Currently, if you visit a Twitch link on your phone, and that person is hosting someone, there's no way to see the original user's profile. This means that you can't see their info, you can't follow, you can't subscribe, etc.

With a huge amount of traffic coming from other platforms like TikTok, Twitter, etc. this means that many people are unable to follow a user if they visit a Twitch link on their phone.

The only way to get to the original user's profile is to close the video player, and then manually search for them again within the app. Essentially, links to a profile are useless if that user is hosting another person. It seems strange that there's no way to access a user's profile on mobile when they're hosting another user.

It would be awesome if you could allow people to see the ORIGINAL user's profile, follow them, etc. on the mobile app/site!

Please add the option to disable the video previews in the list of followed channels (added in a recent update). This "feature" only impedes my ability to browse my LONG list of followed channels, making the process of seeing who is online much more difficult and time-consuming. To be clear, I want text only, the way the list used to be. Please.

Upon updating the app, my immediate reaction was "this is annoying, I hate it; where is the option to revert this change?" However, combing through the options for the app does not appear to offer this option. Why are we not able to customize the app for personalized user experience?

Recently the following page on mobile was changed from a minimal layout to big video panes that play the stream just by scrolling past it..... Uhhhhh, so you're FORCING us to see spoilers on streams we may otherwise be avoiding for the time being. For example, Resident Evil 8 just came out, I've waited a long time for this game, and would purposely avoid watching any ads, trailers, reviews, etc. to save myself from spoilers. But just entering your app after the new update just spoiled big chunks of it. So the options to avoid such spoilers are unfollow everyone, delete and stop using the app, or achieve an optional layout as this is very undesirable. Not to mention it unnecessarily adds to data consumption.

The editable portion of the chat box contains not just the edit area but a bits button and an emote button. Typing on mobile can be tough and often I want to edit my message before posting to fix typos. After making edits in the middle of the message I often want to go to the end of the message and fix the last word or add something to the message.

The problem? It's very difficult, even if using a stylus, to get the edit caret to the end of the text because the bits button is there.

Since mobile devices have to use touch points, we need to have a bit of additional space between the end of the editable area and the bits button so that we can actually edit the end of the message. This is an issue Slack had when it put buttons in the edit box and was able to fix by making the edit area a bit shorter and the buttons a bit further to the right of the end of the edit box.

I am requesting the addition of some tappable space between the end of the editable area and the bits button. Alternately maybe the bits button could move somewhere else, although I'm no sure where and we wouldn't want the same issue with just the emote button. I know it's valuable real estate, but accidentally hitting the bits button over and over again while trying to edit text is extremely frustrating. This could also be considered an accessibility issue.

Thank you for your consideration!

Hello!

The basic idea here is to have the ability to use emotes for channels that you are subscribed to across other platforms (text, social media, etc). This has a multiple benefits:

• It allows subscribers to get more usage out of their Subscriber emotes outside of just the Twitch platform, which doubles as a really cool subscriber perk
• It gives a two-fold discoverability opportunity for the streamer; one by word of mouth (whoa, where'd you get that emote!?), and one by the ability to view emotes through eBoard, encouraging you to check out a streamer you like the emotes for
• Streamers can of course use their own emotes to 'advertise' themselves (in the word of mouth example described above) and on their Social Media postings
• A simplified method of managing your subscriptions to channels via this app since you'll be able to see them, and potentially renew, cancel, etc.
• It naturally advertises Twitch to audiences that may not already be aware of it since this is the digital age and everyone uses emotes in their communications

Of course, when your subscription runs out, you lose the ability to use those emotes, and resubbing enables them again. For Bit Emotes, once you've unlocked the emote tier, I don't see why you wouldn't always have that emote available to you for use via eBoard.

Let me know your thoughts! :) <(Is wishing I could use my emote)

Option to compact or expand a video section. Twitch got fat. With the new followed channel layout I can’t find the people I want to watch. Videos used to take up 1/5 of the screen, like in the recommended section. That was easy to view and easy to find the followed channels I want to watch. Now videos take up 1/2 the screen, like in the discover section. It feels clunky and I would rather unfollow than dig to find people. Easy fix, give an option change the the layout. If I want it to be compact and look like offline channels section, cool got it. If I want everything expanded to look like discover, awesome no problem. Twitch can still keep its metrics by having the most data encouraged setup as default, and I don’t have to deal with a layout I hate. Everybody wins.
