Not really a new idea, but it's one that's been going for close to 2 years already. When Twitch revamped it's site to be functional only through Javascript, the PS4 app got an update to fix that problem after a few months of being broken, however the PS3 app was left in the dust... I went over this for weeks with Twitch reps & got an unsatisfactory response stating that they were choosing not to fix it. I replied to that response stating that I had a petition started to show others that wanted it fixed, it was stated to me that I would need to direct that petition to these boards to have it considered. I decided to wait until I had at least 100 signatures before I would supply it as support towards getting the issue fixed. As of 2 days ago, that petition now has 100 digital signatures (expected to continue rising as the app continues to remain broken) & can be found at https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/fix-the-ps3-twitchtv-app . Additionally, I have this petition linked off of my own channel in a rather large list of public suggestions meant to be directed at Twitch developers, as well as on my Twitch blog on Blogspot (also linked off of my own channel & through a !blog chat command with StreamElements).

For example: I love playing TESV: Skyrim.
The broadcaster's overlay used to be in the lower center of the screen, blocking view of the HEALTH bar. Now it's in the lower right of the screen, blocking view of the MONEY during trading. I cannot use the current Xbox One Twitch app to directly stream Skyrim.

Pick any game. Pick your favorite game. Its Heads Up Display and various menus shows critical information to the player during the process of playing the game. The current Twitch broadcasting overlay takes access to that information away from a streamer. We want access to that information back. Here's how:

1. Please allow the broadcasting overlay to be moved. We'll appreciate the option to place that purple bar anywhere on the screen.
2. The overlay is not required to stay opaque. If it were available to be made transparent with a slider, that'd be most beneficial.
3. Included in #2 the slider should include complete invisibility, for when we just don't care to see it at all.
4. It'd also be nice to alternatively switch the bar into the simplest of "Live" red dots, also moveable and with the function of an opacity slider.

We'll all greatly enjoy these huge but simple improvements to the Xbox One broadcasting overlay. Thank you!

Please allow Xbox streamers to move or hide the viewer bar. I have not been streaming for long but immediately after starting my first stream I did a search for how to remove the viewer bar from the middle of the screen when streaming. I figured I was just not seeing the toggle or option for such a fundamentally necessary option. I then came across thousands of requests from others for the same thing. Requests dating back as far as a year ago, asking for the ability to at least hide it. It completely blocks critical information for a streaming player in certain games. Smite, in particular, has the health, mana, and experience bar directly behind where the Twitch viewer/uptime bar is located so in a fight, it's just a guess as to how you'll fare. I don't know much about programming but I can't imagine having the ability to hide that bar would be too taxing of a feature to incorporate into the Xbox Twitch app. I've spoken to over a dozen Xbox streamers who have expressed similar frustrations. Please, please, PLEASE, throw us a bone here and allow us to hide that bar. Thank you.

So as of now, if you're a streamer who uses multiple PSN ID's or XBox One Accounts, for whatever reason (Mine being my wife and I both play, and would both like to stream solo when the other isnt there, on our sites stream), you must jump through hoops to do so.

First you have to disable the currently linked account on the PC, then re-link the one you would like to use, every single time.

There must be a better way. Linking the authorization to the entire console, using broadcast keys, any number of other solutions.

The only other alternative is for the individual streamer to go drop $1000+ on a capture card, and streaming capable PC, which not a solution, at least not a realistic one for many of us, otherwise we'd just be PC Streamers.

The redesigned app on PS4 as of April 26th, 2018 has limited the amount of channels you can view when browsing games. Now you only see 3 channels at a time on screen. It doesn't matter if its on a 75" 4k or a smaller 43" 1080 or 4k screen.

This has made it a huge pain to browse to through dozens of channels to see if theres any specific one I want to browse. I'm much less apt to throw on a different game or new streamer now with this inability to navigate and browse streams with the redesign. I believe this is due to the redesign favoring pure aesthetics over actual functionality.

Please add an option to change channel view so anyone that may want to see more than 3 channels can toggle to a view similar to one of the older views, which was much more functional, or to see a grid of channels opposed to a side by side of enlarged square tiles.

The Twitch app for Xbox One needs to be redone. With the new Xbox One update coming in Spring this year, snap mode is no longer going to be a feature. There for when you unsnap, you have this broadcasting bar at the bottom of the screen that we can not move, witch covers up importen stuff for the game, rather is health, to dialog and so on. It really makes it hard to stream some games when you cant see there options. Now I wont lie, there going to be other option for broadcasting coming to Xbox and they let us move and that bar as well as let us see chat. But I like twitch more, and would love to keep broadcasting through twitch, but Twitch needs to update the broadcasting for Xbox so we can move that bar to some where else on the screen and able to see chat again. It going to be hard to on a streamer who only has an Xbox and no why to read chat along with other stuff.

The ability to toggle the streamer's on-screen viewer overlay on his screen, to off, or a smaller text, a moved text, or even just a red "Live" icon with a small text in a choice corner of the screen is more than enough. The placement is very intrusive, and misleading to someone who needs to see scanners, maps, health, and so on.

Many a time I have heard games exploding about "This friend is online" via the Xbox, but this does go away in seconds, so to put the Viewers count there, with a large ammount of text, that cant be toggled off seems silly to me.

Request: A feature in the snapp app, that;
1. Can disable the vViewer count overall.
2. Move the Viewer count.
3. Scale the viewer count.
4. Change the overlay to a red "Live" icon with the number only next to it. (Preferably placed via layout by user selection)
5. Simply change the layout to the "Viewers" icon, and the number alone. "Broadcasting" can be replaced with a red dot, and "Viewers" can be replaced with a tiny indicator, if necessary.

Thank you for your time, and I hope this doesn't cross deaf ears.
