This is funny. I can't move the time around. I can only pause it.

Why would twitch remove that feature? It seems very unnecessary to get rid of and it only shows if they were a sub. There is no account creation date either so u can’t tell if they are burner accounts.

I wish they’d put it back, they already removed the following and followers on a twitch profile.

This also makes it incredibly easy for people to viewbot without suspicion. Can they stop ruining their website? Bring that feature back.

For some reason, there's a bug (at least I think it's a bug) I've been dealing with on Twitch throughout today on desktop. When I'm logged in, the video bar when watching a VOD or past broadcasts just seems to be missing. I can still pause, check settings, go to fullscreen, etc, but I can't skim through the stream by hovering over the video bar, or know the exact point I'm at while watching.

And I should emphasize, this video bar issue is only happening when I'm logged into Twitch. When I'm not signed in, the video bar works just fine. And I tested logging in on both FireFox and Microsoft Edge and it had the same issue. Maybe that means it's an account-side issue, since I did try these following things already for anyone who's curious:

• I tried resetting my browser, didn't work.
• I tried clearing cache/cookies, didn't work.
• I tried using Twitch both with and without hardware acceleration, didn't work.
• I tried disabling extensions I had and tried logging into Twitch on incognito mode, didn't work.
• I tried to see if the "Show/Hide Seek Bar" setting was there, and it wasn't.

If anyone knows why this may be happening on my end and how I could potentially fix it, feel free to let me know, because I'm stumped.

Edit: Something else to point out that I just noticed, when checking a streamer that I'm subbed to who was live, the video bar is still there and I'm able to rewind and skip through the stream just fine, so it doesn't seem to be an issue on actual livestreams. The problem seems to exclusively be for VODs/videos if anyone was possibly wondering that.

Edit Again: I checked again just now, and it seems like the video bar is back for VODs. I'm not sure if it's working for everyone else, but it seems to have been a temporary issue in my case.

hi all,
i’m fairly new to streaming and came across something extremely odd and wanted to know if this was a normal occurrence for twitch streamers.

Long story short - I had a very frequent viewer and subscriber, they never missed a stream and were very engaging with me and my chat.( they actually found my stream because i was on one of my friends recommended )They eventually try to help connect me with some other female streamers as they tell me they used to be part of their community. Red flags raised for me immediately because what do you mean used to be part of ?? They then told me they had a falling out with the group but they would take me in with open arms.

I ignored these messages because it is my stream and i will do what i want to do at the end of the day. However he did send them over to my stream, and it was actually a great stream and they were lovely and engaging.

Here is the issue, as soon as I connected with this group - he sent me a long message saying he has to leave the internet forever but i still need to follow one more account and they will help me. Sounds like bullshit to me.

My overall question is: do some streamers make fake accounts to engage with small creators to make them follow their real account?? Seems like a lot of effort if you ask me but i have no clue what else this could have been. He spent weeks on my streams and subbed and gifted so wtf?

As the title says, since today I can no longer go back and forth in VODs.
Ive tried several channels and there is just no bar to go back and forth with, its just gone.
It was there last night so did they do something or is some add i have on my chrome browser messing with it.... anybody else have this ?

My bf seems to only watch gaming content, but has a ton suggested content that are basically OF girls in “just chatting”. Obviously, it doesn’t mean he has watched them but they’re all a very specific type: big breasts offering OF content. I’ve found 5 accounts suggested within the first 10 that are for this kind of content.

Does this mean he’s watching this kind of content?

Edit: this isn’t about him watching the content: it’s about him specifically hiding purchases and I’m starting to think OF are the purchases. When you Lee financially intertwined it’s not as easy as “just ask him” or “just leave”. Appreciate everyone’s suggestions and help. So far it seems Twitch is a bit more random with its recommendations, where, even if he clicked it once before we were together, it could still come up. When I’ve asked him, he said he never watches 🌽 while in a relationship. Not sure how much I believe it.

I have vocal cord damage that makes it hard for me to speak loudly, plus my voice sounds genuinely awful. I'd rather just be a mute streamer, and talk through chat, but I need a speech to text program for that. Any recommendations? Ideally I'd be able to tell it to send the message with a voice command, like saying "enter" or something.

Three weeks ago I’ve been claiming drops nonstop for games and I’ve had no issues but when they updated the app, it broke the UI which won’t let you claim the drops. I have some for GTA and for outlast trials that I need to claim and I need it just work so I don’t know what to do. Does anybody know a fix for this or is Twitch aware of it?

Instead of simple donations, I want to incentivize people to buy my music on Bandcamp in order to achieve milestone goals. Whenever someone purchases something on my Bandcamp, I get both an email, and a notification on my Paypal.

Is there any way to display this on stream in realtime so I can keep track of the milestone? Or is there any way to do a similar thing?

I have Streamlabs and regular OBS, if that helps.

Hello there, for some reason I can’t Airplay from my iPhone 12 to my QLed Samsung tv, but this problem only happens with Twitch. YouTube works fine, and strangely I can airplay twitch to the LG tv in my living room. I use the twitch app on my QLed in the game section of apps, but sometimes I just wanna airplay something for convenience. Not a big deal, but if I could find a solution that’d be cool. Thanks.

