I would love to see a platform like Lightstream for Twitch. Lightstream@Mixer allows console players to stream with overlays, notifications, camera, etc. without the requirements of a second monitor, computer or capture card. You simply sign in to your Lighstream account via phone, laptop, tablet or computer and set up your overlays and notifications (tons of options). Once you are ready to stream you just go live via the console Mixer app and everything you set up on Lightstream is active and showing. This eliminates the need for a computer to have overlays and notifications when streaming on the console. Please Twitch! Can we get a Lightstream application for Twitch?

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.
