Twitch replaces its mature content mode with more granular 'labels'
Categories include sexual themes, gambling and significant profanity or vulgarity.Twitch has overhauled its mature content policies, switching from a general toggle to specific categories describing what viewers can expect. The neware mature-rated games, sexual themes, significant profanity or vulgarity, gambling, violent and graphic depictions and, lastly, drugs, intoxication or excessive tobacco use.
The ratings apply to both the game and you. For example, if you're playing a mature-rated game, Twitch will automatically label it as such. But, if you're playing an E-rated game and excessively swearing, you will need to mark your stream as having significant profanity or vulgarity. In general, it's pretty obvious when to use a label based on their names, but Twitch'sbreak down when to use each one in incredible detail .
You can access Content Classification Labels in the Stream Manager's"Edit Stream Info" section below the language control. A pull-down menu will show the six options with a short description following each. All you need to do is click whichever applies to your current stream and, if it changes, add or remove them as you go. Keep in mind that whatever labels remain checked when you end a stream will be automatically applied to your next one unless you unclick them.
