Put your rules in Creator Dashboard → Settings → Moderation → Chat Rules. That’s the spot Twitch uses to show first-time chatters the rules before they can send a message.

Best place to use

  • Chat Rules for the main behavior expectations.
  • About panels if you want a longer, visible version on your channel page.
  • Pinned chat / bot command if you want viewers to see a quick reminder during streams.

Practical setup

  1. Keep the rules short and clear.
  2. Put the most important ones first.
  3. Save changes after editing.
  4. Reorder or remove rules later if needed.

Example rules

  • Be respectful.
  • No hate speech or harassment.
  • No spam or self-promo without permission.
  • Follow moderator decisions.

Twitch’s moderation help and community guidance both support using this area to set expectations and keep chat safe.
