However, it appears we can only select 1 at a time.

Sounds like you need. a uservoice - https://twitch.uservoice.com/

@Vizum

I was hoping we could use the developer badge with our other badges like “Listening Only” badge so we can better understand each other.

Twitch (at most) runs five badges in the following configuration

1. [selected prediction outcome]
2. [staff]
3. [channel rank (broadcaster/mod/vip)]
4. [subbadge]
5. [customisable slot]

The Game Developer badge (and listening only) falls into the final slot. As there is only the one customisable slot

I am the owner of an organization but I see no badge, I am the only member and have 2 approved games.

Its likely that your organization was registered as the wrong type. Please email developers@twitch.tv with your organization name and request the type to be changed to Game Developer.

[MrGoatsy]

I send them an email, but it says it will probably take a while due to the amount of emails they are getting.

They responded and it has been changed.

Hello,

Is there anything planned for software developers as well ? or testers ?

Thanks

[Marenthyu]

Anyone that is part of an Organization on Twitch that owns a game is eligible to use the Badge.

As an example, I am actually only a Translator for the Game I got the Badge for.

This answers your question

@sramirez

I do not see the toggle?

If you are an admin/owner and are not able to see the toggle option to enable badges for your organization, this may be due to the organization not being the correct type (Game Developer/Publisher). In most cases these organizations are categorized as brands and marketing organizations. If your organization has ownership of a game category on Twitch and would like to change your organizations type, please have the owner of the organization reach out to developers@twitch.tv and request a change to your organizations type.

Closing comments now that we’re 2 months past the announcement. It’s great to see the enthusiasm for this new feature! If you are a game developer and not seeing the setting to enable the chat badge, please remember that you must have ownership of a category/game available on Twitch.

If your Twitch organization does own a category and the setting is still not available in the developer console, you may reach out to the email address mentioned above to troubleshoot any issues. We will update this comment in the future if the method for support is updated.

For additional questions, feel free to open a new topic here on the forums or join the TwitchDev Discord server.
