Understand while you are connecting to the TMI with an IRC client, it’s not IRC. It’s Twitch Messaging Interface (TMI).

running /quote CAP REQ :twitch.tv/membership or /raw CAP REQ :twitch.tv/membership

  • Adds membership state event (NAMES, JOIN, PART, or MODE) functionality. By default we do not send this data to clients without this capability.

Notes:

  • If there are greater than 1000 chatters in a room, NAMES will only return the list of OPs currently in the room
  • Due to caching, events are not sent immediately to a channel. They are instead batched up and sent every 10 seconds.
  • WHO is unsupported
  • All elevated users are given OP. To determine a user’s actual elevation level, request the tags capability and parse the user-type tag
