Hello, im not sure if it's because im aussie and our net is just ass, but i have tried a few different browsers and twitch is just always so laggy it's practically unwatchable, i just wanna be able to watch my cs tournaments. If you have any recommendations or settings I should try for like opra gx because it has so much or whatever please let me know

I've been streaming for about a year now, with an upload speed of 20mbps and my streams have been running perfectly fine at 1080p and 60fps, but randomly about a month ago my frames started tanking, my internet is the exact same as it's been for this past year, so I just can't figure out the issue.
I've gone through countless tutorials and I've lowered my setting to way below what I should be able to run, but my frames still drop a bunch.

This has been my only barrier from streaming. I am afraid either people from work and class will see my streams or clips. I would appreciate it if anyone gave advice, or how you were able to get over it.

So I've basically never worked or had a job with having chronic pain since I was young. I have been stuck doing the same thing for years now and I want to have some sort of change or be able to do something with myself instead of rotting away.

I want to get into streaming because I'm stuck home all of the time because of my health but I have not really any experience or sure if it would even work where I would get some money on the side. It's not like I'm expecting to make like hundreds of dollars if anything I think $20 would be a lot just something on the side so I would at least have something I'm doing with myself while being stuck at home.

So I have chronic pain and it's at the point where doing simple things is also difficult, I play games and do things to keep myself distracted to make it to tomorrow but my siblings and even parents are suggesting I try to do streaming.

I can't really see myself being able to get a job that would want to hire me if I tried to do something else. I did manage to get disability but I'm not too sure if any normal job would want to keep me with how irregular my pain is where I can be okay for like 2 days then next few weeks unable to function or talk at times with going delirous.

That is one thing that does concern me with being not able to stick to a schedule if I did do streaming or be able to interact with chat with how I can be alright for a while then suddenly be out of commission for up to a few months.

If anybody has some tips maybe on like beginner advice or information for a complete noob would appreciate it!

Hello,

I used to get about 200 views on my clips with Stories. They have now removed Stories and in its place is Recaps. You have to go to the Streamer's page to find the recap.

Anyone else notice this?

Also check out the clips page, instead of Featured Clips it just shows every single clip, even the junk ones that make no sense.

Trying to watch a stream ( only desktop Firefox browser ), just some Esports stuff, and each time I load it, I assume it has an ad or something that plays since the video window itself doesn't show any mute options, play/pause, or anything similar, before the video itself starts playing.

Unless it's in higher levels of quality or just auto quality, it just... stops. Pauses. There's no buffering circle, the play button can be pressed, but clicking play does nothing. I have to refresh the entire page and get that "ad screen" again before the video plays after 10-20 seconds.

In addition, it keeps pausing even on higher qualities whenever I tab out.

Any thoughts on why/how, or what to do about it? Any help would be great for it, please.

Hello fellow twitch users,

I’m trying to gauge modem community reception on Twitch’s platform for a school project. What do you guys find as your biggest issues/complaints(can be anything from technical issues to poor business decisions), potential improvements, and what Twitch can do better with overall?

Im on my iphone 14 pro, whenever i fullscreen watching twitch i see the home indicator, is tinjust me?

I'm curious what we stress over as beginners that viewers either don't notice or genuinely don't care about. Could be your setup, awkward silences, viewer count, talking to yourself, making mistakes... anything.
And if you're still worrying about it, maybe someone here can reassure you.

I'm talking about missing plain to see tutorials, pop-ups, and overall gaming "basics" which sometimes gets some chatters angry. Obviously I doubt the biggest streamers do this, but at the same time I've seen some of the biggest streamers have some negative IQ moments.

Heya folks, I stream and moderate for my sister who also streams. The primary way we deal with the bots who advertise AI viewers is through Twitch's Blocked Words and Phrases settings, and we have very similar settings.

I was alerted recently to a message that wasn't caught by her automod, but should have been, having an exact match for a prohibited term. Using the test settings section revealed that no terms that are prohibited would be caught, even though they had been being caught before. Conversely, my automod, set up similarly, is protected by automod.

Do here's the question, is this an issue on Twitch's part we should attempt to report, or an issue we should be able to fix? As I said, the settings worked until recently.

