The new channel layout sucks (let's be honest). It's a maze just to get to the clip section and the video player just seems off without the little "videos, clips, followers, etc" and profile picture tab on the top. Besides, having the huge box under the player with only the profile picture and the about info is also weird. People use to just type the about info in the panel section below anyways?

Would at least be cool if the viewer could choose if they want this new channel design or the old one. For me, this new feature makes the viewer experience worse.

The current panels that show below the stream player is just awful in it's current state, it's so bad, it doesn't even align up where you think it's going to align up after you switch off Edit Panels Mode. I want to see a better panels view where it'll show exactly where and how panels display on the page, because dragging things around just doesn't move panel to where I specifically want them to be and ends up arranging them in awkward places where it doesn't properly align where they should be placed.

Here's what you should do to make editing and customizing panels better;

1 - Split up columns into 3 so you can drag and drop panels into each of them in order from Left to Right, Top to Bottom where you want them to be, and in the order you want them to be displayed as.

2 - Show a preview window of how it'll look on the page once you finished editing your panels and placements.

3 - Separate out the Widgets from the Panels into maybe a tab or something like "Stream Widgets" where the user can just click on them to see what the active widgets are on the channel. Widgets on panels aren't all the same size so it kind of screws with the layout of panels, so it would make sense to put these into their own tab section where it won't really matter how they're laid out.

As someone who enjoys designing panels, and I often have a set 'vision' as to how the flow is I'd love either the option of a drag and drop system similar to DeviantArt to group panels together into set colums/rows or groups, as well as maybe a more advanced view allowing you to set your panels in a variety of display configuration spanning multiple columns.

This would allow people to really customize how they want their panels to display, and allow extensions panels to also get a custom title (something you can't currently do), by allowing people to group the extension panel with a panel with a title in it and keep them together

This is just a small inconvenience however can make a difference to some streamers. I myself custom design my own panels and struggle to find a nice layout due to the fact that If you view the about section directly it looks totally different then how it is accessed from the live stream chat. I think streamers should have the option to modify our panels to each device and page it is accessed on. For example, We should have the option to Modify how it would look like on the phone, or pc, or the multiple ways it can be accessed.

So at the moment the user goes to the channel and sees:

Home
About
Schedule
Videos
Chat

User clicks on chat and sees Chat and also the offline image uploaded by the streamer. Slightly confusing if the streamer has put info about their stream on the image, but that can be adjusted.

What appears below the offline image is recent broadcasts, but when they are live the panels appear but you lose the tabs mentioned above. This is completely confusing! The flow does not give a good user experience.

I personally like the LIVE look. You see the panels but you also see the About and socials section. It's nice.

The offline look with recent broadcasts is inconsistent.

Also losing the tabs when on the 'chat' page or the 'live' page is confusing.

Suggestion:

Show the tabs always and remove 'recent broadcasts' from the 'chat' offline page, because they are duplicated in 'videos'.
