I cannot speak about Twitch videos since I do not visit Twitch. But I am on YouTube everyday and I have no problems with viewing their videos. And I can view them using Pale Moon with the linux distros of Mint, MX Linux and Debian.
MX Linux 23.6 (Libretto) Xfce w/Pale Moon, Waterfox, Firefox
Linux Debian 12.11 (Bookworm) Xfce w/Pale Moon, Waterfox, Firefox
