Major update!

New beta feature toggle

• This is necessary if you want some of the features mentioned below.
• To activate early beta features, just go to the bottom of your account settings -> Advanced Features (beta).
• If you already have been broadcasting to Prankcast DO NOT toggle this without talking to me first before your next stream.
• Some configuration settings have changed with the new architecture that we use to enable web app streaming and recording.
• Your previous settings will remain intact until you toggle this and I want to make sure that the transition is smooth for you.

Web broadcaster [Beta opt-in]

• You no longer need to use a third party app to stream to prankcast (you still can though!).
• I ran a 3-hour broadcast test of this on Monday and it was super smooth.
• I also added a test mode button to the bottom so you can test going live with it without alerting people (or needing to fiddle with your settings).
• To try it just click the broadcast button anywhere on the site.
• I need to enable your account for you, but this is more to make sure you understand the rules before I do so.
• It only has 1 input at the moment. A second one is coming soon.
• You can watch a set up video here to get started. https://youtu.be/ZYPxISqyO2Y

Stream recording [Beta opt-in]

• You can now record your streams automatically.
• The 3 settings are:
  • ON [Public] - this will auto publish the recorded stream to your profile after it's over.
  • ON [Private] - this will record, but you will need to manually publish it before anyone else can see it.
  • OFF - Your stream is not recorded at all.
• The default setting is ON [Private] (meaning nobody but you will be able to view it).
• To edit this go to Account Settings -> Broadcast Settings -> Recording Settings.
• The page to view your recordings is not quite ready yet (I had a computer crash while working on it today). :(
• But anything recorded moving forward will be ready when it's live.

Chat control

• You can now set chat to auto-disable new posts when you go offline.
• Account Settings -> Profile Settings -> Chat Customization

Whole bunch o' performance tweaks.
