We’ve introduced new features that streamline stream organization and enhance design controls, making it easier to manage and customize your streams.

Stream Organization

Managing multiple streams is now easier with our new comprehensive tag filtering system. You can create custom tags to categorize your streams and use advanced filtering options to quickly find and organize your content. The streamlined navigation system makes it simple to handle multiple stream setups, whether you’re running a few streams or managing a larger content operation.

Stream Designer Updates

The Stream Designer now features enhanced layer visibility controls, giving you better control over your workspace organization. You can now show or hide individual elements with intuitive toggle controls, making it easier to focus on specific aspects of your design. This improvement is especially valuable when working with complex stream layouts, allowing for a cleaner and more efficient workflow when managing multiple stream elements.

Other Updates

We’ve made several improvements to scheduling and text display features. The new daily schedule repeat function ensures more reliable automated streaming, while the addition of scrolling text and metadata display options gives you more ways to engage with your audience. We’ve also enhanced our audio visualizer with preview functionality, making it easier to perfect your stream’s audio-visual elements.

Advanced Scheduling

  • New “Repeat Schedule Every Day” feature that automatically updates based on the current date
  • Graceful video fade out for scheduled stream endings ensures smooth transitions
  • Improved scheduling reliability and consistency

Text Display

  • Added scrolling text (marquee) support
  • Integration of video and audio metadata display options
  • Enhanced text customization options

Audio Visualizer

  • Added preview functionality for testing visualizer settings
  • Implemented 30 FPS cap for better stability
  • Enhanced customization options

Bug Fixes and Optimizations

  • Enhanced browser settings persistence on stream refresh
  • Fixed visualizer behavior with multiple audio sources
  • Improved audio/video synchronization
  • Fixed various UI-related issues in the stream designer

These updates represent our ongoing commitment to providing you with the best possible streaming experience. We appreciate your feedback and continue to work on new features and improvements.
