Anyone else annoyed by the GIANT water mark that has been added in the stories videos?

Everyone! Stories is a great idea but it needs a lot of work before it can be seen as anything more than a gimmick sadly.

There are a dozen posts about this already, you are not the only one requesting it be optional

Perfecting the watermark is probably what took so long in releasing the Story Mode !

Hi, thanks for your feedback. This was forwarded to our team to see if we could possibly provide an option to enable and disable the watermark on the story mode. Please pay attention to our website for further updates. Thank you for understanding.

Welcome to the Forum!  As you can see there have been a number of posts complaining (on a number of levels!) about this 'feature.'  ;-)