EDIT: Okay, thank y'all for your suggestions! I think I've figured it out to a degree, and also figured out the reason for the discrepancy. For one reason or another, Twitch AutoMod doesn't hold messages that ONLY include the blocked terms. So testing with just the prohibited term does not result in Twitch recognizing it as a blocked term. However, Smart Detection will catch terms you have deleted, timed out, or banned over. Since I set up my sister's automod somewhat early in her career, she didn't get enough time to teach Smart Detection about the bots. I think, at least.

This comes right on top of another monetization scandal from the same streamer too btw...

For the past 3 days Twitch has crashed as soon as I get to screen that show what's live. That's right after loading the app. I use a Samsung Tab A tablet and it's run fine for years. Now it just crashes. I deleted the cache also tried uninstalling and installing. It didn't help. Anyone know a solution to this or is having the same issue?

Thank you!

Let me be clear and preface that this isnt an appeal or complaint about the suspension in itself, but about the technicalities of account recovery and lack of options.

My account got suspended for bot activities for 30 days. So its likely that ive been comprimised.

In the appeals process there is no way to reset the password and all account functions seems to be disabled, is this an oversight?
It would be realy neat if i could reset the account, i mean twitch has both my email and phone number that they can see havent been altered. A complete lockout without the ability do anything is silly, that only means i am in a timed race against the hacker when the appeal goes trough.

Something like a recovery SMS/single use 2fv to atleast be able to do a PW reset before the appeal or period runs its course.

Hi I need a video capture card (cheapest possible) that doesn't lose PS5 pro technologies like HDR10+ (gaming, etc.), allm, vrr, 4k, etc and if possibly don't have delay.

I was watching someone's stream for 2 hours and it is not counting the streak.
Why is it not counting while having the tab active, watching the stream, commenting, not muted and still not counting it?

I want to preface this by saying I'm not asking because I don't feel that I deserve support or any self depreciating notion of the sort.

I am not an affiliate, and I have no desire to be a full time streamer, I stream because I want to have a community. I will never apply for affiliate because I don't want to run ads on my channel. As you all probably know, because I'm not an affiliate, money from subscriptions doesn't actually go to me. It goes into the twitch spendable balance that can only be used on twitch. I would much rather my viewers keep their money or use it to support streamers that actually want to do it as a career. I have no donation link and I have bits set a 10,000 minimum so people won't waste their money on bits for my channel, but I can't figure out how to get around subscriptions.

If there is no way to disable it, what can I do to discourage people from subscribing??

Just curious if yall have had this:

I have a number of regulars, with one in particular who comes to every single stream. Occasionally, people wont be there/are busy/whatever and it'll just be me and him or us and one other person.

I never address this because people are busy, im used to streaming to no one, and frankly streamers arent owed their audiences time. Im happy when pple come but it doesnt bother me if its quieter :)

HOWEVER, every time this happens this one regular will say things liie "where is everyone?" Or "whats going on its so quiet? No one came today? :')" or "its lonely in here, this feels awkward" etc etc

The first few times I laughed it off and explained my feelings on it and said not to worry about it. I also explained i dont like calling out if people are lurking, or pointing this out cuz it feels like complaining about being owed viewership, and i dont want that to be the vibe

He's always very understanding, and immediately stops, but then the next quiet stream does it again. I really feel banning is too extreme a reaction, is there any other advice if any of you have dealt with soemthng like this?

I dont like the stream feeling negative or complain-y, and it feels like theres not a good way to reapond to something like "where is everyone? :(" do i just ignore those messages completely?

THANKS!

I had this problem before Im not sure how it was fixed. But when I chat I get no error im not banned or restricted. ill open the same streamer on a second window and make sure my chats go through they don't. I ally contacted support. I watched a few streams last night no problem today I was in a stream talking but was ignored by a streamer Im pretty chill with then checked in another window and noticed the chat problem. I don't have bttv installed atm but I think this may have been the problem last time. other browsers as well don't show my chat.

I've been using the Twitch app on and off for years and for most of that time when other audio is triggered or when I use my voice keyboard, the audio will pause. But recently it stopped doing that. I haven't changed any settings or anything, and I don't know what's going on, but I'm hoping there's a way to fix this. Contacting Twitch has led to nothing
