v2.15.10 — A live studio built for phones
The live studio has been rebuilt mobile-first: the studio, channel, manager, sessions and stream settings all work properly on a phone, with portrait or landscape streams. On desktop, the manage page gains a two-column layout with pinned chat, and profiles get Podcasts and Live tabs.
WebMobileAPI
Going live from your phone should feel as natural as posting a poem. This release rebuilds the live experience around that.
A mobile-first live studio
- Every screen — the studio, channel, manager, sessions and stream settings are redesigned for phones, on the web and in the app.
- Portrait or landscape — set your stream's orientation.
- Slow mode — slow the chat down when it gets busy.
- Live effects — reactions and effects layered over the stream.
Managing a performance on desktop
- Two columns — your controls scroll on the left while the chat stays pinned on the right.
- Picture-in-picture — the video follows you when you scroll away from it.
- Your tab order — rearrange the manager's tabs, and your order is remembered.
- Session tab — on mobile web, edit your title and description and toggle Be Right Back from the first tab.
Recording and past sessions
- Recording toggle — choose whether a session is recorded.
- Custom player — new player controls for recordings.
- Past sessions — play back properly again.
Profiles and the Live hub
- New profile tabs — profiles now have Podcasts and Live tabs.
- Live hub — an overhauled Live hub with a creator panel and clearer sub-pages, including upcoming performances from people you follow.
