We are aware of the issue. No estimate when this will be fixed.
Goto settings, in-game overlay, turn this feature off for now. Use your second monitor or a phone/tablet to read chat. If you can play your game in windowed mode, you can popup Twitch Chat from the browser and position it on the side. Please report the bug by utilizing the Help button in the app.
#❗⚠ FIXED: Black bar in-game overlay issue ⚠❗
207 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
I came to make some kind of report ticket, and see it's been addressed immediately on the same day it became a problem. I've got much love for twitch studios. On a minor note, as it has a size scaling, the black bar is reduced when you slide the scale to 50%. It increases in size with chat, but it is significantly more manageable.
sure til 20 ppl are talking at once and 3/4 of your screen is black anyway lmao
hello
same problem.. is there any info when it will be fixed?
@tribal saddle he said no eta
I have the same problem, it happened after a power outage
Someone tried deleting twich studio from %appdata% and %localappdata%
it works ?
said deleted try asked that
@steel jay here is the pinned post
I noticed you can't move the position of the bar as well, Ive always had mine set to the bottom left and it wouldn't budge from the top left dispite alterating the size or position. Hope that also helps! The bar blocking the top is pretty bad xD
Hopefully it gets fixed soon xD I use the chat from it.
I also have the same issue
see first post for details
Good morning, how do I solve this problem with the overlay, a black band, it gets in the way when playing, sad

alguem sabe dizer se vai ser concertado estou com esse problema tbm na tarja preta na live e bug dos alerta até formatei o pc achando que fosse o pc mas não é podem voltar com versão anterior ?
OBS hacked Twitch studio 😄 for geting us (joke)
did you fix the problem?
I honestly thought that after 24 hours the problem had been solved but the problem persists. Anyone have any news?
não
same here
i have this issue also
same. First of all, is this product still being improved? Does anyone know?
hello i have the same problem do you have a solution ?
The developers have been made aware. You’re going to have to disable the overlay for now.
it s been 1 day actually with this black bar on top .c
ok thx
it seems that the problem has been solved
The problem still exists for me
mine too :(
same here
same here
Same
my follower goal dissapear
in case you didn't read the first message. you can turn it off
not related to this I supposed. create a new post
Want to report these bug in the app but my message cant go out 🤦🏻♂️ so I cant report this problem 😂
Yeah ik but I want overlay
And when I turn off and turn on it shows again that black bar
took for granted how nice this overlay is, there is a little transparent popout chat window u guys can use with OBS btw, as for alerts/viewers/etc you’ll prob have to use a different screen. i couldn’t find a widget for that
as long as you can play the game in windows mode, you can have chat on the side
+1
im so sad
i dont want OBS
i need the bar to be fixed in twitch studios
help please this issue make me crazy
Twitch Alerts is also broken
the alert stays active when once triggered
will not go away
there are workarounds already if you look for the post
oh thank you sir
where can i find that workaround
i just deactivated both
worked perfect for me
but the former functionality is gone now
Well yes i found the "workaround" post .
Its a simply "delete the alert".
#1209980808794734612 message
its not that its the Twitch alert that stays on screen instead of blending out after its donew
create a post if browser url doesn't work
Browser url works , its not fading out after popup
remains on screen
it started with the overlay issue
can you paste the same url in a browser and see if it has the same problem
and please create a new post
i need to leave the discord , i am getting spammed with graphic Artist requests
Yeah me too
I see the black bar too and it's very annoying. 5 messages and half of my screen is gone
I received an email
I’ve non stop had it today constant adds for friend requests and then just people trying to peddle money from me. Frustrating
turn off DMs from servers and only enable from your own
I have the same problem, it is the same in all games. It's been happening to me since Monday.
Discord’s Settings > Privacy & Security
Has anyone tried uninstalling and reinstalling?
fixed?
Yes I tried that before coming here. Does not fix the issue.
is their a way to download an old version of twitch studio ?this really look like just a mistake on overlay setting having a dark background instead a transparent one
not yet 🥲
2 days and nox fix??
worst is if i had access to the code i could prob fix it in 15 sec
thats litteraly a backgroup property set to plain color instead transparent
Yesterday I saw badly. Twitch is not okay and the black band continues to be present. It seems so strange to me that after 2 days it still hasn't settled. I don't feel like there was one patch that changed everything, it happened overnight
formatei até o pc meu amigo e não deu certo é bug da plataforma mesmo
I had the black bar... but then my overlay dissapeared completley o.O
when will you fix this problem??
ALT +SHIFT+ O, that input will hide your twitch in game overlay but you will not see chat on screen
If you figure out how to download an old version let me know. Because this really is a version failure.
guess you can't really if not available by twitch directly cause it's seems to be a bootstraped application running electron after,s o you dotn really download the application but an appllication that download the application if needed by checking for updates, kinda like discord if thta make sense
Because so many people don’t know how to scroll up and read the original post: We are aware of the issue. No estimate when this will be fixed.