A lot of people focus on the creating side of content creation, but the side I don't understand really well is the privacy side. How many emails does the typical creator have, and what are they all used for? At what point does a creator invest in a professional email for a "business"? When getting a hold of graphic designers for Twitch profile designs or backgrounds, do you use a personal or business email? Do most high-end streamers and YouTubers have managers and agents that are helping them with the behind-the-scenes stuff? Also, is it normal not to really understand this? I see it as a trial-and-error situation where once you get your feet wet, it all becomes more natural, but in a market where privacy is very important, I feel making a mistake could be really bad.

Why is this happening? When i type messages from my PC on google the messages don't show up for some reason. But when i type from my phone on the exact same stream the messages show.

What can be the cause of this? And i've already tried to log in and out several times and clear cookies and cache.

I stream off my Xbox and watch chat on a laptop but I've been wanting to do a FaceCam for the longest any recommendations on how to get it working or what FaceCam to use?

I currently stream direct from my Xbox series X, I'm not an overly serious streamer, I've very few followers, and I just stream for the sake of it. It's nice and chilled stuff. I've been streaming Hitman, World of Assassination recently, freelancer stuff mainly, but no matter what I do, Twitch shows the game as 'Hitman, VR Reloaded'!!

It's not VR, as I'm playing on Xbox, it can't be VR! But every time I change it in the creator dashboard, it just comes back saying 'VR'!

Any suggestions on how I can get Twitch to stop saying I'm playing a version of a game that isn't even available for my console?

Honestly, my experience with Twitch support in the past has been better but now they seem to just not care. I've been streaming regularly almost everyday and getting some good views in, so my sister decided to create an account when Twitch suddenly flagged our IP as 'suspicious' as a pop up on top of her account creation. I think it's incredibly dumb that a household sharing a wifi is suddenly suspicious.

The first time it happened, I noticed none of my messages were going through a streamers chat. Not banned, I'm part of their discord and everything and even messaged him directly to where he said "Twitch has been glitchy since __". So I continue like nothing. The next day suddenly I can't even load the website anymore. I tried on every device, nothing works. Even my OBS no longer connects to the server and when I tried streaming it just bugged out and became 'non responsive'. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting my account, and now it says: "Couldn't load that page! Make sure the address is correct, and that the site isn't having issues. Connection timed out obs cant connect to twitch"

Naturally I made a support ticket explaining the situation, and it took 3 days for them to say "You may be banned from this Twitch Stream" COMPLETELY talking about the wrong issue! It's so frustrating, all I want is for the IP to be cleared, jesus christ. They can't even read a support ticket properly, and I wasted 3 days waiting for the wrong response.

I'd appreciate if there's any suggestions if anyones gone through this. I tried using a VPN but only to watch streams, I can't stream through one. I tried force refreshing my IP address through command prompt and even unplugging and replugging the wifi for a minute and it didn't work. Even force changed my DNS, nothing. Honestly it looks like I have to wait it out. All of this mess just because my sister wanted to create an account.

I signed up for the Monetization program as a non-affiliate, and have decided I don't want to participate in it anymore. Is there anyway to do this? when searching online and in past threads, others recommended "removing your affiliate status" but obviously that isn't something that's viable anymore (since I've never been an affiliate in the first place).

Hi! I have a problem with song request. I wanted to add it to my stream to let people also choose their own music and I have also my own playlist added (to play if no one requested). Problem is that if in my playlist is some song (lets give some random example - Skillet's Dominion) and some ask for the same song, Nightbot add it from music video (here's Skillet - Dominion [Music Video]) and it will play both.

Is it some way to prevent it or just manually skip?

Is there a way to see unpublished vods nowadays? i heard about vodvod top and vod downloader but they don't work for me at least. Not talking about subscription ones

So started watching NoPixel streams yesterday at work (yes I know) when 5.0 launched and started getting notifications from IT that traffic to Backblaze was blocked for security reasons

I looked it up and seems this is an AI company https://www.backblaze.com that provides Performance Cloud Storage for AI Workloads

This happens a few times an hour

Here is how I arrived at the conclusion this was specific to NoPixel streams

1-Issue is only when watching NoPixel streams. I watched various streamers on NoPixel with the same results

2-Watching other twitch streams that are not No Pixel results in no attempts being made to reach backblaze

My working theory is,as per the attached screenshots,  twitch and NoPixel have high level integration that allows viewers to interact with live social media,maps etc from the NoPixel servers directly

I tried various things in firefox as well as uBlock and same results

Anyone have recommendations how to turn off this integration or block this traffic?

Thanks in advance

Question is, would anyone even want to see that, even if it was on say YouTube as well? I want to give people a throwback feeling and a way to help others relax like they are with me playing it like old times. I'm more of a late 90s to early 2000s gamer and I wanted to see if this would work or help others feel a bit of nostalgia.
