This means that not only will they be unable to comment in the chat, as is the case currently, but <strong>they won&#8217;t even be able to watch the broadcast itself<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The specific streamer will have a button in their broadcasting panel to <strong>decide whether to enable this feature or not<\/strong>. If activated, when a blocked user attempts to access the particular stream, they will see nothing on the screen except a black background and a message indicating that they are banned by that profile.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">HUGE TWITCH UPDATE: When you block or ban someone, they\u2019ll no longer be able to view your stream! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hS1LOLrbqF\">pic.twitter.com\/hS1LOLrbqF<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Lowco ?\ufe0f (@LowcoTV) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LowcoTV\/status\/1691893134609813526?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 16, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not yet clear <strong>how this will affect video on demand and clips<\/strong>, as they may still be viewable.
