Stream Title Layout
Put the stream title, time, and viewer count back BELOW the streamer, not above! Please!

Chiming in to say that it is a VERY odd choice to go against the standard set by every other video/stream hosting website (including Twitch itself, previously) - title and information goes under video, video goes above title and information. Currently there are ways to fix this with third party extensions (you are appreciated, FFZ contributors) but it really shouldn't need fixing.
If there was a legitimate demand for this to be an *option* then simply making it a toggle (that's opt *in* rather than out) would be appropriate.

The video area has a dark grey bar at the top with nothing in it. The video itself appears shifted down a bit, with the bottom now not visible, apparently obscured by the title bar, which is still at the bottom. The play/pause/volume control are not visible, which presents a bit of a problem since I have autoplay disabled and sound volume initialising to 0 for all new tabs. Is it actually intended that all streams are now silent?
When this abomination of an experiment first appeared, reddit told me frankerface addon could fix it, which it did. But the frankerface setting randomly reverts sometimes. Disabling frankerface results in the 'no volume control' bug.
What a mess, please test code before deploying!

Bottom please. This was a pointless and unwanted change.

Yeah, This change is... Not great. On Desktop, It felt better at the bottom of the page and to make things worse, this change makes it harder to see Tags associated with a stream. Don't know why Twitch felt this needed to be changed.

This is really bad UI design to change this, now my eyes have to strain to look up and find the stream title/streamer name. our eyes naturally fall downwards. this recent change is very frustrating, please give us the option to revert.

Came here looking to make a post like this but I see there are already a multitude which is great, so I'll just upvote this one. The change to the title at the top of the page is a terrible idea and I'm surprised that it made it past anyone who makes the decisions let alone get implemented into a "beta test". I really am baffled by people in life sometimes

With the Stream information at the top of the video, it is separated from the rest of the channel information. It just does not make any sense to spread this to two different sections. On top of that, it looks disgusting. Change it back so I don't have to download 3rd party software to change it back myself.

This was the dumbest change I've seen in a while Twitch.
If you want to be UI rebels, do it on a completely different platform. Kick can do it and you can see if anyone users actually like that change there.

I do not like this new UI change that moved information that used to be below the stream above it. Please at least give an option to return the UI to how it was before this change if not outright reverting it.

This UI change was not needed as a forced change. The standard for video online has ALWAYS had the title and other info BELOW the video. If you want this to be a new thing, make it an OPTION, not the standard.
Your platform is not here to make a UI revolution. Stick to the standards that all other video/streaming platforms have used for 10+ years.

Please revert this change or make it an option in settings that can be turned off. It's pointless to move it and I don't like the look of it. It also truncates titles which are too long, which I don't like. I'd prefer to be able to read the whole thing without having to hover over it and read it on the tooltip.

Let us decide whether we want the title at the top or bottom, at the very least

Please revert this change. It is incredibly distracting to me for the title to be at the top of the video.

Twitch Support directed me here. Please, revert this change, or at least consider our opinion.

I 100% agree on this especially since the subscription and gift sub buttons where left at the bottom. I sat there refreshing my page for 15 minutes before page wasn't loading correct before I could see it at the top. I suppose it's something I can get used to but I just don't understand why they're segregating information at the top of the page
