Extension overlay and mobile support
Good day StreamElements!
As mention in the title and my support ticket inquiring about such features for the extension panel.
I've been meaning to ask if there's any plans for the twitch extension to become an overlay instead of a panel, which makes the audience to have to scroll down the profile affecting significantly the community engagement as opposed to a more conveniently located panel as an overlay as well as mobile support.

Which could look something like this.
(let's be honest most people don't scroll down to look at the profile), and so the same idea applies when it comes to the overlay, providing the opportunity to make better use of the already existing Stream Store to engage with the community or either being able to make use of it for features such as joining Viewer Queues, Giveaways, and so much more, which currently as it stands with the features available only deters the audience from using it or from me to ever feel like i could use it to its full extent and while i'd love Creators to be able to have their stream neatly setup and well integrated without having to jump many hoops making them have to use anything other than Stream Elements however, i have been growing more and more worried that solutions such as Sound Alerts have had this feature for the longest time and slowly but surely it's been getting more and more features similar to SE.
I'd very much love to keep using SE instead of getting to the point where Stream Elements becomes stagnant making users move onto better pastures for the lack of convenient QoL features such as this.
I hope the team finds this feature request useful.
Best of luck ❤ - NitroC3ll

Good morning Nitro!
Good news! Our SE.Leaderboard is going through a massive face-lift, with more features and more ways to engage with your audience, so keep an eye out for the new look drop coming soon!
I will pass this idea over to our dev team, to see if we can expand the extension into an overlay! This does seem like it could be a massive QOL update. In the meantime, you might be able to just create a window capture source in OBS, and crop it out so it is specifically just the leaderboard extension, this way you can pop it out on your overlay manually whenever you would like!
We appreciate your well thought-out and designed example for a mobile preview as well!
Thanks again!

Anytime 👍, i'm just a humble creator who loves great and intuitive UI/UX and having the most fun using them 😁 looking forward to that face-lift and upcoming features, after the release if i find anything that seems like it's sticking out or that could potentially be improved (like making the media request widget a bit more customizable,maybe allowing for custom css, like a jukebox) i'll let you guys know.
Best of luck ♥ - NitroC3ll

In regards to the leaderboard extension as an OBS overlay, while that might sound like a nice idea using it as a countdown or to showcase point leaderboards would occupy too much screen space and it lacks interactivity with the viewer, the extension overlay is supposed to solve this interactivity and along with the store provide as me and my friends love to call it “content boosters” which is a big plus when it comes to hyping up and engaging in fun ways with the community through the Stream Store spending loyalty points or bits to trigger sounds, animated images (gif, webp, etc) clips, and the already known redeemable keys or perks and rewards the creator would love to provide using said points or bits or how about showing the schedule and/or the countdown. As an alternative design for the overlay extension and mobile i made what could be a responsive, more compact design for the panel to prevent clutter showing icons at the bottom instead of text menu for the different sections of the panel.
So anyways, i'm sure the team would be able to find many more ways to put that panel to good use, just make it fun guys!😁
Signing out and good luck! ♥ - NitroC3ll
