Always outliers but I also forgot kids love hearing people swear, I was thinking more from the demographics and how to talk to keep them sort’ve thing.
@@StreamScheme yeah, obviously these things aren’t cut and clean. I wanna make it clear that I wasn’t criticising your points at all. This video was very useful for me. TommyInnit just popped into my head as you said that and I thought it was pretty funny is all
@@StreamScheme twitch has a do not ban list that if you get there you well never get banned so the problem is that people think swar words are banned, and its not 100% correct cus the do not ban list people can basically do anything, they go whitout any consequences , HELL there is that bathtub streamer girl who does s*x ERP on twitch and only gets 1 week suspension..... :/
Don't forget that you can set certain words & phrases to "public" or "private" visibility. Public just means the mods you select can also see the word when viewing your banned phrases list. A private word/phrase is convenient if you have something personal you don't want in chat (name, phrase, etc.), but that you don't want to disclose to every person you mod as something that affects you.
1:27 - I honestly never once thought about this and it's so obvious. Thank you for the reminder! You absolutely do need to be careful who you add into voice coms while streaming.
This is extremely helpful for when I make a twitch account, recently I deleted mine because I reread the ToS and found I'm too young to be on there. So when I am old enough and need an actual human translating the sometimes confusing ToS I know where to check back. :D
As someone brand new to learning about streaming this is really valuable. Thank you for taking the time to make it! Who wants to put all this work in to get slapped with a ban because you can’t watch your mouth?
Best of luck to all you fellow streamers.😎 I thought I’d say this in case any of us needed to hear this. You will all do great! I myself barely get 2-3 viewers right now and even then I’m just happy making content that can hopefully make others happy 😊 From some streamer to another, Good luck and stay posted 😁👍
Hey friend, great video, everyone needs to watch this whether they are a streamer or viewer. Please keep up the fabulous work. We need more of this type of content on all platforms.
I stream told my mate about what that can and can't say thay didnt believe me and thay said the n bomb and I got suspended for 2 weeks and this video backs me up really helpful vid man keep it up
I have been doing a fair amount of research on streaming on twitch, and I have found out that I can stop that, and just watch all of your videos. All your videos are informative and extremely easy to follow, for once I am not getting bored watching someone explain something. Thank you for the amazing videos!
@@StreamScheme Can you be banned for playing a somewhat offensive game? I want to stream pokemon Clover but I'm worried it will get me banned. It doesn't have anything nudity related but, it does have some offensive content.
@@jdmking4776 Yes if a game breaks Twitch Terms of service you can be banned, I'd recommend reviewing how intense the content in the game is and if it breaks any particular rules.
Starting new as a twitch streamer is completely different to being a youtuber. I've learnt that 🤣 but getting advice from other youtubers I have to say your the best for advice you cover everything. Many thanks 😁✌️
The auto mod cracked me the hell up on stream last night. Somehow the topic of fast food chicken came up in the chat and I got involved in the coversation. Someone commented "I hate Chick-fil-a. The breading sucks." Auto mod flagged it for me and labeled is mysoginistic. I laughed for twenty straight minutes. Let that be a lesson for ya. If you hate Chick-Fil-A you are a mysognist! Hahahahahah
Helpful video indeed and there's quite a lot of people who barely can talk without using the *"F bomb or most profanity"* without stuttering like a mad man.
I normally watch these on Sunday to play catch up with what I’m doing wrong but slowly and surely I’m growing this past month. Up to 11 followers 🔥🔥 love the videos.
I'm being harassed by someone who's making entire videos on his twitch channel about me But he didn't break any of those rules except giving out information that I do not want out there what do I do?
You can report them for doxxing you and releasing information on Twitch to Twitch. If you are in serious harm or danger, you can also contact them asking to stop and if they refuse, keep that for record, and take that to Twitch as well as the authorities to ask for help. Otherwise you just have to do your best to move on and stay safe.
