Many streamers face issues like harassment, bullying, etc., in their chatbox. Looking at this situation, they want to ban those viewers immediately as they can affect the reputation of the streamers. Therefore, Twitch has given a command to the streamers where their mod can “timeout” someone in just a few clicks.
Do you know what it is? “Timeout” is another word for “ban”. You can give the command to your mod so that it can ban some viewers from the chatbox.
