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.

    Please update this to be movable can't see necessary items. Boost, ammo, health on PUBG.
  • lance commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can't see health in PUBG. So you just have to guess how much boost you have. Really dumb. Make it movable at least

    This bar makes things very hard for me streaming RPGs where i cant see the dialogue, my health, where im supposed to be going, etc. this needs to change

  • Caleb Allen commented  ·   ·  Report

    This fix is incredibly necessary, I can't see my health in Battlefront 2.

    Please give us the option to remove the status bar. I burned an outline in to my plasma. Luckily it repeated it self after normal tv watching. But the bar is intusive to game play and for those who use plasmas, it can hurt their tv !

  • Jordan Chatwin commented  ·   ·  Report

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET THIS CHANGED!!! It makes streaming PUBG almost impossible due to it covering your ammo count, health and boost bars!
  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    You can stream on it. Keep a mag ammo count in your head. If that’s all that bothers you about it, it’s not too bad. I would love to be able to move it but it’s not ruined at all for me. Yes, they should fix it though for sure.
