FAQs

Does Twitch allow NSFW streams? ›

While Twitch prohibits nudity, inappropriate attire, p*rnography, and certain Sexual Content, streamers are required to apply a content classification label to certain streams that contain sexual themes, listed below.

Suspensions. Temporary suspensions range from one to 30 days. After the suspension is complete, you will be able to use our services once again. We keep a record of past violations, and multiple suspensions over time can lead to an indefinite suspension.

Ban Evasion Detection relies on machine learning to flag “Possible” or “Likely” channel-ban evaders who enter your chat. By default, “Likely” evaders will be put into restricted mode, and “Possible” evaders will be put into monitoring.

If your child is interested in streaming and is 18 or over, it's better to enable the Mature Content just in case they have younger viewers.

You can find this feature in your Moderation Settings, and opt in by toggling the Stop banned users from viewing stream setting on. Banned users can still watch livestreams from an incognito window or while logged out, and will still be able to access VODs, highlights, and clips.

What happens if a streamer bans you? ›

If you're the channel owner or channel moderator, you can ban someone from your channel. This will prevent the user from appearing in your chatters list, and they will be unable to view or participate in chat. Banned users will also be removed from your followers and can't re-follow you while they are banned.

Reporting is safe and anonymous – your identity will not be revealed to the reported party.
