Not all streams include this option, and those that do may not do it all the time. There may also be additional restrictions depending on the channel, like they may only accept requests from long-time subscribers, or they may moderate requests to avoid copyrighted music. Music requests are handled on Twitch through chat bots, with the two most common bots being Nightbot and Moobot. To request a song, you need to identify which chat bot the channel is using, and then enter a command into the Twitch chat that the bot will understand. Not sure what bot a channel uses? Click the active viewers icon in Twitch chat, and check the moderators section for Nightbot or Moobot. You may also see the bot say something in chat whenever song requests are active.