I’m not sure if you have covered this, but what about super basics for starting to stream? Like screen placement, loading screen, emojis for subs etc. I could use some help! 😊
@@Cheekyspeezy All sorts, I'm a variety streamer but often I start most nights with some just chatting and then move into something else. Doing Phasmaphobia tonight, just finished a challenge mode Pokemon Ruby run, every Saturday is either community night with jackbox or Sweaty Saturday where I play dark souls and such. Jumping into some more stuff next week that should be chill as well.
My mate was streaming and I didn't know and got killed in a game and popped of saying the f bomb and the c word and now he doesn't let me go in voice chat with him
I am not a Facebook fan, I'm always watching what I say on stream and I don't like to offend anyone and I like to keep to twitch's guidelines thanks for the tips Eljay it is also awesome that it's an aussie helping me be a better streamer/content creator Thank You !!!
I have to agree with you on the doxxing. Person got my info from my discord during a heating argument, and then got my real name from my Instagram and then started making usernames with my information and saying it in my chat. The instagram one I didnt know that when it merged with FB it put your real name in your bio. I told Twitch, they did nothing.
Daaang, I hate it when people dox me over a heating argument. I say I prefer wood stoves, they mention that they prefer gas, and it all goes downhill from there.
twitch really likes to go overboard with their rules. I.e. gamechat on your stream that you have no control over and your discord server that isnt even owned by twitch. They need to chill tf out with their overreaching
Most of the time they won’t do anything about it. They only step in if for whatever reason the incident goes viral (or someone manually reports it) because then they’ll be forced to take a stance. They do this with a lot of stuff they don’t normally enforce just so you don’t complain on the rare occasion they actually have to enforce a rule. This is part of what leads into them being inconsistent at moderating, because they likely couldn’t possibly moderate everything happening on their site.
They really do lmaooo bruh I joked in my friends chat ( I’m a mod) I put my Rick is hard I even spelled d!ck wrong lol. Mind you I’m a mod and I’m a girl when I tried to appeal they said It was unsolicited sexual advances so in other words ima SO to twitch now lmao
Another great tip... ALWAYS Check the links or recommendations your viewers send you in before showing it on stream (speaking out of personal experience here that got me suspended for 2 weeks) - though it actually helped me grow because a lot of other streamers from the german anime twitch community kept mentioning me BUT did I really wanted to be known as the H-tai guy among the streamer community? - nope?! xD Gladly nothing to bad came out of that screw up but please double check everything your viewers send you in before displaying it on stream!
Tbh I doubt I'd ever get suspended or banned cuz I'm a pretty wholesome person (I know wow thank you for the applause) but tbh it's good to know just incase. I have a habit of accidentally going into TedTalk mode on serious topics that get me heated and I dont wanna break the rules during a small rant
Do you answer comments? 1:45 , what if someone random I queued into the same game with like a Valorant match says a discriminatory slur, does it count if you do nothing to avoid that risk, or does whether you condone the slur said come into play?
The rules have changed these days to be more about context to avoid creators being punished for that situation you mentioned. That said, you have to prove you are taking precautions, by muting the users who are discriminating and such. Plus your viewers will be much happier not listening to it hahaha
This is very helpful cuz I want to stream and thanks to this, I can be careful with my words and I'll tell my friends to don't say the bannable words so that I don't get banned
My wife made a mistake, she said a word that she shouldn't when reading her chat, it was hidden in a question and we found out the guy made a clip. We deleted it but we do not know what he can do with that. 1) we banned him afterwards, once the stream ended. 2) I marked him as suspicious user. 3) We change settings on who can do clips. I hope she doesn't get in trouble, especially since she's just started. I feel I failed to her 😥
I wouldn't change your clip settings, that just hurts your ability to make content in the future. Just delete the VoD, delete the clip, and make sure your Auto-mod settings are up to date to catch bad words. :)
@Stream Scheme after the clip purge, I don't bother with it any more. Some make clips, but not like before. Probably only limit mods to make clips/post clips.
