    3 years since this idea was published and still nothing. I wonder when the Twitch app for Xbox will stop being just an experiment and become something serious.

    Now, this idea really belongs in the console section, but I believe it should be said here too.

    There is no way for Xbox streamers to see their chat comfortably, some streamers such as myself stream from their Xbox but have no real good way of seeing the chat while gaming. I have seen this been brought up and talked about among other Xbox streamers, as well as streamers for other consoles as well. It's a widespread issue that hinders the quality of the stream for console streamers and viewers alike.
    It's hard for a streamer on a console to interact with their viewers when they don't have the ability to see what they say. The only way I've been able to overcome this issue is by running the stream on my phone, which even then isn't a viable option 100% of the time.

    I hope you consider this idea, it would mean a lot to me and many other streamers.

    Thank you.

    (edit: they merged my idea into this one lol)

    Would it be a chat bot feature for Xbox while streaming on twitch

    PS5 chat "bubbles" are so f'n small, people can't type in more than 60 keystrokes before it's cut off and lost....Needs to be a side bar/box on the right middle side that keeps the chat active/scrolling so it can be watched....

    Can you add chat box for the Xbox so console streamers read there chat
  • TheRealMoldyCheese commented  ·   ·  Report

    on console like Xbox make it so you can see chat on on the side of the screen while your in a game so you don't need a second device to see chat

    Annoyingly enough at first Twitch did have a chat box feature for Xbox not sure on PS but they removed it to get people downloading the Twitch app instead. Wasn't the best as you could only see chat if you for example on Xbox if you pressed the Home button but it was there so Twitch could easily implement it in a better way as it would be a lot easier

    Give Console streamers the power to see their own chat

    Fix this. How can you grow if you alientate an entire console base?

    Xbox and Twitch need to work on this resolution. Recording DVR doesnt capture game chat and neither does twitch. Its a no win situation for up and coming streamers.

    Yes please I use a sound board in game chat and my streams aren't nearly as funny since you just hear me play my sound board and can't hear why I'm playing it or the funny stuff that conversation that happens because of it

    My friend and I just downloaded twitch and made an account on our Xbox consoles so we can help each other out but neither I or her can see each other's chat rooms why is that how are we supposed to help each other out if we cannot see the chat rooms I wish twitch would fix that I mean mixer had it and yet they took it away

    We really need to have the chat box on screen while streaming on xbox because we have to look away mid game to check the chat on other devices which doesn't seem efficient.
