Device: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 (Android 17)

I'm requesting full vertical VOD playback support within the Twitch mobile app.

I currently broadcast using OBS with Enhanced Broadcasting enabled and Aitum Vertical configured for Dual Format streaming.

While my live broadcasts support an optimized 9:16 viewing experience, I cannot find an equivalent vertical playback option when watching my past broadcasts through the Android Twitch app.

Twitch's documentation states that vertical VOD versions are retained for seven days, yet there is no clearly accessible option in my mobile VOD player to select that format.

Requested improvements:

1. Provide a visible 9:16 / 16:9 playback toggle for Dual Format VODs.

2. Automatically display the vertical version when watching eligible VODs in portrait orientation.

3. Preserve the mobile-optimized viewing experience available during live broadcasts.

4. Allow viewers to switch orientations without restarting playback.

5. Clearly indicate when a vertical VOD is available or has expired.

Why this matters:

Creators invest significant time configuring separate vertical layouts to improve mobile engagement. That experience should not end when the broadcast goes offline.

Viewers discovering a creator through Twitch's vertical live feed should be able to watch recent broadcasts using the same mobile-optimized layout.

Please also clarify whether the current Android behavior is an unsupported feature or a playback issue requiring correction.