Thank you so much for all of your videos. I'm a little girl who dreams of becoming a minecraft streamer. Your videos will be very helpful for not just me, but many other people to follow their dream.
My baby cat Aisha was watching you so attentively that I think the next time I need to check whether my behavior is in line with Twitch streaming guidelines I should talk to her. D:
The part about being responsible for other's speech is annoying, and it's not even really specific to Twitch. Not being able to have hard discussions with or about people who have awful views is stifling to public discourse, and it's becoming harder and harder to even talk about these things online because of how paranoid all the major platforms are about superficially pissing off mindless, spineless, know-nothing advertisers. It's really disturbing how more and more channels that discuss history, philosophy, and politics have to _censor_ out swastikas and the word, "Nazi" for fear of angering the great algorithm :/ This is what happens when Pepsi gets to dictate what we talk about and bases their standards upon whether or not vapid, shallow, and spiteful click bait article writers can create empty outrage by showing 5 seconds of video where a historical film clip of a Nazi rally transitions into an advertisement for cola. You know, despite the fact that an American soft drink advertisement plastered all over Nazi symbolism is probably the biggest middle finger society could ever possibly give to them.
That is a tricky question, Terms of service uses the term "Self-Destructive Behaviour" when referencing drugs. It says that any action that could endanger your life or others is against terms of service. This includes excessive drinking, and drug taking. Which could really mean that encouraging illegal drug use, or admitting to illegal drug use could be in trouble. Some streamers who live in countries or states where marijuana is legal do smoke on stream, however they need to write and make it very clear they are in a legal state or it could lead to a ban from staff members who are unsure. With all of this in mind, I'd say it is all about your phrasing and how you paint drugs. If you are encouraging them, you will most likely be in trouble. If you are discussing how to quit, and it is clearly a help stream then I'd say you're fine. Better safe than sorry on these topics with Twitch.
apparently, tos bans only apply to affiliates. ive seen a partnered streamer threaten death and r*pe on viewers, and receive no penalties, because he makes the platform money.
Report them, clip them, and share the clips publicly. Hold them and Twitch accountable, they will be banned. Look at Quinn69, he made terrible takes this past month, and has been banned for the awful things he said despite being huge.
Hey man, wondering how convert unique viewers into people who stick around? I don't get a chance to talk to them because I don't know they're there until they leave, how can I capture their attention? I recently got affiliate and am trying to grow more
keep talking as if you always have an audience. If you always assume or see that you have nobody watching then it will show, and then actual viewers who pop in will see that you arent talking and then leave. This channel has a bunch of other helpful videos about that! So dig around :)
@@ryanbaseball7629 Not lying to you, as far as I am aware if you have been suspended for being underage, as in under 13 years of age, they don't let you back onto the account. If they've changed something, then there ya go!
What if you’re streaming, and someone else joins you and they are also streaming, says a slur or something against TOS, would you also be banned for it or would only the other person be banned?
i’m not completely sure, but i think they’ll look it over and the other person would eventually get banned or suspended. you might get suspended for a bit but if you act immediately and get them out of the VC, you should be in the clear. i’m not an expert but if they ban your for someone else’s stream language, that shouldn’t be fair especially if it was out of character for them. this is just what i think, i’m not 100% sure though.
Then either don’t do live-streaming with the public/have a private world or have a UA-cam, where you can make compilations and edit anything out that would be deemed offensive or inappropriate
@@Sketchkat Thats what I had imagined at first but you never know whats going to happen since a live stream is literally live while its happening (Plus I dont have enough friends to not go to publics ;( )
I play with random of up to 30 people or more it's a bit difficult to handle people on what they say. But I try to moderate it all. I wish they added a mute all feature to games like SCP SL, the game I mainly stream
1:43 - not quite true. If you would say they are wrong and you are totally against it, and you hang up on them, you should be fine. They will be banned as a person on the platform, even if they don't have an account. They are not allowed to be presented in anyone's stream while banned, even if that's just their voice-otherwise the streamer they presented in a stream of, will be banned.