Goto settings, in-game overlay, turn this feature off for now. Use a phone/tablet to read chat. Please report the bug by utilizing the Help button in the app.
Continuing to complain about it and ask for a deadline isn’t going to make it happen faster…
then tell them fix this problem first because u can't send report with help button xd
that's not working too
and if we're not gonna ask for a deadline why are we here??
and of course I know I can use other things for streaming but I can always ask when they are gonaa fix this problem
It’s literally all spelled out in the original post. Devs are aware, no deadline, turn off in-game overlay for now. How hard is that to understand?
Because I was forced to turn it off, useless now very ttv studios
There are less drastic alternatives than switching streaming programs. You can monitor chat on a second device, like your phone or a second monitor. Or, if your game allows windowed mode, you can adjust the size of the window so you can see chat on the side.
maybe cause "use your phone for chat" isnt a fix
and after morez than 2 days you would expect more than that for such an easy fix and hard breaking experience
I know
yeah that's just annoying
it would take 5 mins to fix that for any junior dev
oh yeah sure definitely better to do that than just use obs
Maybe you should apply for the job
would you not sya "need 3 years of company experience"
Maybe we have first subscribe to twitch with our PRIME...
maybe if you don't have a solution, a real solution! u should stop
thxx
I’ve offered a couple of solutions. You have offered none
I already told u I know all of that. of course I know I can use phone. I didn't ask u for any alternatives xd
I just asked when will they fix overlay thats not that hard I think
It's just a question. If I ask u any alternatives then u can talk
And I simply repeated what was already stated in the original post: no deadline at this time
yupp but didn't ask u
and that was like 2 days ago
I didn’t know I needed your permission
I agree, you should stop
isq there at kleast people working on it ? or you just dotn give a fck ?
causse it litteraly take less than 5 mins without knowing the code
also do you plan to stay in beta for the next 50 years ?
cause it's been like what ? 5 years ?
@modest notch You realize badgering people here doesn't make it go any faster right?
If so, then why are you doing it? Do you just enjoy being hateful for no reason?
I’m not a Twitch dev. I’m not even a mod in this discord. I just try to help out, and share solutions that I’ve found or have knowledge of.
This is the point I was trying to make. The mods here will let us know any new information the instant that they receive it.
you realise it's just a property on an element that must be chnaged ?
You realize the community mods here have 0 control over the software @modest notch
There is a separate discord for Twitch Devs
We've all had to figure out workarounds, it's only been 2 days. It's not an essential feature, it's not breaking the entire client. Having a little patience doesn't kill you.
“My life is over!” 
@minor plover Ye, hopefully it does get fixed soon but like, it's still freeware and I'm sure the devs are working on other stuff on twitch and the studio itself is a side project.
@minor plover Also sorry about butting in just I really can't stand those types.
's like yelling at a cashier over something the store did xD
Or another customer xD
No worries here. If it gets too heavy in here, the mods will step in. I try to approach things from a neutral perspective. Cuts down on anxiety
Appreciate it, off to stream here, I hope you have a great day man!
I still use the over lay I just check my stream on another device, and move down my loot menu below the black box untill it’s fixed if I do use the overlay
i don't have a second monitor, my phone don't listen to me and don't go to internet, what should i do ?
team 3310 Baby !
I have this also, thanks for the updates, Bug Report failed to send 17 times!!
you actually send it but it says you don't, but you have
is there a fix?
thank for the information
I think its time to turn off overlay and use some plugins for chat show
And if that not gonna be fixed in 2 more days, just delete sht stuff for normal platform
If they need 1week> to fix THIS, imagine if u had some other bugs in future
in fact a problem, in my opinion "trivial" after practically 3 days it still hasn't been fixed, I find it embarrassing! If they don't fix it by tomorrow morning, I will be forced to change platform......after more than 2 years
There’re workarounds.
im using no overlay for now
In game overlay can be disabled. Feel free to try other software. As far as I know, in game overlay is not available on obs natively.
We will tag everyone in this post once it’s fixed.
guys they will fix it as fast as they can dont worry
Any workarounds other then sumply not using the overlay? Scrolled through, didn't see, might have missed it.
it's in the first message
ty ❤️
Fixed problem?
No/yes?
how did you fix it
alright ill show you what mine looks like when i start it
It's fixed here too
I am on MacOS, so it might be different for some people
NICE
Im on windows
Thanks all. Looks like the Black/Grey bar problem has been fixed. Please restart Twitch Studio app or PC if problem is still there. @here
