bring back VODS with chat on console apps
in what world would somebody want a downgraded watered down version of the app where you can't read Chat, the entire other vital half of a stream
why would you even think to take it away even for a fraction of a second, let alone having versions of the app already without it
Admin audit: removed unnecessarily derogatory portion of title

You used to be able to see the VOD chat on ps5 until about 4 months ago when they released an update which changed the UI as well. Idk if it affects other consoles but I don’t have this problem on any other device.

VoD chat replay now does not exist when it was fine in the previous app version. Also, I now need to use a phone to chat on a live stream when it worked just fine in the previous app version. Do you not QA test these updates?

This update just got forced on me on PS5. Instead of an update giving us features we have never had (animated emotes, polls, channel point redemptions, raids), they opted to… remove a bunch of features we already had, including integral parts of Twitch like chat playback on VODs, and even the ability to chat itself.
Is there a reason Twitch is trying to force us to watch on tiny screens instead of up on the TV from the comfort of our couch? We’ve long since accepted we won’t get any new features, but at the very least revert the update to the previous version and give back what you took away.

Bring back the chat on VODs for Xbox

The recent update substantially changed the user experience, at least on Xbox. First, VOD chat is no longer visible in app. Many of the creators I watch interact with chat. Without chat it can be hard to follow what the creator is referencing or riffing on. It's a big part of the viewing experience. I'm unsure why it was removed since community is such a big part of the Twitch experience.
