  1. Annoying Location of Twitch Overlay


    Is there a way to move the location of the small overlay that appears while broadcasting? It is in a rather terrible spot that most game use to list text items and subtitles. It only appears if you unsnap the Twitch after after you've initiated a broadcast,
    it lists the number of viewers and indicates you are broadcasting. As you can see in the screenshot it covers up the text elements in Child of Light making the lower text impossible to read. I understand that every game is different, but 1) the info shouldn't
    be in the middle of the screen because it ruins emersion and only needs to be glanced at from time to time and 2) should be able to be moved or relocated with a few different predefined spots, so you can position it based on the game you are playing.

    Here is a picture of what I am talking about...

    Fix Twitch streaming -Broken after Creators Update-

    You need to work with Twitch or fix it yourself. Make Twitch have an Overlay mode for the chat so that streamers can read the chat while playing. As it is currently, you have to exit the game and go to the app in order to view the chat. This is awful you
    should have fixed that from the preview builds already.

  3. Twitch TV!

    I've been working on this for a few weeks now and also have a ticket in with Twitch support.

    Trying to watch any broadcast on Xbox One Twitch app screen stays black but chat works, same as above posts.

    Temp Fix: Change your system location. I went into settings and changed my location from "Canada" to "United States".

    Rebooted the system and launched Twitch again and it works properly.

    This fix isn't the best but it works for me.

    Only annoying thing is that when you want to buy something you need to switch it back for your account to work properly in the store.

    I've tested Twitch on Xbox 360 and also on Ps4, no issues and works perfect. Issue with Xbox One only.

    Hope this gets fixed / patched soon.

    Annoying Location of Twitch Overlay

    It should also fade away after so many seconds, not really concerned with how many followers are currently watching, maybe add an option to disable that overlay all together?
