Xbox One Disable/Change Viewer Overlay
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.
Hey everyone - Just wanted to pop in here and give you a response on this feedback. Unfortunately, after speaking with the associated teams here at Twitch, we are unable to action on these suggestions due to the Xbox overlay system being dictated by Microsoft. You can leave the Xbox team feedback here.
Apologies for the inconvenience, and thank you all for leaving us your feedback. If you have any additional suggestions for Twitch, please feel free to create a new post for us.

I have a plasma tv, I can't have a solid bar on the bottom or it'll burn my screen. It's absurd this hasn't changed in 3 years.

Yes, it needs a disable button.
It gets right in the way of ALL subtitles in every game.

The veiwer count overlay needs an option to be turned off, or made transparent. The overlay blocks VERY important aspects of almost every game i have attempted to stream. Usually covering up health bars, radars or maps

It is very shocking that this is not something you can fix, because the default broadcasting for xbox (mixer) allows this configuration.
