I can’t seem to find this answer in the TOS/docs, but I am wondering if it’s a violation of the API TOS if I were to create an application that only plays the audio of a Twitch stream? The video wouldn’t display at all. I wouldn’t be manipulating the stream in anyway, just not displaying the video.

That may come under

```auto
Requirements for Specific Features and APIs

1. Embeddable Experiences

```

> **[Twitch.tv - Developer Agreement](https://www.twitch.tv/p/en/legal/developer-agreement/)**

Since “audio only” isn’t normally a “quality” availble to desktop environments.

**Admin note** : Tweaked your title to be less “panicy”
