Adding more extension slots
Whether you stream on PC, console, or mobile platforms there is only 2 components, 1 overlay, and 3 panels. I understand that this was probably the most anyone wanted to attempt when you guys 1st started. However, now you are probably the top kid in the streaming game, and this feature could use an update in amount of available slots. If these were always showing then I could see the need for a limit, but most only become visible once hovered over or located in the panel section below. So with this being said you could add more slots for us to use because I just signed up for Overlay expert and I would love to see my overlay in action on all my games I play. But, sadly this can't happen because I use extensions like the D2 official that go active the moment I fired up the game, and pushes the overlay into the inactive state. If these are overlays, shouldn't they be active whenever WE need them to be, and not at the whim of one of our auto-active overlays? I am a new streamer, by that I mean I have been streaming a long time but now I am so close to affiliate that I would love to use features that will give me an edge in regards to this milestone (as well as others). I am a studying game designer, so I know a thing or 2 about coding, and I think this is very achievable since most of the extensions are hidden until selected. Why hasn't this been addressed already? I think you would have jumped at the chance to improve this feature for your streamers since this is what this service is for, right? If not, then is there a reason why this can't happen, or hasn't happened already?

Even Still today Slots is a great need for all streamers... A Single Overlay Slot just isn't enough when multiple extensions require them to be in only that slot... Same really for other slots though Overlay does have the unique problem and I understand that too of how to do layering... I'd say the lower the number slot the higher the overlay layer (closer to the surface of the stream). Panels on the other hand I could use more of them and component slots but when you try to diversify your experience for the viewer it makes things more difficult not to have a slot for something they might enjoy.. even just to test it out...

I'd appreciate more slots all around. More overlay slots, more panel slots, & more component slots. (Things like 'closed captions' is something I like to provide but then it limits other items that would provide fun for the channel. Are closed captions something that Twitch plans to integrate?)
