Please stop messing with our muscle memory and revert the UI change Twitch just rolled out a change on the PC browser website that moves the panel that contains the streamer's username, stream title/category, follow button, concurrent viewers,... to the top of the stream, which not only messes with our muscle memory but also makes the experience a bit less pleasant as the stream got pushed downwards from its original centered position.
Please Twitch, if it ain't broke don't try to fix it.

Toggle Panels On/Off Instead of Remove I think it would be useful to be able to toggle panels on/off instead of having to remove them and re-add them each time.
For example, I'd like to have a panel with information specific to a game I'm playing, but if I'm playing a different game I'd like to turn it off temporarily and not have to worry about setting it up all over when I go back to the other game.192 votes -
Enforce panel layout The panels should have an option to force a grid layout, instead of the floating randomness we have today. I designed a 3 column poster that displays correctly on the most common screen resolutions, but it breaks with this new layout.
Streamers should have the choice of floating(today), three, four or five column layouts.
The new channel layout makes it easier for everyone to find the info they're looking for about a streamer, which is great.

Add a clear section for alternative text to describe panels Accessibility is a huge, ongoing problem on social media and streaming platforms, and this includes the way panels work on Twitch. I personally use photos to create a consistent brand on my page. Individuals visiting my page who use a screen reader are not able to know what my panels say because they are image-only. I hope that Twitch will consider adding an alternative text section (that will not show as text placed in the description shows). This will increase accessibility for all individuals on twitch and allow those of us who use a consistent branding system to maintain that…

Column lock for panels The placement of twitch panels changes depending on multiple things such as monitor size, the sidebar being open or not and chat being open or not. My suggestion is that we should be able to lock a column to always be displayed on a specific side, this way we can place important panels in this column and we don't have to worry that it gets lost further down due to any of the reasons i've listed before.

Collapsible Panels In the About section, I have some panels that are links, some with a little text under them, and some with a lot of text under them. If panels with text could be expanded and collapsed by clicking, things would look a lot cleaner and more symmetrical while still giving easy access to information. As it is, having this kind of mix of panels makes things very cluttered and disorganized-looking.

Change panel arrangements The current panels that show below the stream player is just awful in it's current state, it's so bad, it doesn't even align up where you think it's going to align up after you switch off Edit Panels Mode. I want to see a better panels view where it'll show exactly where and how panels display on the page, because dragging things around just doesn't move panel to where I specifically want them to be and ends up arranging them in awkward places where it doesn't properly align where they should be placed.
Here's what you should do to make…

Every post on this page should be about how horrible the UI change is. Keep posting. Twitch needs to only see feedback about the UI until the revert it.
Twitch needs new frontend designers. Not only are they lazy, they are also incompetent.

Removal of AI Category Images Categories updated with AI Slop rather than collaborating with creatives on your platform was a huge misstep; I would recommend removing ai art and commissioning artists instead.

Multiple panel layouts I've seen multiple requests to be able to "hide" certain panels from appearing below the stream as opposed to just deleting them and having to remake them again later, but to expand on that idea, I'd like to suggest being able to have multiple layouts for panels available to use. This would be useful for variety streamers with multiple games they play regularly, people who do different types of streams on certains days (some streamers have sub sunday, etc) and would also be useful in creating panel setups for events like charity streams.
With multiple panel layouts available we'd be…

Revert the new channel page change The new channel layout sucks (let's be honest). It's a maze just to get to the clip section and the video player just seems off without the little "videos, clips, followers, etc" and profile picture tab on the top. Besides, having the huge box under the player with only the profile picture and the about info is also weird. People use to just type the about info in the panel section below anyways?
Would at least be cool if the viewer could choose if they want this new channel design or the old one. For me, this new feature makes…

Fix the Panel Cropping Issue There seems to be a persistent issue where custom panels on the about page are cropped oddly on the right and bottom sides of panels. This has apparently been an issue that has been going on for years and hasn't been fixed. Resizing the bottom and right side of a panel can only do so much but it still crops out part of the image automatically. This must be some sort of bug in the coding to cut off that much of an image. Please fix this issue.

disabling but not deleting panels As a streamer you know you can use/set panels underneath your stream, but sometimes you just want to disable one, it's not possible you find out then and you'll have to delete it. It would be handy if you can disable them to not need to make them entirely again (i'm talking about the text and links with them now btw)

Live Bar Yesterday there was a switch where the Live bar with viewer stats are now above the videos? This feels so distracting and busy - and now there's an awkward empty gap between the video and the Bio/ About Me panels?

Color change for text in the description of Panels I Think you should be able to change the color of your text in the descriptions of the about me panel section. Definitely something that should be looked into!

Arranging Panels Is a Pain Whoever made the decision to make arranging panels from left to right without any column prioritization should be fired. Panels vary in height, and it makes it really hard to sort the panels. Not to mention that switching between theatre mode and chat panel mode actually rearranges the panels themselves, and it's honestly really annoying because it shifts the panels around and makes it difficult to arrange them just right. Because the theatre mode arranges panels in a 3-column layout, whereas the chat panel mode arranges the panels in a 2-column layout, it's impossible to arrange the panels exactly the…
