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.

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 think it would be really cool for twitch on console to be able to stream to twitch studio on the laptop to be edited, and then broadcast onto twitch. That would then again remove the need for use of a capture card.

The website lightstream intercepts your stream from your Xbox directly, letting you edit, create alerts and banners and fully customise what your stream looks like before streaming over to twitch. It’s a shame twitch cannot do this with studio yet because it would be better to just use twitch alone rather than a third party software.

Light Stream is also a paid service, this is also revenue Twitch could be making instead of a third party, or, twitch could offer this service for free along side its twitch prime/prime gaming subscription.
