As a creator, while this hasn't been rolled out to my channel yet, I **DO NOT** want my content to be included! I realize that it can be disabled, but it certainly should not be enabled by default if deployed (and, again, please remove it without wasting more time and money on the feature!)
I understand that this is in early, limited testing, but I had the following experience as a viewer yesterday while watching a streamer who was playing and chatting on a quad team (all streamers):
One player had the feature enabled and was reading the summaries to the other players (all of whom _did not_ have the feature enabled or available). Naturally, they were all quite confused. Furthermore, they were concerned with: the inaccuracies (e.g. stating one player was 8hrs into their stream when they had _just_ started their stream); the fact that it was summarizing the discussions of all the players who were participating and audible on the one streamer's stream without their knowledge or consent; the lack of control over what content the summary was including; and the concern that is was going to highlight minor complains about the particular game, resulting in incorrect assumptions by viewers, the game developers, and partners!
These are all **MAJOR** issues and are not something the streamers or their mods can address!

As an IT admin & web developer, this was incredibly shortsighted when I signed up for Twitch and started streaming years ago. I can't believe it's been five years since _this suggestion_ was posted and nearly EIGHT(?!) years since the linked "see also" suggestion on the same topic.
SMS verification _should not_ be required to configure 2FA if email has already been verified. There is zero other accountability or actual verification benefit in doing so. Furthermore, I see constant and all-too-frequent support questions in various public forums (here, reddit, mastodon, etc.) from users who have switched phones, forgotten to to update their mobile number in Twitch, and are forever locked out of their account. This is bad for regular users, but even worse for established streamers. And that's not even including the number of users who are just plain not receiving the verification codes via SMS!
Last, and actually least in this case, I am US-based and live in an area that _still_ does not have reliable cellular service, so I have not been able to verify my phone after all these years of streaming. I'm not trying to get affiliate/partner, so I'm not worried, but I'd rather there were other verification methods, especially: voice calls (even financial institutions do this!), a small credit card payment fee (similar to those required to sell apps on the Google Play store and such), or even physical address verification via the postal service!
