Change the layout back. Both streamers and chatters have said they don't like it. Changing the layout so the Title and tags are all above the stream was a bad decision. It is in the way for people who get dizzy watching first person games, and can't watch in full screen. You have basically made it so that, yes it might be the first thing we see, but that's not good. It distracts from the actual stream or VOD. Twitch doesn't need to be TikTok on mobile, and it doesn't need to be YouTube on the website. Please. PLEASE!! Change it back. No one likes it from the streamers and chats that I've been…

Give an option in user setting to have a stream title at the bottom of the player I am a boomer and I cannot live with the title at the top of the screen. Please ease my suffering.

Choose location of title and meta data Recently Twitch decided to move everything to above the video instead of leaving alone at the bottom of the video where it's been for 2 decades. Many viewers would like it to remain where it's been, where muscle memory has it.
Change for the sake for change is just wrong.

Options to have the streamers info on the top or bottom of their active stream A recent update has shifted the streamers info to the top of their stream, im personally not a fan of it, having it be a setting to appear either top of bottom would be my suggestion for those unhappy with this update

Stay on current stream when a raid is initiated while viewer has the player paused When ever I have paused a stream, and left the tab open. It has every single time been irritating when i am raided into a new channel. Sometimes i am on mobile and use up all my mobile data without knowing, sometimes I pause a stream and leave the PC before i go to bed, and then wake up because i've been raided into some stream. Or im inside a game and i don't know where the sound is coming from and have to go through my 20-30 some tabs in the middle of a game.

Remove the top bar in Full screen mode When watching a stream in full screen mode, there is a bar at the top of the screen that covers the top of the stream.
This results in a much worse use experience. If you do not want to remove it, at lease add an option to hide it.

Logarithmic Volume Slider The volume slider is a commonly misunderstood thing. Slider tools tend to be linear, with defaults usually ranging from 0 to 100 in steps of 1, as the volume control does here on Twitch.
HOWEVER, audio is not linear, it's logarithmic, and because of this, volume controls tend to suffer. There's decades of documentation on this programming mistake all across the internet, with multiple public letters, blog posts, and other comments on why volume sliders need to use a logarithmic conversion; a cursory search will provide extensive examples.Please change the volume control to be logarithmic, so that 1% is…

Disable Stream Quality Throttling for Twitch Turbo Subscribers from Russia Hello.
For several months, you have been limiting the maximum stream quality to 720p and the bitrate to 3000 for viewers from Russia, explaining this by saying that you receive insufficient revenue from us.
I watch Overwatch, which is a very fast-paced game, and a bitrate of 3000 turns it into a blurry mess. Because of this, many of us use various workarounds to restore normal quality. As a result, you are effectively gaining nothing from these restrictions: the load on your servers ends up being the same, while we simply face additional inconvenience.
I would like to suggest a…

Add "Highest Available" option for video quality I always keep the quality option set to "source" so it's always using the highest setting. Auto is constantly freezing the stream and lowering/upping it even though I have extremely consistent fiber internet speeds so I absolutely despise this option.
There are some streamers I watch that have 1440p as their source quality and I can't select it because I turn hardware acceleration off on my browser. This makes it choose the option below it. It then defaults me to 720p for other streamers instead of their source option which is typically 1080p.
Highest Available would completely alleviate this issue.

PUT THE TITLE BACK AT THE BOTTOM The title bar looks godawful at the top, it goes against the standard that every other video website has, and is forced upon users with no option. At least make it optional! What was the point of this change? Was this seen as an improvement? Why? In what way is it possibly better?

Restore Continue Watching feature Restore Continue Watching feature. Can put it under Activity section. Finding the right VOD and spot in the video can be very frustrating

Change "1440p## 2K" to "1440p## QHD" "2K" as a descriptor of 1440p is a misleading marketing gimmick, stop using it.
Do better, use QHD as a descriptor of 1440p instead, in the video quality selector.3 votes -
different video broadcast quality for everyone Complaint: I can't watch videos in high quality. My laptop freezes and then shows a blue screen. Please make it possible to change the video quality while watching the stream. Please respect the viewers.

Correct naming scheme for Player Settings I noticed twitch is testing 1440p streams (which are region locked for now) and have shortened it's name to 2k. I might be a bit oversensitive about this topic, but 2560x1440p is not 2k, but 2.5k or QHD.
2k is referring to full hd and I would love if this slight, because I doubt many people even know this, mistake.3 votes -
Is my video player buffering or the streamer is buffering? When I watch streamers I want to know if my video player is buffering or the streamer is. The bigger streamers chat will point out the streamer is buffering, but smaller streamers with a slower chat, I can't tell if my video player is buffering or the streamer is. I always think its my video player is buffering lol.

Allow the PC's screen to timeout after twitch stream ends Please allow PC to go into screen off mode if there is no stream currently playing. As it is now, if a user's browser is open to a stream and the stream ends or crashes, the PC monitor will stay on indefinitely and never timeout. Please make it so that website stops sending a "video is playing, keep screen on" signal to the PC so that it can screen off and save the monitor from screen burn-in damage.

Toggle For Where Stream Info Is Displayed Having the stream name, view count, streamer name, etc. at the top of the video player is driving me insane - I absolutely despise this and would LOVE the ability to toggle where this information is displayed. Having it below the stream for me is massively more convenient, and I think giving users the option of where they'd like this displayed is far better than only having one or the other.

Change the layout back or let us choose what we want I myself am not too keen on the new changes it feels weird to look at and makes it so the information bellow doesn't look good overall, just like mod view could we potentially have the option to select where we want things to be? like for example if people want the chat on the left and stream on the right and the followed channels on the opposite side? or like many people prefer the streamer name/title bellow the stream? it would be highly appreciated

volume slider percentage popup Most stream control buttons have a popup info when the mouse is hovering over them. This includes for example the pause/play, mute, settings and full screen buttons.
Could this feature be added to the volume slider percentage aswell?
Currently the slider doesn't the value while hovering, only when the value is adjusted by the mouse.3 votes -
Add a keyboard shortcut for "Popout Player" Please add a simple keyboard shortcut to popout the video player. Shift+F feels natural to me (F alone is for fullscreen) but any other reasonably convenient WASD-area key will do.
