Troubleshooting Twitch Chat Font Size on Desktop and Mobile

How to Change Twitch Chat Font Size: Step‑by‑Step Guide

1) Twitch web (desktop browser)

  1. Open Twitch and sign in.
  2. Join a channel and locate the chat panel on the right.
  3. Click the gear icon (Chat Settings) at the bottom of the chat.
  4. Under Font Size, choose Small, Medium, Large, or Extra Large. Changes apply immediately.

2) Twitch desktop app (Windows/macOS)

  1. Open the Twitch app and sign in.
  2. Open a channel and click the gear icon in chat.
  3. Select Font Size and pick Small / Medium / Large / Extra Large.

3) Twitch mobile app (iOS/Android)

  1. Open the Twitch app and sign in.
  2. Open a stream, tap the chat to bring up chat controls.
  3. Tap the gear icon (top-right of chat) → Font Size → choose size.
  4. 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.
