Absolutely. It gets in the way!

Es verdad, la ventana del Hype Train ocupa mucho espacioy no deja ver el chat, esto incomoda mucho en especial a los moderadores del canal que están desde un dispositivo móvil. Deberían poner la opción de quitarlo, como por ejemplo las ventanas de encuestas y votaciones que tienen un botón para quitarlas o minimizar así deja ver el chat cada vez que se realizan durante una transmisión o directo en vivo.

makes the stream very small, I have to turn off the chat

It's bad enough it covers most of chat on Mobile, but 99% of the time it gets stuck at 0:01 remaining and never goes away without exiting the app and reopening the stream.

Worst UX for a multimillionaire company
Can you, at least, add an option for mobile users to hide hype trains?

It makes the stream way too small, and you just end up turning off chat entirely. Its unbearable when watching big streamers. PLEASE fix this, thank you.

It really ruins the experience of viewing a large twitch channel, as the stream becomes 50% smaller and makes chat stupidly large. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP. I have no clue how devs havent noticed this after almost a year, like do you never watch on mobile? It's incredibly annoying.

I have gotten so annoyed with this "feature" that I'm not watching large channels anymore. Makes the viewing experience so much worse. Don't change the size of the chat!

Please fix the 50% make it so its above chat its very annoying.

I came here just for this. It's the worst UX experience I can possibly imagine. I end up just closing chat for 5-10 minutes until it's gone. It ruins the experience and does not entice me to contribute to the hype train, instead it just annoys me.

Chat using 50% of the screen is bad UX

Please fix this, it’s been months and hype trains last too long. It make landscape view practically useless as the stream becomes smaller than portrait. I shouldn’t have to close chat everytime this happens because a hypetrain lasts forever.

When viewing in landscape mode, the hype train bar literally extends the chat to half the size of the screen. The video stream then becomes a quarter of the size of my tablet screen because the chat is taking up half the screen.

WHY DOES HYPE TRAIN CAUSE THE CHAT TO TAKE UP HALF THE SCREEN? WHO SIGNED OFF ON THIS

When watching a stream on landscape mode, with chat opened, the hype train will forcibly take up 50% of the screen. This leads to either continuing watching without chat on, or with phone held vertically.
