Twitch has introduced new content classification labels that streamers have to apply to their stream. They cover a whole range of items including violence, profanity, tobacco use, gambling, and more.
Twitch has announced that it will be replacing the Mature Content toggle with new Content Classification Labels. It said that content containing the following items and themes will be marked with the label to help people avoid mature content:
Mature-Rated Games
Sexual Themes
Drugs, Intoxication, or Excessive Tobacco Use
Violent and Graphic Depictions
Significant Profanity or Vulgarity
Gambling
Labelling a stream isn’t difficult to do for content creators, they just need to go into the Stream Manager, head to Edit Stream Info and look for Content Classification. From a drop-down, they can apply all the labels that are relevant.
After a stream ends, the labels will be carried over to the next stream unless they’re manually removed.
