YouTube – Multiple livestreams support. Stream Focus now automatically detects all public livestreams on your channel and shows combined chats and alerts for all of them. (20 max).
YouTube – The YouTube viewer count now shows the combined viewer count for all livestreams on your channel. If you’re dual-streaming and click the “Focus YouTube” button, it will show a split viewer count (horizontal viewers on the left, and vertical viewers on the right).
YouTube – Chats/Alerts from vertical streams will display the YouTube Shorts icon.
YouTube – Stream Focus now detects when your stream ends and will stop monitoring YouTube.
YouTube – Added a “Check Channel Again” button. Why? Essentially, Stream Focus checks your channel automatically for any public livestreams you have running, as you would expect. But this lookup is costly to our API quota. So it will not check indefinitely. It will only auto-check for about 10 minutes and then stop checking if it hasn’t found anything. (This likely means you’re not live yet). After that, you can press this button to tell Stream Focus to start checking for more livestreams again.
TikTok – Added a basic Spam Filter that uses “quality scores” from TikTok. It hides messages that TikTok marks as more likely to be spam. This scoring system is not perfect. Sometimes normal messages get marked as spam, and sometimes spammy messages get marked as normal. From my own tests, this is mostly helpful for streams with thousands of viewers where bots are injecting malicious spammy comments. On smaller streams with 0-2,000 viewers, you’ll likely find that this Spam Filter is not that helpful and is hiding more messages than you’d like.
Removed
YouTube – Removed the “Find Stream Automatically” toggle as it’s no longer needed. Stream Focus now auto-detects any/all livestreams magically.
YouTube – Historic chats/alerts received prior to connection no longer get shown. This now matches the behavior of Twitch/TikTok.
YouTube – Removed the ability to enter a Channel ID (i.e. UCYk-yy4tkrWpvYu_iM6fjtA). I feel it’s not needed.
YouTube – Removed the ability to enter stream links manually. This is no longer needed for public streams since we now auto detect all public streams on a channel. However, this does mean private streams are no longer accessible by SF. Will add this back in the future.
Fixed
YouTube – No longer required to put “@” before username.
YouTube – Viewer count is now updated every 5 seconds instead of every 30 seconds.
YouTube – Usernames and messages are now sanitized to remove hidden Unicode characters that were causing garbled or misaligned text.
UI – Fixed an issue where the “Scroll Pause” button would lag if you continued to scroll down while it was animating down.