@@StreamScheme you sure? I'm not a streamer and all the information in my comment is coming from a streamer that has been streaming for the last 7 years, and I've heard this info quite a while ago. Also, if so, why not changing title or adding a UPD comment or something with updated info? (Edited: spelling)
What about stuff like "that scene" in Last of Us 2 or stuff drawn genitals when people play Jackbox Party Pack? I had a friend playing who kept drawing stuff like "bellend Barry" which while we all thought it was highly amusing.. I couldn't figure out if it was against ToS.. I do have the stream set to "mature audiences" but still
I had someone come into my charity stream while we were playing Jackbox. They immediately started throwing racist remarks through that. Its amazing the lengths that people go to to be edgy.
I can’t stream at all, as my video won’t play, but audio works really well. I have no clue why, but I have a good computer (built in 2016 DIY, and done well). How do I fix the video?

My baby cat Aisha was watching you so attentively that I think the next time I need to check whether my behavior is in line with Twitch streaming guidelines I should talk to her. D:
The part about being responsible for other's speech is annoying, and it's not even really specific to Twitch. Not being able to have hard discussions with or about people who have awful views is stifling to public discourse, and it's becoming harder and harder to even talk about these things online because of how paranoid all the major platforms are about superficially pissing off mindless, spineless, know-nothing advertisers. It's really disturbing how more and more channels that discuss history, philosophy, and politics have to _censor_ out swastikas and the word, "Nazi" for fear of angering the great algorithm :/ This is what happens when Pepsi gets to dictate what we talk about and bases their standards upon whether or not vapid, shallow, and spiteful click bait article writers can create empty outrage by showing 5 seconds of video where a historical film clip of a Nazi rally transitions into an advertisement for cola. You know, despite the fact that an American soft drink advertisement plastered all over Nazi symbolism is probably the biggest middle finger society could ever possibly give to them.
What's the policy/policies on talking about drugs? I understand you're not allowed to do any drugs on stream unless its legal.
That is a tricky question, Terms of service uses the term "Self-Destructive Behaviour" when referencing drugs. It says that any action that could endanger your life or others is against terms of service. This includes excessive drinking, and drug taking. Which could really mean that encouraging illegal drug use, or admitting to illegal drug use could be in trouble.
Some streamers who live in countries or states where marijuana is legal do smoke on stream, however they need to write and make it very clear they are in a legal state or it could lead to a ban from staff members who are unsure.
With all of this in mind, I'd say it is all about your phrasing and how you paint drugs. If you are encouraging them, you will most likely be in trouble. If you are discussing how to quit, and it is clearly a help stream then I'd say you're fine. Better safe than sorry on these topics with Twitch.
1:40 do these also apply to random teammates in online games?
As explained in the video, yes.
@@StreamScheme Sorry, didn’t quite understand it in the video. I will mute randoms for my onstream-output then.
Thanks again, pal! ^_^
Question. What if I am playing an online multiplayer game and the people say words such as the n-word?
apparently, tos bans only apply to affiliates. ive seen a partnered streamer threaten death and r*pe on viewers, and receive no penalties, because he makes the platform money.
Report them, clip them, and share the clips publicly. Hold them and Twitch accountable, they will be banned.
Look at Quinn69, he made terrible takes this past month, and has been banned for the awful things he said despite being huge.
Hey man, wondering how convert unique viewers into people who stick around? I don't get a chance to talk to them because I don't know they're there until they leave, how can I capture their attention? I recently got affiliate and am trying to grow more
keep talking as if you always have an audience. If you always assume or see that you have nobody watching then it will show, and then actual viewers who pop in will see that you arent talking and then leave. This channel has a bunch of other helpful videos about that! So dig around :)
How long is a suspension for being under age on twitch? because 2 days I got affiliate then yesterday at 8:56 I got a suspension
You received a suspension for being under 13? They won’t let you back on, it’s against terms of service.
