Improve Team visibility and reverse recent design change
Twitch recently changed the way Teams are displayed on a streamer's channel page.
Prior to the change, the name and link of the main Team was displayed next to the Game below the Video Player. The change moved this lower to the "About" box and changed the appearance, which makes the Team less obvious and appear non-clickable.
I propose to re-add the Team name and link next to the Game name, in addition to the reference in the "About" box.
Teams are a great way for streamers to collaborate. As of now, Teams need lots of love, as they have been neglected for years.
I'm sure the comments will provide further input on this.
Hey all! Wanted to let you know that we recently updated the Teams color so that it looks more interactive and noticeable. We decided to add it to the About panel, because it is more about the streamer - where it was before was more about that particular stream.

As if it wasn't hard enough to find teams before. Good luck finding them now. Twitch needs to stop making changes no one asked for and listen to their viewers.

Another recent change from Twitch that no-one asked for. Sort of like the change to the /me command that NO ONE asked to happen.. but some secret voice told them we wanted.
Can Twitch please stop making discover-ability WORSE than it already is? They promised 3 years ago that they would do things to vastly improve discoverability on the platform, but every move they make simply makes it worse. -

For me its another killer for Vr they keep hiding us. first the removal of the VR Categories then when we finally make a team so people can find VR streamers its Hidden. Come on Twitch you can do better than this

I don't get why moving teams to somewhere less visible was needed.
Team's need some team perks!
Team animated emotes.
Team panel that shows live member'snot removing the team to someplace that no one ever looks at.
the whole site needs a reworking as no one ever looks at any of it!Very disgruntled partner here!

This is detrimental to a Twitch Team's discoverability and a shockingly unnecessary design change. Quite upsetting that this was done with no warning and no announcement too.

The design change and move was done with no notice or explanation as to whether this is part of a greater redesign. These sorts of changes without any communication are the ones that make us all hesitant and skeptical when changes come down the pipe.
There already is zero support, visibility, or discoverability for teams on platform; this harpoons the biggest visual benefit.

As someone who has been a part of several teams and currently runs one, they DESPERATELY need some kind of love, visibility and discoverability. Making the teams harder to see on a profile page is a step in the wrong direction, and will make them feel even less valuable for viewers.
