Last updated
File imports from YouTube, Google Drive and Dropbox now finish reliably. YouTube ad breaks go out more consistently. Your camera recovers on its own after a network drop or an unstable connection.
Manage a long audio playlist in one place. Search it, sort it, drag tracks into order, preview them, rename them, move or remove several at once, and import or export the whole list. The same track can now appear more than once.
Learn more in the Help CenterBuild your question set in a spreadsheet and load it into Crossword or Closest Guess, the way Trivia already works. Export it to edit elsewhere. The built-in question bank is bigger, and a question no longer repeats within one game.
A video imported from a YouTube link used to be re-encoded, which cost you audio quality. An import that already fits your plan limits now arrives untouched.
Paste a link to a YouTube playlist or channel, see the videos it holds, and tick the ones you want. They import together, each with its own progress, and you can cancel at any point.
Learn more in the Help CenterAdd a layer that moves through your images on a timer, with a crossfade between them. Drag images into order; the slideshow loops, shuffles, and can switch to the next scene when it ends.
Learn more in the Help CenterA ready-made template that pairs an audio playlist with an image slideshow, for music streams that run 24/7. The Winter LoFi Countdown template is back as well.
A project now holds up to 300 scenes, 800 layers, 600 files in one playlist and 7,000 playlist files in total. A project already above a limit keeps working, but cannot grow past it.
One API call renames a whole group of files. The response tells you which renames worked and which did not.
Pick one image to show whenever a track has no cover art of its own. The setting sits beside the cover image size in the audio playlist sidebar.

See the Custom PlanTurn on the option in Advanced settings and your YouTube replay goes unlisted as soon as the stream finishes. Publish it again from YouTube whenever you like. Facebook does not offer this.

Learn more in the Help CenterAdd a layer that moves with the sound of your stream, in bar, wave, line or circular style. Point it at all your audio or at one layer, and set its colors and how strongly it reacts.

Learn more in the Help CenterYouTube Super Chats, Super Stickers, new memberships and gifted memberships now arrive with the rest of your chat. A paid message stands out on the overlay in its own color, with the amount.
Upload many files at once, sort them into folders and find any file by name. Select several to move, rename or delete them together.
Set the YouTube category, mark a stream as made for kids and turn DVR off, all from Advanced settings. You can also add the stream to your YouTube playlists.
Learn more in the Help CenterAdd a layer that plays a list of videos in order. Add videos, drag them into place and shuffle them in its manager.
Learn more in the Help CenterRun more than one live stream at the same time on one 24/7 subscription. Each stream you add brings more storage, and the price per stream drops as you add them.

Learn more in the Help CenterAdd a layer that plays a list of audio files one after another, for background music and long streams that run without you.
Learn more in the Help CenterSome platforms have no live chat, or no way for LiveReacting to read its comments. On those streams, share a link and your viewers pick their answer on a web page with the game controls. The page can show the question and the timer as well.
