Can't do 4K steams AFAIK.
Cannot stream without giving them your phone number.

It seems you can again, I wonder if it'll last. I don't want to keep coming back to update.
Can't bring myself to raise it past 2-3 stars though, because they want to decide what you find appropriate or not for you, and enforce that over you and your viewers.
They had many incidents already. So they are right.
often times "incidents" are "artificial" to impose tyranny.
Twitch is useless due to artificial message quantity limits which limit social interaction and organic growth. How is being able to message only a few dozen people, before messaging disabled, constitute social media? Makes zero sense. Most of the people who you message on twitch likely aren't even actively online at the time that you message them to begin with. So of course, you're going to need to send more than a few dozen message especially since it seems that users have been conditioned to assume that most messages are bogus. Such conditioning could've only came from twitch itself. To limit and restrict social interaction and organic growth.
Love the community management tools and customizability of profile page. They’re ahead of YouTube Live in many regards. I want to see higher bitrate limits, 8000kbps is too low in 2023.
amazing for streaming or watching you fav gamer
I love watch steams evert day. Better than stupid show at youtube.
Twitch participates in active censorship because of their vague TOS. People should not be willing to support them financially. The only good thing about it is that virtually the entire streaming audience lands on this one site.
