Moving the leader's chat

Hello,

Would it be possible to move the leader’s chat, so that it is no longer located above our avatar, because it hinders the view of the riders in front of us (so we can see less easily if we are correctly placed in their wheel). If the leader talks too often, it becomes really annoying.

If you don’t want to ignore him completely and thus the whole chat, how about putting the leader’s interventions on the left side of the screen, below the display of our power?

Great idea !
It’s annoying to see the chat in the middle of the screen when trying to watch the action while riding. I’d rather see it in the normal chat window on the right side of the screen.

This was a big complaint when Zwift introduced the leader chat. I think having it in the bottom 1/3 would be a lot better.

I would love an option to turn it off from the center of the screen so it only shows up as other chat next to the riders nearby list. It could be highlighted like when you are in a meetup to help signal the message is from the leader.

Great idea! I’ve been requesting they move the chat for years for this exact reason. Lower third makes sense. Companion App only chat option would be another option.

Ride leader chat messages appearing in the centre of the screen is too much of a distraction from the ride experience. I’d like to see these messages in the lower third of the screen and out of the ‘field of view’ we’re usually focusing on while riding or racing the final lap if the group ride includes this. 

All closed caption/subtitles appear in the lower third in movies/TV/etc, so it’d be more consistent to have them placed in the lower third of the screen.

+1 Totally agree. Especially in race format.

Currently, any text from the Yellow Beacon appears almost exactly mid-screen - right in front of the road section you’re trying to look at. This prevents you from seeing sprint starts until you are on top of them!

Same thing with the random names appearing above riders - get rid of them! (or at least give us the option of toggling them off). They serve no purpose that I can see and again, in large group events, the multitude of random rider names are in the way of seeing the sprint start!

This board is a total waste of internet bandwidth.

something weird is going on here

I merged all the same requests. Maybe we can get some traction. :slight_smile:

yeah, good luck with that!

Not sure about traction. I guess this is a resolution of sorts from my post four years ago… :man_facepalming:t2:

@GPLama had the original lower thirds post.

I wanted to start with your post but picked the on with the most votes.

One day it will happen, things are moving fast we are getting more levels.
