(thinking…)

Twitch videos no longer show the video description

It seems as though twitch videos no longer show or have an expandable description beneath the video player or I cannot find it after searching everywhere on the page. There needs to be a spot where the video description can be read by the viewer as the video may reference written information that the viewer can find in the description and is an important spot for providing relevant links.

Hey there,

The description should show below the VOD, provided it was actually given by the channel. Thank you.

    Who in their right mind decided it was a good idea to remove the description box?

    How can you improve videos on Twitch?

    Is it fixed yet? I am a novice streamer, but I definitely can't find my own descriptions!

    Also, as already said, what's the point in having a video feature that users (generally speaking) cannot use? It's completely pointless. I, too, confirm I just can't seem to find the video description (and here I was thinking it's just me too du*b not finding it)!

    Yep! I just came here to find out where the heck the description shows up because I don't see it. Now I know. I hope this gets fixed because it is pretty important.

    Still happening to this day going on almost a year soon... descriptions that cant be even viewed anymore making it completely pointless. Almost as pointless as YT storing multichannel audio and not support anything more then 2 channel audio on playback.

    No description visible at all on a video, WTF? And yet, when editing it, there's a field to enter one? Fix your janky *** site, Twitch.

    Yeah, I find this a problem. What's the point in having a description if it doesn't show under the video player? Needs sorting out.
  • poutination commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, it is mind boggling that this information is completely inaccessible to viewers. Please fix this ASAP!

    Hi, I have noticed the same thing. The Description edited and saved in the Video Producer is not showing under the video, not even in a Private Window. The Description needs be visible, as Garfm said, there's often related important information that is placed in the Description.

    Thank you.
