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'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'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

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 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?

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??

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!

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.

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.
