Twitch will let streamers ban users from watching their streams

In the streaming world, Twitch users have been given the power to ban viewers from watching their streams. Twitch, one of the most popular streaming platforms, has announced that users can now ban individual users from viewing their content.

The move comes as a welcomed addition for Twitch users who are looking for greater control over their stream. It helps protect the content from trolls, bullies and viewers who are being disruptive to the channel’s other viewers.

Twitch has provided streamers with several options to help them manage their streams. This includes the ability to set a ban list, blacklist certain words, and other channels. Streamers can also enable a chat command to automatically ban any users who break Twitch’s Terms of Service.

Using the new feature, streamers are now able to ban individual users from their stream without the need to use the chat command or blacklist them. All they have to do is type in the username of the user they want to ban and click the ban button. The ban will be removed only when the streamer manually does it, so there is no way for banned users to sneak back in.

The ban option is part of Twitch’s new “Moderation Tools” which were released as part of the platform’s ‘Safety for Streamers’ initiative. In addition to banning users, streamers can also reduce the chat speed, enable filtered chat and set moderators.

Twitch is sending out a strong message to its community: if you don’t follow the rules, you aren’t welcome. The addition of this new feature gives streamers more control over their streams, allowing them to keep their stream safe and enjoyable for other viewers.

Ultimately, Twitch is looking to create a better environment for streamers and their viewers. The new feature will no doubt be a great help in keeping trolls and disruptive users away. With the right moderation, streamers on Twitch will be able to focus more on enjoying their stream instead of constantly having to deal with trolls and bullies.
