Instant Playlist Navigation & 2FA Updates

Written by Mario Jankovic August 25, 2025 · Updated October 15, 2026 · 1 min read
  1. Jump to Any Song or Video Instantly
  2. Secure Sign In with app or email based 2FA
  3. General Improvements

We’re excited to announce a set of new features that makes streaming with your playlists more flexible and user friendly than ever.

Jump to Any Song or Video Instantly

You can now play any track from your audio playlist or any video from your video playlist at any moment, just by clicking it. This is perfect for fulfilling audience song requests or switching the vibe on the fly. No need to wait for the current song or video to finish.

In addition to direct play, you can:

  • Skip forward or backward through your playlists with a single click
  • Switch between different tracks in your audio playlist or jump to specific videos in your video playlist
  • Keep your stream running without interruption, just like a DJ set, whether you’re mixing up the order or following requests as they come in

Secure Sign In with app or email based 2FA

We’ve added full two-factor authentication (2FA) with email support by default. When you log in, you’ll automatically receive a secure verification code sent to your email. If you prefer using an authenticator app instead, you can easily set that up from your account settings.

Pre-recorded live streaming

Turn recordings into live streams.

Upload videos, schedule them as live events, or keep a channel running up to 24/7 without staying on camera or leaving a computer online.

General Improvements

We’ve also made some updates under the hood, including:

  • Mobile interface tweaks for better usability
  • Light and dark mode improvements
  • Various stability and speed improvements across the platform

As always, thanks for your feedback. These features are live now, and we hope they make your session setup and audience interaction simpler and more fun.
