YouTube Support

In the previous release, YouTube was only available as stream suggestions on the home screen. This update brings full YouTube integration across the entire app:

  • Multiple simultaneous live streams: Channels broadcasting multiple games or events at the same time (like CazéTV, tournament organizers, or sports channels) now list every active stream in your sidebar and feed, rather than just showing a single broadcast.
  • Channel favorites and recent history: You can now favorite any YouTube channel by pasting a stream link, using its channel name, or entering its handle. Channels also save properly to your recent history.
  • Accurate live status: The viewer counters in the sidebar now display actual concurrent viewers watching in real time, along with updated stream titles and channel avatars.
  • Integrated channel search: The search bar can now look up YouTube channels directly, showing channel profile pictures and current live indicators without requiring any account setup.
  • Reliable sharing and importing: Sharing or importing layouts that include multiple YouTube broadcasts now preserves the exact stream for each slot, preventing duplicate channel conflicts.
  • Cleaner loading screen: The player loading screen now displays the channel's profile picture while connecting to the stream.

Note: This feature is functional, but it is not 100% stable yet. Additionally, sending messages in YouTube chat is still not supported at this time, just like with all other iframe chats (unlike the native ones).
