Allow overlay extensions to overlay the video on mobile
Currently, overlay extensions only overlay the video on PC.
Please allow overlay extensions to overlay the video on mobile too.
Hey everyone, thank you for your continued feedback!
Developers are able to offer a mobile view of their Twitch Extension by providing an additional version that acts similar to panels on a channel page. The icon to open the mobile version is located on the chat tab in the Twitch mobile application. An overlay view for a Twitch Extension is specifically intended for viewing in a desktop web browser and this functionality is currently not being investigated for mobile use.
For services that provide overlay graphics via Twitch Extensions, we recommend that these views be made available as browser sources for broadcasting software if viewability across all viewing destinations (e.g. desktop, mobile, console) is a high priority for your use case.
Thank you again for this feedback, and please let us know of any additional suggestions you may have in the future.

Overlayexpert really needs to be see on mobile devices my viewers want to see them due to me posting pictures of my overlays in my discord they want to see all the alerts that pop up and see the recent follower. Overlayexpert needs to be seen on mobile.
I shouldn’t have to consistenttell my chat or put it in my title of the video hey if you want to see the cool over lays please watch on pc it’s not fair to them people watch twitch everywhere not just at home.
I need my viewers to be able to see my overlays asap they want to see them I want them to see them it makes my stream less optimized without being able to have my viewers on mobile see the overlays please make it to where mobile sees overlays from overlayexpert

Having overlayexpert on mobile and pc is totally needed for us streamers who only have a console and can’t afford a pc to stream on and use obs streamlabs. Please make overlayexperts overlays be seen on mobile phones please we beg yeah!!

I need the overlays for mobiles activated…. This needs to be done as most of my viewers will be mobile users including myself. I shouldn’t have to get people on PC to watch my videos all the time to see my Overlay.
I’m not getting max performance with out them because people don’t get the satisfaction of being Tommy last follower or my first subscriber or anything. Please bring this too us.

I just started streaming and I will get more followers with all the overlays that i have created but if they won't work for mobile then you might as well not even use overlays for streaming. Add this ASAP

I think overlays are a great way for a viewer to tell the difference in effort between one person and another (among other things). Like me, I have 8 followers and I created an overlay, discord server etc. (And more popular people create better ones with more effort than me, so they should be given the credit for that but people can't tell the difference if they can't see it) so that I can grow, but mobile users can't see that effort... So I look just like someone who is hoping to get instantly popular and give up after five days, not like someone who's in it to really build a community.

It's really sad that this isn't working until now, since most of the viewers are at mobiles.
Mobiles are the future and this not work on them really is very old fashioned. We work very hard to get a good overlay for our especs and for most of them we just are game and game... :( -

6000 votes and over 1600 comments should be enough to add this feature by now. Twitch isn't a new service and I'm shocked this isn't done yet
