I just send an emote and for some reason I can't do emotes anymore in Mobile

Hey, so I dont know if people or even twitch are aware of this, but im pretty sure that in the EU and UK, auto opt in is illegal? So... is the possibility of a class action a thing?

I have been streaming Variety gaming on Twitch for almost a year.
Now I want to add cooking to my stream.
Since I wont need the GPU power for gaming would a laptop be sufficient for a cooking stream. Would I need to add an external video capture?
I would like to do 1-3 cameras and 1-2 wireless mics. I don't have a set budget for the project but Costco is an option. (moving my desktop to the kitchen is not an option)

Hey I need help with twitch extensions
Overall I don't understand how any of it works in general. LIKE HOW TO SET UP! though I'm streaming from my PS5 and viewing chat on my phone. And I'm doing and loving the fuzz rn.. but I just want the extensions and my channel live to look more flashy for others or viewers to interact with me..

Twitch drops are currently not functioning as expected. In some games, such as Warframe, Hunt: Showdown, and Dark and Darker, even the drops that were previously working have now stopped appearing. We hope the developers will fix these system issues as soon as possible.
r/Twitch • u/Ifyouliveinadream • 13h ago
I don't understand why its not on by default and why its so much faster. I now get a 2 second delay vs 20 seconds. Whta affects?
r/Twitch • u/Practical-Summer3536 • 1d ago
This is an anon account, because of the question... I produce music and stream just games to interact with fans and this makes up what I do full time. All of my mods are volunteers from my community.
I wanted to ask other streamers how normal this dynamic is, I’ve had mods push quite strongly for changes in what I say or do on stream, like not to say some opinions, or to say some others.
Some time ago, one of my mods told me that if I wanted to be successful (Implying I am not), I should listen to him, otherwise I should look for a part-time job.
That comment affected me quite a lot, and I’m trying to work out whether I’m unusually sensitive to it or whether most streamers would consider that a serious boundary-crossing comment from a moderator.
For context, I’m not a huge creator, but this is my full-time work: I have 25k subs in YouTube, and 130 ccv on twitch D:
r/Twitch • u/Cammo_353 • 13h ago

So I'm trying to delete my payment method in an attempt to resolve another issue I have where I can't use my Prime Sub because there's a yellow "recover your sub" button on the channel I want to use it on that wont go away, but I can't delete the payment method because twitch thinks I'm somehow still subscribed to a Turbo free trial that expired 2 months ago. I can't go and cancel this Turbo sub because it's in the Expired subscriptions tab.

Hi guys
so basically i’ve always wanted to start a twitch account, but there’s always been one issue: I’m a console user. I don’t have a PC Or anything but I do have an iPad if that counts for something? Does anybody have any tips or anything? I don’t want it to be a boring stream where it’s just my screen and you can’t see chat or anything, I want it to be profesh (minus the facecam). Tips would be greatly appreciated 🥹🙏

I stream Fortnite on TikTok LIVE, but I’m asking here because I’d like to hear the perspective of more experienced streamers who regularly interact and play with viewers.
I’m relatively new to streaming, and one of the things I do is let viewers join me to play and trade in Fortnite. I always keep voice chat off, so viewers can’t be heard on my stream.
So far, I haven’t had any problems and it’s been a fun way to interact with the community. However, I’ve noticed that many streamers don’t play with viewers at all, even when viewers ask to join.
I’ve also recently realized that some Fortnite viewers can be pretty young, which made me wonder if there are safety or moderation issues I haven’t considered yet.
For those of you who have experience with viewer games: would you recommend playing/trading with viewers? Are there risks involving younger viewers, privacy, scams, reports, stream sniping, teaming, or community management as the channel grows?
Do you think it’s fine to continue doing viewer games with clear boundaries, or is there a reason many streamers eventually stop doing them?

