It's free, and you don't have to download anything to use it either. I placed it on top because, unlike the other methods, you can easily unfollow hundreds of accounts at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be careful before you remove Twitch followers, though. There's no way to undo what you did unless the users that you removed end up following again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here's how you can use the tool to remove just 1 user:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitch-tools.rootonline.de\/follower_remover.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">CommanderRoot website<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the Login Via Twitch Account button<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the Authorize button to give the tool access to your account<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You should see the page load with a list of all of your Twitch followers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find the specific user that you want to remove<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap on the Red box that is next to their name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the Remove Follow button to confirm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As I said, you can use the tool to mass remove followers. Here's how you can do this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Go to the CommanderRoot follower list<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the Filter Results button that's in the top right corner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Filter your Twitch followers according to specific dates, or any other criteria, like when they created their account (this filter tool is especially useful if you're dealing with bot accounts, as you can go to the exact day that you were botted and remove all of the accounts from your Twitch channel)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You should see a comprehensive list of all the Twitch followers that meet the filter criteria (if you see some names in orange, these are all the accounts that are fake that the tool managed to find)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on Remove to get rid of them from your Twitch channel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you were botted but don't remember the day it happened, there's actually a special option in the filter list that can help. It will show you the days that you got a lot of followers, so definitely look for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_2_Block_Your_Followers\"><\/span>Method 2: Block Your Followers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Blocking your followers is another route that you can take. It'll be easier compared to the above method if you only want to remove one or two followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should be careful before you block a user, though, as you'll limit how they'll be able to interact with your channel. They won't be able to buy subscriptions, or gift subs to other users. If you're going to be blocking follow bots\/ fake followers, though, this won't be a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here's 1 method to try:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Type in \/Block [User's name] into your chat panel and then click send<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here's another:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>From the official Twitch website or app, head to your Twitch stream chat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find the Twitch account that you want to remove<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on their name and then select the Block User option, and then confirm to have them instantly blocked<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you ever want to unblock the user, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Type in \/Unblock [User's name], and then click send<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here's another way that you can try:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Log into your official Twitch account, and then go to your account Security and Privacy settings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scroll down and then click on the Show Blocked Users option<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find the specific user that you want to unblock, and then click on the trashcan that is next to their name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm the change<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_3_Ban_Users\"><\/span>Method 3: Ban Users<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don't want to try the above 2 tricks out, you can always ban the follower from your chat. Also, your moderators would be able to do this instead of you. So, you can leave it to them to handle if you're busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike with blocking, the user would <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/twitch-makes-blocking-and-banning-more-powerful-adds-new-mod-tools\/\">still be able to whisper<\/a> and talk to you on channels that aren't yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here's what you do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Type \/Ban [Username], and then click the send button<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you ever want to unban, you can do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Type in \/Unban [Username] and then click send to unban<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Gamer-Playing-Games-with-Gaming-Keyboard-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Gamer Playing Games with Gaming Keyboard\" class=\"wp-image-6150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Gamer-Playing-Games-with-Gaming-Keyboard.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Gamer-Playing-Games-with-Gaming-Keyboard-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Gamer-Playing-Games-with-Gaming-Keyboard-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Ban_Someone_From_Watching_Your_Twitch_Streams\"><\/span>Can You Ban Someone From Watching Your Twitch Streams?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There's no way to ban users from watching your Twitch streams. Even if you were to ban them from your channel, they would still be able to see your live stream. But of course, they wouldn't be able to text on your chat or see the messages on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing is, even if you ban a user, you can't stop them from potentially making new accounts. So, they would still be able to get on the stream chat and interact with you while live streaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you're asking yourself what about private streams, Twitch doesn't necessarily have this feature. The closest possible option would be <a href=\"https:\/\/help.twitch.tv\/s\/article\/subscriber-streams?language=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">subscriber-only<\/a> streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span>FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Answered below are some popular questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Do_Followers_Matter_on_Twitch\"><\/span>1. Do Followers Matter on Twitch?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your followers do matter if you're thinking about reaching affiliate or Partner status (more so for the latter). The two are basically achievements that you can unlock that will give you access to monetization tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With either of them, Twitch wants to see if you have an audience. It's especially hard to reach Partner status, as they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/p\/en\/partners\/faq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">manually go through<\/a> your application and look at your community and content quality. So, yes, followers do matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Why_Should_You_Remove_Bot_Accounts\"><\/span>2. Why Should You Remove Bot Accounts?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you got follow botted, you might be wondering whether removing the bots would be a good idea. After all, you would've at least gained a couple of hundred new followers. Twitch specifically says that they don't penalize anyone for the actions of others, so you <a href=\"https:\/\/help.twitch.tv\/s\/article\/how-to-handle-view-follow-bots?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">won't get in trouble<\/a> for getting botted by another user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But keeping the bots on your account isn't smart - you'll decrease your Twitch channel engagement. Like other social media platforms, you need active viewers to interact with ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_What_Do_You_Do_if_You_Cant_Block_a_User_on_Twitch\"><\/span>3. What Do You Do if You Can't Block a User on Twitch?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Quite a few users have complained about not being able to block users before. Although I've never dealt with this problem, I know a few users who have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost always, the problem is due to some kind of glitch. You should be able to fix it by refreshing the Twitch page if you're on your computer. Now, if you're using the app and are having issues blocking someone, you will have to force quit it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Teenage-Boy-Playing-Live-PC-Game-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Teenage Boy Playing Live PC Game\" class=\"wp-image-6149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Teenage-Boy-Playing-Live-PC-Game.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Teenage-Boy-Playing-Live-PC-Game-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Teenage-Boy-Playing-Live-PC-Game-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more resources<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 3 different ways that you can remove Twitch followers: using third-party tools, blocking the user, or banning them. Once you delete followers, you won't get them back unless they decide to re-follow. So, think about whether this would be ideal. But going ahead with this is smart if you've been a victim of follow botting while live streaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of removing someone from your followers list, you might be wondering if there's a way to stop users from watching your streams. Even when you ban a user, they would still be able to watch you when you're streaming live.
