    How do I change the name of my Twitch emotes? I didn't know how to name them and now I am stuck with the weird names I gave them : ( I am bad with computers I don't know how to work anything past Windows Vista....

  • MrBearsHehe Mr Bears (@MrBearsHehe) reported

    @day9tv @Twitch I agree with this - however we just need to ensure that the emotes are quality pogs. A lot of people attempting to recreate it don't catch the same energy

    @BadBunnyTwitch I'm sure you know by know but there is a huge misogyny problem with the Twitch left.

  • TheDeaconCash Deacon Cash; Quarentine Activated! (@TheDeaconCash) reported

    @MikedegrootHZD @Twitch lol fix streams and help the platform overall... No, you'll get banned for saying words like virgin or simp or if you say anything about the staff getting any kinds of pictures instead. They're improving the platform for their mods and the unbanned that should be banned.

  • tronexalon -TronExalon- (@tronexalon) reported

    On another note, once Twitch payment comes in next month, I'll be making some changes and getting myself set up to make higher quality streams. A second monitor, a few little add-ons for Twitch, and maybe even a webcam so I can stream my avatar in real time. Oh boy..

  • knoxville1991Xx Knoxville (@knoxville1991Xx) reported

    ok so i feel stupid! i wanted to stream to youtube this year instead of twitch to see how it goes BUT it seems like setting everything up is alot more tedious on youtube and alerts dont even work properly unless your a partner so i think its back to twitch for me

  • ThisIsBruceLee ThisIsJessie (@ThisIsBruceLee) reported

    @johncenabrah @RogueCompany They made a statement on this something about a bug for the twitch skins making them disappear and working on a fix and all that

  • sumisanjima スミ子 (@sumisanjima) reported

    Consider the following: You see a stream on twitch, its title is in english (as example), it has the english stream tag, the streamer's info is in english, the chat is all in english. What broken logic dictates you should speak [not english] here, and feel entitled to do so?

  • Cypnos Cypnos (@Cypnos) reported

    Has Twitch actually gone down AGAIN? That's like every other day since the beginning of the month ffs For the record, YouTube hasn't had ANY issues (that I'm aware of)

  • Klovar Klovar (@Klovar) reported

    @Gizmodo help, i was wearing fruit of the loom boxers while streaming and they claimed my entire twitch and youtube channel as a Copyright strike because i didn't credit them with me wearing their underwear /s WHERE WILL THE STUPIDITY END?

  • TJGoSurf TJ (@TJGoSurf) reported

  • CoolAL10 CoolAL (@CoolAL10) reported

    Hey guys, looks like I’ll be going on a streaming hiatus (and postponing the rest of my charity event) until I figure out issues with the Twitch video cutting out. Hopefully on my next stream, it’ll be a normal stream and not a “Black Screen Podcast.”

  • DarkSquirty0 ZeroDarkSquirty (@DarkSquirty0) reported

    @Twitch watching streams now for 6 hours and still stuck on 93% of the drops. great broken bot :D

  • PoemJosh Josh poem (@PoemJosh) reported

    Phil saying why he avoids discussion of bits and cheers: SPOILERS: he can’t talk about them like money. “As per Twitches guidelines I can’t talk about them in certain ways, uh...I can’t outright answer any questions about them...uh, but yah...they do help me”

  • MoaAfzal MOA (@MoaAfzal) reported

    @TwitchSupport Hi Twitch! I was invited to become an Affiliate, but it has been stuck on the final step (Payout Method) for days now. Restarting doesn't seem to work as I can't change anything. Could you perhaps take a look and help me out? (Twitch = MageMoa)
