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.

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.
