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.
