Chat Overlay
Would be nice to see maybe a chat overlay for those with single monitors. Something similar to what SLOBS has just a transparent pop-out chat that can go over the game but not hinder your view too much to make it a little easier for those with single monitors to read chat
I’m happy to announce that we support an in-game overlay for all Windows users!
You can enable this in the main settings page under “In-Game Overlay”. You will have access to chat, activity feed, stream status and audio information directly on top of whatever game you are capturing.
The overlay will activate if you are capturing a specific game with screen share and only be visible to you – but please note that some games are not compatible with the overlay.
Please try it out and give us feedback! We’re always looking to improve

Jax can you talk about making a chat overlay app only, for OBS users, because the way the chat overlay is on twitch studios is not much optimal, since i will have to leave 2 streaming app open.
PS:. I know that OBS is not the priority of twitch right now, but i do prefer you guys making that app than a unknown third party.

I agree with @lunabeam is there any progress made on this feature? I hope I don't need to switch (I love using my phone to look at chat) but having a in-game overlay would be... better.

Any updates on this? If this is not something you're going to add I may need to switch to another software, as I don't currently have space for a second monitor. I'd rather not switch, as this is an easy software to use and I already have it.

have there been any developments on this possibly being released in an update? soon? along with a viewer count?

yes yes yes , and maybe even the notifications

Maybe you could add a little thing that would notify you about new messages if you have a dual screen setup and the second monitor is not quiet in view. This could help smaller channels that sometimes miss chat messages a lot and would make it easier to focuse on the game in the time when there are no new messages.

this would be great since just before starting to use twitch studio i was using the amd software and it already had a chat overlay and its so useful since i dont want to get a 2nd monitor to stream

Yes, please!

This is a needed feature. If you don't add Chat Overlay many people will leave Twitch Studio simply because it lacks in features

Wyky, what programs did you use?
-
ArwenSkywalker commented
They already have notifications without having to use the browser source embed option, then Chat should've been included also.

I need this. Used to have two displays, but had to get rid of one cuz of lack of space and I miss it so much. This would help immensely!

I like this idea, I've used other clients to achieve this but a built in feature would help new streamers when they're just getting started.
