0:00:10 > 0:00:13Hi, I'm Martin and this is Newsround.

0:00:13 > 0:00:16First, online gaming can be fun and chatting with your friends

0:00:16 > 0:00:20and other gamers during live streams is great, but what happens

0:00:20 > 0:00:22if messaging stops being friendly?

0:00:22 > 0:00:24Here's Ayshah.

0:00:24 > 0:00:28If you watch live stream games, then these might look familiar.

0:00:28 > 0:00:32Websites like Twitch and YouTube shown live game streams,

0:00:32 > 0:00:35and the viewers can talk to the people that are streaming

0:00:35 > 0:00:38and also for others that are watching, too.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40But it's easy for this chat to get toxic with people

0:00:40 > 0:00:47saying extreme things, just to get reactions.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51Someone who knows how hard it can be to manage a community

0:00:51 > 0:00:54is this YouTube streamer.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57There is a dark side to streaming and what people say

0:00:57 > 0:00:58online to each other.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Always, it is better to focus on the positives and,

0:01:00 > 0:01:03if there is negative feedback, you ban that person from the chat,

0:01:03 > 0:01:06you would know what they are saying, you just cut it out.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08In all honesty, it does become really difficult.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10When these viewer numbers go into the thousands

0:01:10 > 0:01:13and tens of thousands, that's a stadium full of people.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16That many people can't really communicate with one person or even

0:01:16 > 0:01:20with each other properly, so it does become a little crazy.

0:01:20 > 0:01:24I want to be able to look over to my chat and really interact

0:01:24 > 0:01:28with the audience and see what they are saying,

0:01:28 > 0:01:31be able to tell what people are thinking about what I'm doing

0:01:31 > 0:01:33rather than just discussing and arguing between themselves.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36With over 50 million daily users, Twitch is one of the biggest

0:01:36 > 0:01:38game streaming websites.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41I went to meet Chase to find out more.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44What about the people who are watching and they might see

0:01:44 > 0:01:47something that they don't like or get targeted in some way?

0:01:47 > 0:01:49What should they do?

0:01:49 > 0:01:53We have very detailed community guidelines that don't allow a lot

0:01:53 > 0:01:58of inappropriate behaviour from sexism to racism.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02When you see these rules being broken, you use the report button.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04We will research it, we will look into it.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07High street store Game recognises the need to make

0:02:07 > 0:02:09a safe place for gaming.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Can you tell me what Belong is?

0:02:11 > 0:02:13It's a physical space, so that's a big difference

0:02:13 > 0:02:15to being online straightaway.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18It's got staff here, so they are here to make sure

0:02:18 > 0:02:19that everyone is safe.

0:02:19 > 0:02:20We do have a code of conduct.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24We do make sure that people are being nice to each other, that,

0:02:24 > 0:02:26if things do go too far, they have dealt with.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29What can you do if you are a young person and you see some

0:02:29 > 0:02:32of the comments that come in on some of these big gaming sites?

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Know how to report it, know how to mute people,

0:02:35 > 0:02:38know there's no shame or guilt at all if something happens to them,

0:02:38 > 0:02:41in one of these games, to tell their parents or tell

0:02:41 > 0:02:42an adult or tell a teacher.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45We asked YouTube what they are doing to protect

0:02:45 > 0:02:46you online, and they said...

0:02:55 > 0:02:59They got great scores on this week, but how well do Gemma Atkinson
