I can’t be the only one asking this but I successfully moved my streams to Twitch. But the chat only displays the username not there real name like Facebook. This becomes an issue when your audience participates in the stream. Is there anyway in the near future you can update the chat to show the real names of users?

thx RD

Feature requests should be sent to

[https://twitch.uservoice.com/](https://twitch.uservoice.com/)

Not this third party developers support forum

All requests for features need to go through User Voice [https://twitch.uservoice.com/](https://twitch.uservoice.com/)

But Twitch is a different platform and community. Most users go by a “Handle” not real names on the platform.
