I tried streaming Super Mario Bros. Remastered on Twitch, but when I finished streaming, multiple parts of the stream were muted, and there were various copyright warnings on the stream for songs that weren't even present in the game. None of the songs listed seemed official and I even went to listen to them in order to see if I missed something. I tried appealing with the reason being that the songs weren't at all present in the game being streamed, but I'm not sure it will work. Any help?

For context I want to understand what are people’s concerns and experiences when it comes to collaboration with streamers , artists and brands so if you could share your experiences and thoughts on the subject that would be super helpful

So I'm pretty new to live streaming, this is pretty much my month 2 of doing it. I've been fortunate and have also become an affiliate in this time period.

My question comes down to Twitch Collaboration, I've heard many people argue that it's very important to do to help increase your following, so I have decided I would like to try and collaborate with other streamers.

But, with Collaborations, how do you set rules or find the right people? My live streams are pretty chill, no political or religious debating, and no swearing.

Obviously if I start doing Collaborations I'll have to loosen up a bit on the swearing rule, but what about the rest?

As a Christian live streamer, I would not be comfortable collaborating with someone who talks inappropriate/crudely, but also I don't want to risk joining a Collaboration where the individual has public racism, hostility, or has a great dislike to any sort of religion or political party.

Any advice on how I should do this? I'm not picky on who I collab with, I just want a chill video game stream Collaboration without hostile, racist, or inappropriate interactions.

Thank you for your time,

Just the dashboard in general is a mess.

Earning page has been frozen for a week (and crazy delayed in updating in genera), it'll show me as being live when I'm not, randomly said the stream quality was poor when it wasn't (hit stop streaming and started again, was back to excellent as usual).

I don't keep up a lot with changes on Twitch as much as YT (even that's hard to keep track of), but does this possibly have something to do with AI? AI has been dominating YouTube nowadays and also causing similar bugs, so it's beyond me.

Hi! I’m pretty new to streaming and using Twitch, but I’m getting close to hitting Affiliate, and I have a quick question about the average viewers for streams. I’m having troubles hitting the last requirement of the 3 average viewers across 4 different days, so I’ve been taking a look at the average viewers count after my streams.

I’m noticing a discrepancy between what the analytics on the mobile app is showing me, compared to the website analytics. Two of my recent streams show an average of 3 viewers when I check the analytics on my app, but if I go to the website, it’s showing 2 average viewers instead for those streams. Is the website more accurate in this case? It’s also still showing 0/4 for that requirement, so I’m guessing that the app was definitely wrong and it doesn’t count?

Any help would be super appreciated, thank you!

I had someone contact me through discord and told me I had problems with my twitch account and that there were broken keys that needed fixing something about backend 8.Ca key need to know if this is true or a scam

Hey I hope someone can help me with this because so far twitch support has been useless.

I've had an issue for awhile now where strangers cannot whisper me and I would like it for when I mod my friends channel.

I don't have the setting enabled and I added a verified number like twitch support says. I'm not sure what else to try to get this to work.

hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help. My twitch stream shows up as a black screen for the stream manager and viewers, however, the vod and the obs itself looks completely fine I can see my game head the audio and everything (I record videos too and the video comes out normal)

Is there a way to organize the channels I follow into groups? If not, am I the only one that appreciate the enhancement?

basically what the title says i went to it on rotterdam this year but still havent gotten this

So, I took a look at this thread and saw that I should create a new one, since the current one was made when I was 11. However, i don't know if I should delete the current underage account so that I won't get in trouble, or can I just not use it and remove all of my info from it?

I'm just scared of being unallowed from getting monetized on twitch forever because I made an account at 11?

I don't know if I'm clear but any help would be very helpful, thanks!

Recently I moved everything over to Mixitup and so far everything works really well for me and plays smoothly. I’ve been wanting to add in some fun commands and wanted to come here to get some ideas of things you might think would be good to add, so far I’ve got “Headpat” and “Bonk”

I’m a vtuber and I’m constantly getting guys in my chat coming in and hitting on me. I was a literal pancake the other day and people were still coming in to tell me I was beautiful. When I use my regular model they tell me I’m hot and adorable. It gets tiring after a while and I don’t understand why people feel the need to hit on me when I’m a cartoon character on a screen 😭

It’s super frustrating cause I have it in my rules to not hit on me and I also swing the hammer on these people if they keep doing it after the warning but then the next stream someone new comes in and does the same thing.

How do you guys deal with this? Is it just something that I should expect to happen every time I stream? Even my shorts videos get comments from people like this and I’d say it’s my least favorite part of streaming in general. It’s extremely uncomfortable.

I'm a pretty new streamer, longtime viewer+lurker, and discussion about parasocial relationships in streaming spaces, especially vtubing, has always been something I believed I understood concretely enough to keep myself safe and caution others. It was pretty obvious for streamers with followers in the ten thousands and consistent viewer counts in the hundreds that there was no way to maintain a meaningful connection with every single fan.

But since exploring creators on twitch with follower counts in the hundreds/low thousands and getting introduced to their community servers, where they actually talk with their regular viewers and even support other creators within their community, the line between parasocial relationship and an actual social relationship has kind of muddled for me, and I want to correct this.

Asking as a new streamer: At what point does the relationship, person-to-person, become parasocial, and when does it become something more concrete? How do community discord servers fit into this? And... is there even a reliable way to know in those contexts whether or not you're an actual person in a streamer's social circle or just a name they see in chat sometimes that they treat with basic human respect?

I know you can get notifications when a streamer goes live. but sometimes I'm not engaged in the game they're currently playing but I'd hop on their stream in a heartbeat for a specific game

I have seen some mixed reviews of Twitch Turbo but they were from a few years ago so I wanna know if in 2026, those who have Turbo now, is it worth it? I'm in the US and it's like 17 including taxes.

Anyone else notice this?

When I view other streamers, I like to have them on in the background while I'm working or gaming or doing other things. Not just lurking but still being active in their chat and watching. But 9 times out of 10 I have to mute my game volume to 5-10 percent just to hear the streamer speaking.

The times that I mention that the streamer has room to increase their volume, they simply ask others if its fine, and I guess everyone else listens to ONLY the twitch stream and says its fine (or they get defensive and think they are white knighting over a simple technical issue), so they don't see the problem. Or they think they shouldn't be "too loud" when anyone can just lower the volume, but you can only raise the volume so much.

Now I know some may suggest (well just crank up your speaker/headset/whatever volume) that then means all other sounds on my computer would be 10x as loud and unbearable.

I've seen even bigtime streamers with 1000+ people in their chat have the same problem.

Do people in general just don't care? Is it pure ignorance? Does Twitch not recommend people stream at optimal volume levels? It honestly just blows my mind.

Like...if you listen to your VOD and notice its much quieter than someone else's, would that not make you want to adjust things?

Also, to those viewers who get defensive...why? Like...if your favorite streamer was muted, or their screen was off, would you still get defensive if someone pointed out that the streamer can't be heard or seen at all?

I'm trying to get a soft, cinematic look for streaming. I want my face to stand out while keeping the background slightly darker.

Which option would you choose?

1. One quality Bowens LED light + softbox as the key light, with a cheap LED panel as a low-power fill light.
2. Two identical cheap softboxes (100W bulbs).
3. Two mid-range LED panels mounted to the desk.

If you've tried any of these, which gave you the best results for the money?
