(CTN News) – Although Twitch’s chat ban tools have been around for a long time, the platform is about to give streamers a way to control who will be allowed to watch a stream in the first place. On Twitch’s latest episode of Patch Notes, its monthly product update show, the company announced that in the future, streamers will be able to block banned users from viewing their streams. In the event that moderators or streamers enable this feature, banned users will not only be booted out of chat, but they will also be booted out of the livestream itself as soon as it starts. With the new anti-harassment feature on the way in the next few weeks, Twitch will be able to include its new anti-harassment features as a built-in feature of its blocking tools, preventing blocked users from viewing streams automatically as part of the new feature. As soon as users are banned, this feature will not be enabled by default, but streamers will be able to toggle it on and off within the moderation settings by selecting it from the moderation menu. During this week’s Twitch Patch Notes stream, Twitch Senior Product Manager Trevor Fisher explained that

A new update rolling out on Twitch will soon give content creators a tool to further punish users that have been banned from their channels. Highlights Twitch is introducing a new tool to prevent banned users from watching live streams, which has been well-received by streamers on social media. The new feature will be rolled out to all streamers in September and will instantly block banned users from watching, though they can still watch past broadcasts. Twitch will consider expanding the functionality to block logged-out users and is open to user feedback for handling banned users in the future. Over the coming weeks, Twitch will roll out a new, optional tool for content creators to use that will prevent banned users from watching a live stream in addition to a chat ban. According to Twitch, the new feature will be rolled out to all streamers over the course of September. News of this feature was well-received on social media, with most Twitch streamers calling it a long-overdue addition to the service. During TwitchCon Paris in July, Twitch revealed a feature inspired by Snapchat that allows content creators to post stories that will last only 24 hours on desktop and mobile.

These Popular Twitch Streamers Are Now Working With KickTwitch is still the most popular destination for streamers, but these stars have recently started producing content for Kick (and some will surprise you).Source: InstagramNinja (left), Amouranth (center), Adin Ross (right)There’s no doubt that Twitch is still the primary destination for streamers.

MoistCr1TiKal announces that he's "amicably" parted ways with Twitch, marking the news with debut YouTube stream. Twitch has been losing several notable streamers over the last few months, with many leaving to go to Kick. However, the latest departure is a bit different as MoistCr1TiKal announced in a new YouTube video titled "Goodbye Twitch" that his contract "has been terminated, amicably, between and Twitch." If you've been following MoistCr1TiKal, this news isn't overly surprising because earlier this year, he did say he wanted to be more flexible and stream across several different platforms; however, it is yet another streamer leaving an exclusive deal with Twitch.Of course, the caveat here is that Cr1TiKal can still stream on Twitch if he wants to. In fact, the streamer, whose real name is Charlie White, made it clear that Twitch let him out of his contract despite there being "a lot of time" remaining on the deal. That likely points to White being someone who starts to stream all over the place, instead of going out and immediately signing a new deal with someone else.As White said himself, "This isn't like a Lebron James 'The Decision' moment where coming up here and

Controversial streamer IShowSpeed is back at it again with yet another NSFW headline. While playing a game in the Five Nights At Freddy’s franchise, Speed was jumpscared. He reacted in his usual over-the-top way, screaming and jumping up and down. The problem was that his erect penis was sticking out of his shorts and was clearly visible as he jumped up and down in front of the camera. Speed only appeared to realize this when he sat down and caught sight of the footage on his second monitor. Speed was reportedly streaming on Twitch. While it has not been announced yet, the streamer can likely expect a near-permanent ban in the coming days. Furthermore, many people responding to the footage have joked that this will all but confirm Speed’s move to Kick. Kick is known (and notorious for) its lack of content moderation. However, Kick still does have limits. Those limits are namely things that could get the site age-restricted, or shut down. This list includes things such as playing copyrighted content, things such as violent real-world content, and sexual content. The latter of these is perhaps the most important as sexual content could see the site become age-restricted, which
