Watching your favorite Twitch streamers in Mod View helps keep the chat under control, but sometimes you need to switch back to the regular viewing experience. Let me walk you through the simple process of exiting Mod View on Twitch.
Quick Steps to Exit Mod View
The fastest way to exit Mod View is to look for the “Exit Mod View” button in the top-right corner of your screen. Just click that, and you’ll return to the standard Twitch viewing experience. If you can’t spot it right away, don’t worry – it’s that purple button with the ‘X’ icon.
Alternative Methods
Sometimes the direct approach isn’t working, or maybe you’re looking for a different way. Here are some reliable alternatives:
Using the URL Method
Simply remove “/mod” from the end of the URL in your browser’s address bar. So if you’re at “twitch.tv/channelname/mod”, just delete the “/mod” part and press Enter. This takes you right back to the regular view.
Through Channel Settings
You can also exit Mod View by clicking on the channel settings (the gear icon) and looking for the Mod View toggle. Switching this off will return you to normal viewing mode.
Common Issues and Solutions
I’ve noticed some users occasionally get stuck in Mod View. If you’re experiencing this, try:
– Refreshing your browser
– Clearing your browser cache
– Logging out and back into Twitch
– Using a different browser temporarily
Tips for Efficient Moderating
Here’s a pro tip I’ve learned from experience: before exiting Mod View, make sure you’ve completed any ongoing moderation tasks. The regular view doesn’t offer the same comprehensive moderation tools, so it’s best to finish up before switching.
Keyboard Shortcuts
While in Mod View, you can use the keyboard shortcut ‘ESC’ to quickly exit – though this doesn’t work in all browsers. I find it particularly handy when I need to switch views rapidly during busy streams.
Remember, you can always return to Mod View by clicking the “Mod View” option in the channel’s settings or by adding “/mod” to the channel URL. Don’t feel like you’re locked into one viewing mode or the other – switch between them as needed to make your moderation experience more effective and enjoyable.
