  1. Change the app back to how it use to be on xbox series. It updated and it's horrible. Had to relog in. You have to scan a qr code to chat which is ridiculous. The categories are randomly scattered and in no order which you can't change. Categories and streams are surround by a blinding white box now and everything seems jumbled together. I swear a room full of 3 year Olds designed this new layout. NOTHING about it is better.

  2. The new update on PS5 makes you scan a QR code and forces you to chat thru your phone. Why this was implemented is beyond me. If we wanted to use our phones we would. What if a user doesn't have a phone? The update literally makes watching on PS5 pointless if you like to chat.

  3. The fact that you guys took away to ability to chat for people on console just seems bad to be honest. Not everyone can afford a mobile phone or even a pc, I would love to see this feature come back.

  4. Change the app back to how it was, as the most recent update has ruined the app VOD now no longer has chat visible. The continue watching section is gone and the app can no longer be controlled via remote and must be controlled with a controller. The whole app is much slower to use and feels like it is struggling. Please revert it to how it was as although the last version was not perfect, it worked considerably better than this one.

  5. Not sure if the PS4 Version was updated or not but I will assume that it was.

    The update basically made the app terrible; no more "Continue Watching", streamers "All Videos" have about 10-12 with no way of looking at all past streams, App no longer remembers the last quality setting you used it always defaults to auto, can't press square to open chat anymore, home screen is a cluttered mess, switching tabs to following or any other feels laggy and looks choppy.

    What happened? The app looks and feels like a ****** smart tv app, please consider rolling back…

  6. in what world would somebody want a downgraded watered down version of the app where you can't read Chat, the entire other vital half of a stream
    why would you even think to take it away even for a fraction of a second, let alone having versions of the app already without it

    Admin audit: removed unnecessarily derogatory portion of title

  7. Be able to live streaming on Twitch and chat on Twitch app on Nintendo Switch consoles when using the app on Nintendo Switch.

    Like you can do on other consoles Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 consoles.

  8. There's no reason the Series X/S can't stream at 60 FPS in 2022. I use Lightstream and despite offering 60 FPS as a subscription, it doesn't work due to the Twitch app not being updated to handle it.

  9. Not being able to chat on console is an issue. I like the idea of the phone chat option but keep it just that; an option.
    Not being able to tab full screen and chat using Square button is frustrating. Having to search for full screen and chat tab is frustrating.
    Square no longer has an input command.
    New home page seems cluttered and messy compared with previous version.
    In summary, simple is better and being able utilize controller to tab fullscreen and to chat worked just fine in the previous version.

    I do thank you for removing the double…

  10. Xbox users need the ability to show their twitch chat on screen So we do not have to look away to talk with our cat it would be way easier to have a transparent window that shows us the chat off to the side. I know this is possible because playstation's app allows them to do that my friend says it all the time and can chat with his viewers without looking away. Please Twitch give us this feature thank you..

  12. Compared to Playstation, Xbox is a basic app. See number of viewers doesn’t even keep up with the stream live on my phone. I have to keep my phone open on Xbox to see the chat. Playstation allows Twitch chat to show up briefly on screen. Please give Xbox some love by working with Xbox. I have games on both systems. I love streaming for my friends but AVOID Xbox for this know bug. I’ve reset my Xbox to factory and still doesn’t fix it. Never had this issue before.

  13. The twitch app for switch has some issues - after a channel plays adds it will force you to leave the channel and return- sometimes more than once to resume stream. Please resolve.

    Also something to help buffer would be nice as well as pause buffer doesnt work.

  14. It would be great to go full screen camera so we can have just chatting sessions with our communities, at least since we can’t react to other content like Youtube, console streaming could be easier for everyone

  15. Current app update on xbox requires a user to scan a qr code then use a mobile device in order to type in chat. The ability to type in chat should be native to the Xbox app and not require external devices.

  18. So essentially just allow the Twitch app to broadcast Microsoft Edge to allow further expansion on Xbox streaming. Creators can use this to play GeForce Now games along with do commentary on videos, etc. etc.

  19. Current app is bad. I often return to "home" when I don't want to. There's no volume adjust or subscribe button. The worst thing being unable to chat.

    Update the app to at least allow text chatting like last time. It would be better now especially when we can use the keyboard on xbox now.
