Twitch updates banning features for streamers—and the community is ecstatic

In an upcoming update to Twitch moderation tools, broadcasters are finally getting more tools to combat toxicity with new changes to the banning and blocking features on the website.

On the latest episode of Twitch’s Patch Notes live show, community health senior product manager Trevor Fisher revealed that any time a streamer bans a viewer from their channel or blocks a user, those affected users will no longer be able to view the stream either. This feature will be added to all streamers across the platform this September and is an optional tool that can be toggled in settings.
