Written by Ivor May 3, 2024 · Updated April 21, 2026 · 1 min read

We’re thrilled to introduce the latest addition that will elevate your streaming experience: the Spectrum Visualizer. This new feature allows you to integrate dynamic visual elements such as equalizer bars, pulsating waves, and mesmerizing circles that sync perfectly with your video or audio playlist.

To get started, simply navigate to the Stream Designer tab within your streaming dashboard. Look for the “Add audio visualizer” icon located in the left-hand toolbar. With just a click, you can start transforming your streams with visuals that move to the beat of your content.
