No one can find Videos now... nor is the Streaming schedule ANY helpful since its WAY to big and does NOT show ANY relevant information.
(Streaming from 10 pm to 3pm for example just cuts every word in half and puts it into two different lines...WHY?)

Yes Panels did the same thing, and Banners too... Why do i have to design everything new? The "Channel Trailer" is a nice Idea, but DEFINETLY in the wrong place.

Using a browser zooming in and out just makes everything worse... Like try it!
The stream even keeps running on the side of the screen, and all the new Menus are so much more crunched and cluttered, it just makes one claustrophobic.

Also which streamer who doesn't even put in the work to create Panels, Banner and Shedule will put in the work to do it now?
And for all those who already did everything, they now have to REDO everything....

Please give us an instant Opt-Out!

PLEASE! <3

I've never liked the visible numbers, and the current layout took some positive steps (on desktop at least) by taking the Follower count off the landing page and making people click into the Follower tab to see the actual numbers.

Personally, I find the numbers a source of anxiety. I know many don't, and use them as confidence/clout boosters. That's all fine, I'm just asking for the option on the broadcaster's side to hide those numbers if they so choose.

Thank you.

Edit: To clarify, a robust option would be to hide for all, not just the broadcaster. What I really want is folks to come to my channel and enjoy it for the content, not make value judgements based on how many people have "smashed that like button".

I would recommend to make it more visible when the channel is hosting another. Especially for new people on twitch its often very confusing.

Solution idea: for example, I would show the offline screen with a transparent screen over it (so you can still see the offline screen through it) in the center of it saying "This streamer is currently hosting XYZ" with a button to show the hosted channel on the page you are on right now, like "show" - or "hide" if you want to check out the offline screen - because quite a few of us have information on it that we'd like people to see but we also want to host others! :)
OR at least just put the "hosting XYZ" in the center of the display, a teeny tiny button in top left corner is often not seen. As it seems its planned to be shown even less - a little note on the bottom of the display. This will lead to people being mistaken for their hosted channels even more! Don't.

I like the ideas you put in, it will take time to get used to tho I guess.

Things I want to mention too:
- remove category in schedule and give option to completely disable it. Not everyone has a schedule, and changing it every few days will be a nuisance.
- more icons for About/ Social Media "Panel" (Discord, Artstation etc) + drag'n'drop changing the order they're in.
- background image behind channel trailer customizable
- since panel images are limited to a certain size, give the options to link panels that'll always stick together (one above or next to each other) or to put them in a certain order.
- bring back the "following" tab, I liked to see who the streamers follow and I liked to see my followings listed like it used to be.

Thanks for trying to make our experience better! <3

I stream ocassionally but I watch more often. I think making a renovation of channels when they're offline is a good idea, however there are many channels that have Offline communities that hang around the chat so it's useful to have the chat be available still as soon as you enter the streamer's channel instead of having to click a tab, it seems to me it seeks to resemble the mobile experience but I don't understand why? I like more customization options and making the channel look more professional but for the introduction video, wouldn't it be better to have it where the normal offline screen would be? and after the video is done playing or if the video is stopped give the streamer's schedule info IN the same player like it is right now when you want to watch a VOD Having all the information at a glance is far better than making users click here and there to find out things, specially cuz not many are gonna want to watch a whole minute video of someone selling themselves basically

To encourage people to start streaming, and as this new idea might be first daunting for them. I really think it would be a good idea and would encourage more people to stream, if you could add a button in settings for you to be able to private stream to whoever you wanted to. This in turn would make new users more comfortable. Obviously for this I'm sure you would need a subsection within this button to add the usernames that you wanted to privately stream to. It's just that I have had many people ask me about this as I stream myself. It's just an idea really, as I'm sure in your main competitors platform this can be achieved.

There now seems to be no point to hosting another channel when I am not streaming, as there is no indication on my channel page that I am doing so without jumping through hoops.

The useless video carousel defaults to the channel trailer video. If I remove the channel trailer, it defaults to the video of my last stream. The equally useless “customize your channel” button gives no options to choose what content will be shown by default in the carousel. A viewer landing on my page will have no way to know I am hosting someone else’s channel unless they:

1. Click through the video carousel until the hosted stream appears. NO ONE is going to do that.


2. Click on my username below the carousel. This brings you to the old layout stream player with the hosted channel playing. The game title displayed DOES NOT show the game/category of the hosted channel. Instead, it shows the game/category of the last thing I streamed. That is both confusing and useless.

Hosting another channel is one of the greatest features that Twitch has to engage viewers while a channel is offline. It helps create a sense of community by allowing viewers to discover channels with similar content. With this channel “redesign” you have rendered that feature essentially useless because it has been buried. A hosted channel should be the first thing a viewer sees in the content player when landing on an offline channel page.

If there is a way to have hosted channels appear by default, there is no obvious way to do so. Once again, you have removed a useful feature and rendered it totally useless.