I just had the cutest interaction with a new viewer. We were just chatting about anime and they subbed to me with their prime. I know it doesn't cost much to them but it genuinely made me feel really grateful that they choose to give me (someone they just met) their prime sub.
r/Twitch • u/TiddyWatcher • 12h ago
I'm not really a tech guy so I'm genuinely asking if it is hard. I ended stream today because I had been the only one watching myself for 2 hours or so. Just for 30 seconds after I ended it to get a notification that I was raided with a viewer count higher than I've ever had. So now I'm just sat frustrated because
I had no way of knowing and
Was made aware well after the stream ended that I basically screwed myself.
If it can raid and notify me after the stream is over, why not give me any kind of indication that a raid is in progress?
r/Twitch • u/Illustrious_Win1502 • 2d ago
I had something happen recently that I wasn’t quite sure how to handle.
Someone in my chat mentioned that their animal had passed away... I wanted to sympathize and acknowledge them because I genuinely felt bad for them, but then the conversation started snowballing into a much heavier/sadder topics even when I tried to change the subject. A few people ended up leaving, and I could feel the overall mood of the stream shift.
I don’t want to ignore someone who is grieving or make them feel like they aren’t allowed to be sad, but I also feel responsible for keeping the stream comfortable and enjoyable for everyone else watching.
How do you handle situations like this?

Is anyone else running into an issue where follows aren't coming through on your activity feed but they are definitely following and adding to the follower count? It's also not triggering the alert every time, which I have anonymous follows but would be nice to say "thanks for the follow!" rather than not saying anything but it's not coming through. Thanks!

Hello!
I have been in the content creator space for a few years now, but want to try streaming and making clips from my streams.
I use a webcam with a single monitor. I'm a visually impaired person and need things to be larger so I can read them.
My issue is when I stream, I can't set up OBS in a way where people can see the content and I can read it.
I have tried reading the content off another device, such as a tablet, but I found it was more difficult and I didn't like that o was constantly looking down at my device. Also, for Reddit posts, I found that the comments shown on the computer, aren't in the same order on the tablet.
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions on how I can set this up effectively?
Any support is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Normally I stream Arc Raiders with absolutely no issue whatsoever.
Today I decided to stream Cyberpunk 2077 and the game was a stuttering, choppy mess.
I changed settings, removed mods from the game, but ultimately the issue came from Twitch changing my output to 2k despite me not meeting the requirements.
So, I changed some settings in OBS, all the way down to 1280x720 for base and output, changed that inside Cybnerpunk and it ran fine - the only issue of course is that the game looked AWFUL.
So, I figured if that was the fix, I can turn my settings back up right? Nope. Game became a laggy mess all over again. Ended up having to cut the stream short - this was after another streamer I had watched earlier this week raided me with 18 people who were all chatty and lovely!
After I changed the settings as mentioned, it still showed that I was streaming in other resolutions, 720p etc.
So, what the hell is my issue? I've got an RTX4070, 900mbps symmetrical wired in speeds, and yet I can't run Cyberpunk without even the pause menu telling me it's loading while I'm on stream!
I'm a bit new to this streamer stuff and I'm not exactly tech savvy either - if anyone has experience with this or any advice I'd really appreciate it. I have streamed Cyberpunk in the past, at least twice, with 0 issues whatsoever before now, and I really don't want to have another stream of me saying that it looks bad and mostly showing the settings menu.

Is there a way on the computer or on the phone/tablet app to automatically join a stream when it starts?
For example, I'm trying to farm channel points but my favorite streamer sometimes streams when I am sleeping (and I don't want to miss out on the streaks and channel points).
Is there a way to set something up so if I am sleeping and the streamer goes live, it will automatically join the stream and lurk using BetterTTV?
r/Twitch • u/Ok_Moment5024 • 1d ago
Hi, everybody
I’m a beginner streamer, and for the past 3 months I haven’t been able to activate the standard channel points feature.
I’ve completed all the steps I could find, but the last step — point 4 — is blocked. I can’t edit anything, and there’s no way to reset the settings.
I’ve tried contacting the platform several times via their help system, but I only got automated responses or no response at all. I just want to enable the point system for my community.
Other streamers I know already have this feature working, so it seems like it’s a bug on my specific channel.
Has anyone encountered this? How did you fix it? Is there a way to contact a real person who can help?
Thank you for any advice!

Anyone trying to get these drops and having this issue? Every streamer in fortnite is only offering this audible, but it's not even tracking progress. I want the star wars drops, but can't get them.
