1. Bring back the offline image

   I and many other streamers use the offline image to communicate important information about the stream, and with it being missing, small, or overridden by the other cards, I'm losing an important method of communication with viewers.

   In addition, the auto-featured recent stream, while nice for some streams, is not useful or appropriate for all channels, and it would be nice to have the option to disable it.

   ...I guess the sum of what I want is just the option to keep my offline image as the main visual element on the channel page when it's offline. The new additions are all useless for my channel's needs.

   Hi everyone! 

   
   

   Thank you for all of your feedback on this topic. After much consideration, we have decided against bringing back the offline channel image in its original form. However, we would like to share some reasons why we came to this decision:

   
   

   Many of you used to use the offline image to share relevant information for your channel like schedules and social media names. Part of the channel redesign was to build those options into your channel itself and make them interactive. You can create your own schedules and your viewers can even set up notifications to remind them. Additionally, you can add your social media links directly for your community members to find you elsewhere. Streamlining your information in this way makes it easier for new viewers to know where to look, and eliminates the issue of viewers landing on a black screen, as a lot of streamers did not actually upload images.

   
   

   If you feel anything specific is missing, however, please let us know! We are always looking for ways to continue iterating and improving.
