    @TwitchSupport need password reseting help

  • bagmask2 bagmask 🍑 (@bagmask2) reported

    @bokoen3 @large_pain @Helovesdiorr Phone dont work i literally watching it on twitch with random ****** in the chat

  • TheAnnarf Annarf 🇨🇦 (@TheAnnarf) reported

    @MayChanOfficial @Twitch The first I heard of it was also it being removed, I've seen no comments to it prior. There's so many more things Twitch should be doing...it feels like an attempt to appease people so they can say they did something, while ignoring the important issues.

  • GregoryLovesMen Greg (@GregoryLovesMen) reported

    @ylkum_mukly I mainly rely on the recommendations because I’m too lazy to sign in. Which is stupid because I barely see the people I want to see on my feed but instead twitch highlight channel that steal people’s content

  • miniyodadude BLM | Mini (@miniyodadude) reported

    Twitch randomly throwing in ads is the worst thing ever

  • caitlinwezzy caitlin (@caitlinwezzy) reported

    @llamaspwn Off stream I've tried GeForce experience but it doesn't work. So I have no idea what else to do. If I save my clips from twitch and post them they look terrible

  • niccaloo Nico (@niccaloo) reported

    My computer crash SORRY for those who were watching my stream. Soon as I restart my computer I’ll be back on! 😬 #twitch

  • SuperMegaMimi SuperMegaMimi (@SuperMegaMimi) reported

    @stevenspohn While I agree with this, and hope it will bring awareness to the bad usages, but blind pt has no bad connotation, it’s simply using the secondary definition of the word. Why would twitch not do more to make their platform more accessible rather than make an issue out of nothing?

  • SuperMegaMimi SuperMegaMimi (@SuperMegaMimi) reported

    @aureylian @zordbasecommand Repurposing this guys words and tweets to serve the marketing purposes of twitch I feel is immoral. This I think will have a net negative outcome for the disabled community and instead of fixing the issue, something hollow and divisive was done instead.

  • epicofalexander stream pulse: sunrise (@epicofalexander) reported

    dont remember how much ive posted about this but im gonna be doing alarm clock prog for 5.4 savage, 12hrs/day starting as soon as servers go live monday night, and i'll be trying to stream all of it 🤪 tune in to my twitch if you cannn

  • NickRGB Nick (@NickRGB) reported

    @PhoolishWarlock @MacieJayGaming Also, while it’s strongly a US problem and you don’t have to here, there are many counties that make DJs pay a license to be able to do so. DJs also legally have to purchase the tracks they use, and the venues in US pay the fee. Doubt twitch wants any real responsibility lmao.

  • RatkingNito Nito🔞 (@RatkingNito) reported

    Twitch getting rid of the term “blind playthrough” but not implementing any actual new features to help visually impaired people use their website is just a testament to how much that website sucks

  • MemeSmuggler Joey 🧙‍♂️ (@MemeSmuggler) reported

    @RAD_lSH @kleeklu Alas adblocker does not work on a smart TV app or a game console app , i kind of have to pay up if i want to watch ad free on my good screen. I have switched to subbing on patreon instead of subbing through the platform though, after i found out twitch and others take a whole 50%

  • CHET_HAWK CHET HAWK (@CHET_HAWK) reported

    “Channel surfing” through Twitch on mobile is brutal. That immediate 30-second ad is terrible. They should allow us 15-30 seconds to see if we like the content, and then run the ad if we decide to stay. In the current state I’m really discouraged from exploring new streams.

  • TheScalliwag Scalli (@TheScalliwag) reported

    @saltydkdan My equipment at the moment is not great but I got an okay microphone and I’m saving up for a good pc. I recently got twitch affiliate so that’s helping me work to getting said pc. It isn’t easy just to pay for all of the things you need to make content out of your pocket

  • SteelyJGaming SteelyJames (@SteelyJGaming) reported

    Hey guys no stream today. I know I had said it was possible but I have to get up at 3am tomorrow for work. I'll keep you posted on when I will do a make up stream #twitch #Livestream

  • AmberSonata Amber Sonata // $8 OnlyFans / Top 6% :3 (@AmberSonata) reported

    Aaaaaa guys I'm a twitch affiliate now and idk what to make my emote, help ;-;

  • Rick_Gumshoe Punished Gumshoe (@Rick_Gumshoe) reported

    You are getting flak for **** like -preroll *enforced* ads that drive people away or encourage adblockers to constantly update their scripts -DMCA abuses that you're absolutely unprepared to handle -still having mod favoritism and yet you "fix" a tag for being "ableist" @Twitch

  • CalledSyn Syn o.O (@CalledSyn) reported

    @revealingmuch to me it very much feels like taking the easy way out - Twitch has done it before, cosmetically glossing over real issues with the cheapest fix available. This was not an issue until Twitch made it one, yet severe accessibility issues pointed out for years are again ignored.

  • SaunbyJS Ho Ho Ho Boy (@SaunbyJS) reported

    Twitch friends, now I'm affiliate I'm beginning to think about the cash side of things so I have a question to any UK based streamer, how do you work filing your tax if you have a full time job? I've seen some stuff about self assessment forms and some self employed stuff?

  • Snazzykins Snazzy (@Snazzykins) reported

    @RadiationGhoul Also, Twitter in general is a terrible place to argue points that need nuance. You can absolutely throw some DMs at me either on here, Twitch or Discord if you want to talk about these in greater detail.

  • NaoriaWrites [Nao] (@NaoriaWrites) reported

    @TwitchSupport Hello dear Sirs, I've been having trouble since THIS MORNING with @5uppps's stream, having Error#2000. Tried everything, nothing works. It's the ONLY stream it does that. Just randomly gets Error#2000 after max 5 min watching when I get lucky and have it.

  • ChrisCuhhh 6’5 On The TL (@ChrisCuhhh) reported

    Trying to build a twitch following is a lot of work but I actually enjoy it a lot

  • Stribor1 Stribor (@Stribor1) reported

    @aureylian Happy to see twitch has removed a sensible tag based on hundred year old language instead of doing anything to actually help visually impaired people. Ban the word read as well, illiterate and dyslexic people might get offended. Dogshit take.

  • DfStealth Stealth (@DfStealth) reported

    @Capt_Nill_Skill That could be something with obs or whatever software you run, i had a couple twitch streamers that called in service issues and it ended up being an issue with streamlabs itself

  • Sin4legend Sin4legend #RAZERSTREAMER (@Sin4legend) reported

    Hey, Sinners. I will not be streaming tonight but I hope you enjoyed today’s stream. I have to go back to work tomorrow so I have to go to bed early lol. My new streaming schedule is on my Twitch channel!

  • audiodescgames Matt the Audio Describer (@audiodescgames) reported

    @DreamingQueenie @gothicqueen95 @Twitch So a blind playthrough is when someone plays a video game with no prior knowledge of it. The streaming service Twitch decided to ban the use of the term because they deemed it offensive to blind people. But at the same time they're not working on making the site more accessible.

  • PrettykittyMari not Marianne (@PrettykittyMari) reported

    I wish Twitch focused more on things that actually help streamers instead of further limiting them :/

  • GilapagosJones Gilapagos Jones (@GilapagosJones) reported

    @Twitch @TwitchSupport Still no answer on when you’re going to free up idle accounts? Does @Twitch know its own policies when it comes to this? Or are you just saying 6 months to avoid doing the work?

  • EvB324 Evan Baietto (@EvB324) reported

    Twitch might have the worst mobile app known to man
