Moving stream info back under the stream
I know that you guys are running UX/UI tests for desktop users, placing the stream info above the stream instead of underneath. I appreciate the effort to improve the platform, but this change like it's trying to fix something that's not broken. Personally, the new placement has made my viewing experience less intuitive and more visually distracting. I’ve found myself less inclined to watch streams due to the change.
When the testing period concludes, can we restore the original layout where the info's underneath? The previous design felt more natural, and it’s not immediately clear what problem the new placement is intended to solve.
Thank you all!

Exactly DGAvalon. When I first saw its location, I thought Twitch had glitched and my first instinct was to try and grab it with my mouse and drag it back down below. lol
Settings is where this belongs.

I don't understand why it's not been added to settings as an option. But I don't know anyone who likes it.

It is a significantly worse layout for smaller screens as well on my laptop this change is far more noticeable and actually cuts off part of the video.

Old layout was perfectly fine, didn't need any changes. New one adds nothing of value. Please restore it back to the way it was. Thank you.

I also feel it is a change made for change's sake. Bottom of the window is the best location for channel info. Reverting it back can't happen fast enough. Reversion would make a nice holiday gift for us all or even for Happy New Year.

Absolute garbage of a change. Revert it ASAP. No reason to change this. Seems as if someone is trying to justify their job by changing little things to make it look like they do something.

it makes no sense for me to change a running system, the info should be under the video

The stream info about the stream itself is already stupid, in my opinion. Please put it back at the bottom. Thank you

Making a change like this is entirely pointless, things were fine just as they were and this will only serve to agitate and make things look messy. Dislike this idea massively and would strongly prefer it go away immediately. Random UI changes are always terrible and a waste of resources that could go to fixing a plethora of ACTUAL issues instead.

Stop forcing changes on users without their prior consent! I didn't ask for this. I don't want to test it. Twitch has been just find for years. I learned to deal with the UI and I don't want to have to re-learn.

the new placement literally only makes everything look worse. I tried to watch a good friend stream, and I had to close the website just because of how bad it looks.

This change is awful!!! The banner being at the top is so intrusive and makes the site so cluttered. Please change it back.

Yes, this change is awful. That information you look at once per stream, putting it directly in the middle of your view distracts from seeing the stream. Please revert ASAP
