How to Change Twitch Chat Font Size: Step‑by‑Step Guide
1) Twitch web (desktop browser)
- Open Twitch and sign in.
- Join a channel and locate the chat panel on the right.
- Click the gear icon (Chat Settings) at the bottom of the chat.
- Under Font Size, choose Small, Medium, Large, or Extra Large. Changes apply immediately.
2) Twitch desktop app (Windows/macOS)
- Open the Twitch app and sign in.
- Open a channel and click the gear icon in chat.
- Select Font Size and pick Small / Medium / Large / Extra Large.
3) Twitch mobile app (iOS/Android)
- Open the Twitch app and sign in.
- Open a stream, tap the chat to bring up chat controls.
- Tap the gear icon (top-right of chat) → Font Size → choose size.
- If your app version lacks this option, use your device Display/Text Size settings as a fallback.
4) If the built‑in options aren’t enough
- Browser zoom: Press Ctrl/Cmd + Plus/Minus to zoom the page (affects chat).
- Custom CSS (advanced): Use an extension like Stylus to inject CSS, e.g.:
css
.side-navchat .chat-scrollable-areamessage { font-size: 16px !important; }
- Browser extensions: Search for Twitch chat customization extensions (read reviews and permissions first).
5) Troubleshooting
- Changes not applying: Clear cache / reload Twitch or sign out/in.
- Mobile app missing setting: Update the app or reinstall.
- Extension/CSS not working: Disable other extensions that may conflict.
6) Quick recommendations
- For general readability: try Medium or Large.
- For crowded chat: Small or default plus increased browser zoom.
- For streamers: test different sizes on multiple devices to ensure chat visibility.
