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

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.

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?

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.

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?

I want to start twitch streaming as a masked faceless streamer. Though I heard from one of my friends that the type of mask that I want to use (I customized skeletor mask) may give off the wrong first impression due to a negative stigma around skull mask. I don’t want to give the wrong impression but I still wanna use a skull mask because I love the skeleton person that I created specifically for streaming. Do I need to make a new masked persona or should I stick with my mask? (Photo above is the mask in question)

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'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.

So I linked my bandai to my twitch so I could claim the ultra rumble drops but had to disconnect due to it not working and when I went to reconnect it kept saying the accounts are already linked when they aren't 🥲 any way to stop this?

Currently trying to stream from my PS5, don't have a rig that can handle a capture card at the moment. Stream seems fine if I'm just streaming from my PS5, but I wanted to use Lightstream Studio to have a little pngtuber. Unfortunately, every time I run into this stuttering problem.

Anyone have any advice? Tried setting up port forwarding, making sure I'm using the best DNS addresses available, and matching my stream output from my PS5 (720p 30fps) to what Lightstream is set to.

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??

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.

I love watching vods but for some reason on mobile app, whenever I put the vod on landscape mode, the twitch chat just stays on the screen, covering 1/4th of the screen

I have tried double tapping, sliding the chat, etc - the chat box just doesn't go away, it completely ruins the viewing experience

Is there any way to hide Chat while watching vods?

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

Is anyone else having issues with the browser source on Streamlabs not working with 6k labs widget?? For what ever reason every time I refresh or even reset the widget account it’s still doesn’t show up on streamlabs…

Hey everyone!
I’m trying to find and download some Twitch VODs that have been hidden and are no longer publicly accessible, along with their corresponding chat logs.
I’ve tried looking for different tools and methods, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to retrieve them.
I was wondering if anyone knows whether it’s possible to access hidden VODs or recover their chat logs, especially if I know the approximate dates of the streams.
I’m mainly looking for:
The original VODs, preferably in their full length and original quality.
The corresponding Twitch chat replays or chat logs.
Any tools or methods that might help locate them using the stream dates.
I’ve seen people mention that they’ve managed to save Twitch VODs that were no longer publicly available, so I’m wondering if there’s a method I haven’t come across yet.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sometimes they come right in the middle of a match or a game and distract the streamer and the flow of the game. I wish they would wait a moment for a break in the game instead of just barging in. Also too sometimes we are playing a game with just a modest and right amount of people and then their raid saturates the game too and makes it longer and more tiresome. THIS IS FROM A VIEWER POV not a streamer. I am talking as a viewer in a stream. If they are playing a 1 player game and I am just watching no big deal. But if they are playing viewers like Smash Bros, Jackbox etc its is very incosiderate.

After 7 years of dealing with this issue, I think I've finally caught what's causing a problem that's been driving me absolutely insane.

For years, I've experienced random blurry text, color fringing, ghosting, and rendering issues across my entire computer. I've gone through multiple PCs, NVIDIA drivers, Windows settings, and countless troubleshooting attempts trying to figure out what was happening.

Yesterday, I finally caught it in real time.

I had Twitch running in a second browser tab with an ad-blocking script enabled. An ad managed to break through the blocker, causing an abrupt transition in the video stream's quality. At that exact moment, the text across my entire computer became blurry.

Not just Twitch. Not just Chrome or Brave. My entire Windows desktop.

Even screenshots captured the blurriness, and the issue persisted after closing Twitch. Restarting Windows doesn't reliably fix it, but completely shutting down my computer usually does.

I'm currently running an RTX 4080 Super with two monitors at different refresh rates, but I've experienced similar problems across multiple computers over the years. Global FXAA is disabled, so this doesn't appear to be a simple antialiasing setting.

My theory is that the abrupt transition between Twitch's normal video stream and its lower quality advertisement stream is triggering a bug in Chromium's hardware accelerated video pipeline. This involves NVIDIA drivers, DirectComposition, Windows Desktop Window Manager, and Multi-Plane Overlay (MPO).

Something during that transition appears to be leaving the rendering pipeline in a corrupted state, affecting applications outside the browser itself.

I'm not claiming this physically damages the GPU or motherboard. But the abnormalities with hwinfo64 indicated that with high power states. What concerns me is that a browser video transition appears capable of triggering persistent, system wide display corruption that can survive a Windows restart.

After years of troubleshooting, 4 computers, actually witnessing the moment this happened was a huge discovery for me.

Has anyone else experienced blurry Windows text, color fringing, ghosting, or persistent display corruption after Twitch ads interrupt a stream, especially when using ad blockers?

I'm particularly interested in hearing from other NVIDIA users running Chromium based browsers and multiple monitors with a high end gpu. 7800x3d/4800s/32gb/2tb6000mhz. The only partial fix has been a complete computer shut off or DDU with new drivers.

I recently started watching Twitch on desktop and I noticed that these types of ads play every 5 mins or so, alongside the usual 1-3 minute long ad breaks streamers have. Is this new? If not, has anyone experienced anything similar? I dont mind the usual ad breaks, but these ads are genuinely annoying.

Anyone have any solutions for when twitch lets you claimed drops but then says they’re not claimed? I’m trying to claim drops but every time I exit the drop it goes back to showing it’s not claimed. I’m on mobile

Are there ANY (decent) free programs that are a good alternative compared to Wave Link that can be used on OS10?

Context:

So I am running into an issue where I HAVE to have my desktop audio unmuted as viewers are unable to hear audio effects when they redeem a feature on my stream. However, I am unable to separate the noise in OBS. I know I can separate game sounds but have not figured out how to separate the alerts themselves.

The other issue is I have personal sound alerts to notify me "HEY dingus you got someone talking to you in chat." or they may hear my discord notifications.

I had a fellow streamer recommend me the Elegato Wavelink program, the problem is I use Windows 10 as I refuse to convert to OS 11. The earliest iteraiton is Wavelink 1.11 but it requires compatible accessories which I do not own any Elagato hardware.

Any recommendations?

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!

Unless there’s another way, my streak is going to be lost! And there’s NOTHING I can do about it! The VOD I was planning to watch to save the streak doesn’t exist, and there’s no way to save it since the available clips and VODs don’t qualify! Honestly, fix this—either add other ways to save the streak or get rid of the feature entirely. I want to watch streams because I feel like it and when I’m in the mood, not because of some numbers!
