Chat overlay instead of screen size adjustment
Chat registers as an overlay (like YouTube) on the screen rather than making the stream a smaller size.
When viewing YouTube streaming, I find myself leaving chat on as it doesn’t affect the overall stream viewing as much as on twitch where the viewing screen adjusts to smaller size to accommodate chat. I typically leave chat off with twitch.
