Hi, I would like to throw in another Feedback request for the Xbox One Twitch Experience. I have Signed up for the Beta via the Xbox Insider app. The one Key thing I find is really a hassle about the app is:

1. The Stream Overlay Bar, the Bar that tells you the time your live and how many viewers you have.

I have noticed a few people have already put in Idea requests for this and it has fallen unto deaf ears. One post that has been up here since November 8th 2015 stating my same issue has no resolution still. That is 5 years, and I feel something needs to be done.

So now to move into my rant about the blue overlay bar. Now the issue I have is basically every time I stream I have the blue bar show up. Now the only options I have with this bar is it blocks key elements of a game. For example blocking a map and or key text or a health bar and ammo bar. This is sort of annoying when trying to play a game.

Another issue that I notice with the overlay bar is that there is no way to interact with chat. The only customization options are to move the bar around in different locations on the screen this is not enough. I feel we should have the option to remove the bar, change the visibility or even change it to a small chat / overlay bar that can be moved or visibility can be changed. The reason why I ask for this is because it is a hassle trying to use different devices to interact with chat. For example a phone, computer or Ipad. Plus the chat interfaces on these devices refresh if you click out of them. This means I have missed chats and the ability to interact.

I am posting this feedback again hoping that something gets done or someone gives a reason why this hasn't been done.

I think the twitch app as well since mixer is gone can be a very powerful streaming asset for console users if only they made some key changes.

Hopefully something gets done and my post doesn't sit for 5 or more years like others.

I would like to see these ideas added to the xbox twitch app and make a way to add a snap feature back to xbox so I can see chat from stream on my tv. I would LOVE to go back to streaming from my console with out needing my desktop pc or lap top or tablet to make all that possible, plus I would LOVE to see a way to broadcast my stream but apply music to my stream and make it more personal for my viewers (like all the pros out there that do it every day and make my self more professional) with out any of this I have not streamed in 2 or 3 yrs its hard to stream when you cant see your chat room while streaming using the twitch app from/on console! Makes it very unfair if you ask me it shouldn't be this hard to stream with these missing features. If I could use my pandora app on xbox (as back ground music and have it applied to my stream) I would pay for a subscription to pandora! There has to be a way to make these idea's possible!

May we please get an update to HDR support for Xbox Series X Streams? It dims and darkens gameplay during live stream! I was hoping for a better experience transitioning from a BASE, again, I say BASE- Xbox one to an Xbox Series X. My buddy's Playstation 5's native twitch app runs beautifully at 1080P 60fps & with a tad bit runned down specs as opposed to the Xbox Series X's STILL 1080P @ 30FPS just like the xbox one application. All i'm saying is that you'd think with the new generation knocking at your doorstep we'd get some upgraded goodies. Hope ya'll working on fixes and updates ASAP!!!! :D

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!
