If the intention is to go to the channel, that would still be possible from the usercard after it is opened. Would also make it easier to use if each user didn't take up so much screen space.

  18. As a Twitch user and streamer that is also a moderator for 15+ channels, I would love to have quick access from the main Twitch page or even the dropdown when I click on my icon in the top right corner, it directs me to a page that has the list of streamers that I mod for. Even something similar to the look of the Twitch Teams page where its a list of streamers, with the streamers that are live, at the top of the list.

  19. So i get bullied/harrased while streaming, usernames are the main thing attacking me or friends with really messed up stuff. It is so bad that i have to stop my game and report them and block them.

    My idea is, can we please have a feature that says you can only watch this streamer if you are a follower. Not the you can't type anything in the chat ****. Or even have it as a 30 seconds countdown that if the person doesnt follow your stream in that amount of time, they get black screened and a pop up that…

  20. Please stop the e-thots and e-whores meta. Provide meaningful moderation and end the sexual themes. Be a grown adult and realize what you're doing is wrong for both company image and customer views of the company.