For real
Bruh I had everything on that account
I look it up it's 30 days stop the cap
@@ryanbaseball7629 Not lying to you, as far as I am aware if you have been suspended for being underage, as in under 13 years of age, they don't let you back onto the account.
If they've changed something, then there ya go!
What if you’re streaming, and someone else joins you and they are also streaming, says a slur or something against TOS, would you also be banned for it or would only the other person be banned?
i’m not completely sure, but i think they’ll look it over and the other person would eventually get banned or suspended. you might get suspended for a bit but if you act immediately and get them out of the VC, you should be in the clear. i’m not an expert but if they ban your for someone else’s stream language, that shouldn’t be fair especially if it was out of character for them. this is just what i think, i’m not 100% sure though.
Thank you!
Hope it helps!
Okay. So just be a decent human being. Got it! Thank you.
Surprisingly not hard right? Hahaha
this was helpful
thanks for this
This can be hard being a VRchat twitch streamer when you go to public worlds and your around 20 to 30 people who wouldn’t know your streaming.
Then either don’t do live-streaming with the public/have a private world or have a UA-cam, where you can make compilations and edit anything out that would be deemed offensive or inappropriate
@@Sketchkat Thats what I had imagined at first but you never know whats going to happen since a live stream is literally live while its happening (Plus I dont have enough friends to not go to publics ;( )
Can you say banned words in foreign languages?
I just started streaming so this is gonna be helpful
I play with random of up to 30 people or more it's a bit difficult to handle people on what they say. But I try to moderate it all. I wish they added a mute all feature to games like SCP SL, the game I mainly stream
Thank you 😊🙌💕✨
You also can get banned for just implying these things or if one of them can be taken the wrong way.
Such as double/tripple entendres.
I have a potty mouth thank you for making this haha
1:06
Whole YRG getting banned
The aussie non stop swearing is relatable
Although when i stream i keep myself rather tame one time have i ever sworn on stream by accident
What background song is this?
1:43 - not quite true. If you would say they are wrong and you are totally against it, and you hang up on them, you should be fine. They will be banned as a person on the platform, even if they don't have an account. They are not allowed to be presented in anyone's stream while banned, even if that's just their voice-otherwise the streamer they presented in a stream of, will be banned.
This video was accurate in release, since release twitch has changed the rules to be more flexible.
@@StreamScheme you sure? I'm not a streamer and all the information in my comment is coming from a streamer that has been streaming for the last 7 years, and I've heard this info quite a while ago.
Also, if so, why not changing title or adding a UPD comment or something with updated info?
(Edited: spelling)
If it is set to public will I be able to see it? and will it show up on my stream if I have a widget on?
Why the word moist 🤣🤣🤣
What if you delete the video before you end stream do still get in trouble for saying wrong word or phrase
A Modern Warfare 2 lobby has stepped into the chat
I need help:
I have commented someone that there chat was boring they banned myself I am new on twitch but I don't understand why that happened?
You were rude :) so the steamer banned you.
@@StreamScheme I didn't mean to say that I didn't mean to offend anyone how long until they unban me?
What about stuff like "that scene" in Last of Us 2 or stuff drawn genitals when people play Jackbox Party Pack? I had a friend playing who kept drawing stuff like "bellend Barry" which while we all thought it was highly amusing.. I couldn't figure out if it was against ToS.. I do have the stream set to "mature audiences" but still
I would like to know as well
I had someone come into my charity stream while we were playing Jackbox. They immediately started throwing racist remarks through that. Its amazing the lengths that people go to to be edgy.
I can’t stream at all, as my video won’t play, but audio works really well. I have no clue why, but I have a good computer (built in 2016 DIY, and done well). How do I fix the video?
