Streamers with small and large audiences benefit from having a 'mod' handle the chat, to ensure the stream is peaceful. Here's how to mod someone on Twitch.

Twitch has launched a new channel mode, dubbed Mod View, for moderators of livestream sessions, making it easier to reward or ban fans.

Twitch also unveiled a new "Mod View" for channel moderators yesterday, which promises to simply the lives of people responsible for keeping chat channels reasonably clean and functional.

Twitch promises that this is just the beginning and that more widgets will be added in the future. For everything else, there'll always be those chat commands.
