| style="background-color:#9ff;" | With an August 2022 update, streamers can apply any tags they like to their stream, with very few restrictions. This custom tagging system can be used to indicate the streamer's gender, pronouns, and/or anything else they feel is important. Non-streaming users do not have access to tags, but they may specify their gender and pronouns in their account bio. When the interface refers to users it uses [[singular they]] (e.g. "This is their first gift sub in the channel.")
