Horizontal Scroll (Twitch Chat Widget)
Is it possible to have the twitch chat scroll from right to left (horizontal)
instead of the vertical scrolling we have today ?
Like adding an extra function to the Twitch Chat widget,
like the
type:
text (free-form)
↓
( Content Overflow )
Scroll direction:
Horizontal / Vertical
5 Replies
A temporary fix ?
add a new { Handle }
Latest Twitch Chat messages
↓
Number of messages:
5→20
Then it will automatically scroll in horizontal, thanks to the extra function the type { Text (free-form } has today
Is this with a Twitch Chat alert layer?
Built in: Twitch Chat Widget
How would this work for very active chats?
I started to notice that people who stream on Twitch were the in game UX/UI is an important factor for the viewer the chat kinda gets in the way, u often see chatbox being pushed to the side or just floating text in a corner.
Games like Diablo, Elden Scroll, starfield, TexasCMgame, Dead by daylight, n almost every fighting game have this problem, the UX/UI is either way too heavy or have an important role for the in game experience both for the viewer n gamer
That is why I started to add a longer bar to the designs where you can put most of the information without making the overlay feel overwhelming
Important factors for a good stream: i) Camera with Mic for the viewer to enjoy ii) Some appreciated info like latest sub n flw iii) to feel involved as a viewer: chat To answer your question, for active chats that almost feel like spam haha this is still a problem in a vertical view, the best way would probably have some slow-motion mode but that would only remove the enjoyment of an active chat.
I think it's time to make the streaming overlay "evolve" to the next step = Simplified but useful for the whole experience. Nowadays u often just see people stream with a camera on and a floating chat box in a corner, that's it People haven't really figured out how to make the overlays fit to a certain game so they just choose to have everything simplified That is why the first Halo overlay that I created, the whole overlay never touched the in-game UX/UI to make it fit the game, but chat box on the other hand hahah The Cam position is more important than the chat, but its too bad that most streamers seem to overlook the importance of having the chat included/involved Hahaha maybe I am asking too much hahahah It's just that I really want the whole concept of Overlay Expert to be able to have options and the flexibility to engage streamers to do more and feel inspired while doing the hard work before a streaming session 🙂 Hahaha way too much text haha sorry!!!
