Currently, in the Twitch mobile app, when watching a VOD (past broadcast), the video player interface (including the pause button, streamer name, and other UI elements) does not automatically hide after a few seconds of inactivity. This persistent UI significantly blocks the video content and creates a poor viewing experience compared to platforms like YouTube, where the UI fades to maximize screen space. Watching a VOD should feel like watching a video, not a live stream.
Feature Request:
1. Make the VOD player UI on mobile auto-hide after a short period of inactivity, similar to standard video players.
2. Alternatively, add a dedicated 'Theater Mode' or 'Clean View' toggle for VODs that minimizes non-essential UI.
