Twitch is making it easier to keep assholes out of your streams.
Twitch will soon allow streamers to block banned users from watching their streams. Twitch streamer Lowco reported that the new feature will be showing up in creators’ settings in September. Currently, bans only remove them from chat.
Bad actors can still circumvent this by signing out of a banned account, as it’s not an IP ban. But Trevor Fisher, a senior product manager for community health at Twitch, said the company is considering IP bans or other safety measures for future updates said in a video.
