Twitch streamers can block banned users from watching their stream

It looks like Twitch has also integrated the new option into its existing block tools, meaning if a streamer bans a user from chat, they will automatically be unable to watch the stream as well. However, the bans are only effective if the user is logged in to their Twitch account. While they can browse the streamer’s VODs, clips and highlights, Twitch says it has plans to prevent banned users from doing so.

Since the streaming platform doesn’t enforce IP blocking, banned users will still be able to watch streamers who have blocked them from incognito mode or by logging out from their accounts.

The option to prevent banned users from viewing live streams can be found by navigating to the platform’s ‘Moderation Settings’ in the Creator Dashboard and turning on the ‘Stop banned users from viewing stream’ setting. Twitch says the feature is still rolling out to everyone, so some streamers might get it sooner than others.

Twitch is currently one of the most popular streaming services on the planet, but things may change down the line, with Twitch rivals like Kick offering creators the option to keep 95 per cent of their revenue and X (formerly Twitter) CEO Elon Musk testing a new live video game streaming feature.
