• Hosts, co-hosts and moderators can now see a "Check audience view" toggle in their Settings window during a live event. When they toggle "Check audience view" on, a little window opens, showing what the audience is currently seeing. The host can move and/or re-size this window as required. Some notes:
• If Check audience view is toggled on while the host is in the green room, they will simply see the audience lobby picture, as that is what the audience sees when the event is not streaming
• The Audience View is local to the host that toggled it on. It does not affect what other participants see or what the audience sees.
• There will be an incremental download bandwidth of 1 Mbps when the Audience View is open. 
• The host can safely Play a Video or Share screen while the Audience View is open.
• Audience View works fine even when the host has enabled Low bandwidth mode. In fact, the audience view can be used as a reduced-bandwidth way for a host to see the other participants' videos! How, you ask? Well, in the regular host view, each participant's video takes up around 1 Mbps of download bandwidth so if there are, say, 4 other participants, the download bandwidth to see all of them will be 4+ Mbps. To date, if the host's network connection couldn't handle that kind of download speed, their only option was to enable Low bandwidth mode, which blocked the download of all videos from all participants. Now, they have another option - they can toggle both Check audience view and Low bandwidth mode on and, as long as they're streaming, they will see the other participants videos in the Audience View window, at a download cost of only 1 Mbps, which most internet connections can handle just fine.

• There is now a Noise Suppression toggle to the Settings window inside an event. Its default setting is off, which means that, if the host, co-host or guest wants to play music or capture the roar of the crowd, they can. On the other hand, if the host, co-host or guest wants to minimize background noise, they can simply toggle Noise Suppression on. 
• When you Browse a category of shows, you'll now see all Upcoming Streams first, followed by Past Streams, so that you can easily find the show you're looking for.

• In the Event Scheduler, you now have the option to add up to 3 pictures, of different aspect ratios, to use in your event card and event page, to make sure your event looks good on any form factor. The 4:3 ratio picture is used on your event card. The 16:9 picture is used as the background on horizontal event pages (e.g. on laptop or desktop devices), while the 1:2 picture makes your event page look great on mobile devices!
• Hosts, co-hosts and moderators can now post clickable links into the Chat, so that any attendee can click on a link in the Chat and go to that URL in a browser.

Release date:       15th March, 2023

• To simplify downloading of recordings of past events, we've added a Get Recording button to events in the Past Streams and Vault sections of your My Stuff page. Both hosts and co-hosts will see this button and be able to download the recording quickly and easily!
  Note: If you have pop-up blockers enabled in your browser, when you click the Get Recording button for the first time, your browser will ask you if you want to enable pop-ups for this site. Select Yes and your download will start. 
• We've simplified the login experience for users by amalgamating two windows into just one really simple one.
• We've spruced up the invitation emails that get sent to co-hosts, guests and moderators when you add them in the Event Scheduler, so that they have all the information they need about the event in that email.

Release date:       6th March, 2023

• You can now blur your background when hosting an event! Just go to Settings and toggle Blur background to on - it's that easy!
• Improvements and fixes relating to microphone, speaker and headset device support. For example, if the platform can't connect to your audio devices when you join an event (e.g. because your device is still being used by another app), we'll let you know, so you can switch or disconnect your device from the other app and then click on the Retry button.
• When you're hosting an event and stop streaming at the end of the event, recording will be stopped before you re-enter the green room so you'll know, when you see the green background, that you're off air and not being recorded. 
• For private events with Make this event's recording available for people to watch later toggled off, recordings will be available to both host and co-hosts, in their Past Streams section of My Stuff. 
• When you schedule an event, if you set the Accept Tips toggle to off, there will be no Tip button visible in the event. 
• In the event scheduler, the default price to watch a replay of an event has been changed to $0, at the request of our hosts.
• We have fixed an issue where, if you sent someone a guest link via a few Instant Messaging apps, the IM app would strip key information from the link and your guest would have problems joining your event when they clicked on the link. You can now happily send someone a guest link via Slack, Whatsapp, Viber, Skype and other IM apps!

Release date:       1st February, 2023

• New and improved Guest link feature! Hosts and co-hosts can generate a guest link, from either the event page or within the event (via Chat/Hosts -> Hosts -> Add guest link) and send it to one or more guests. Each guest, when they click on the link, will sign in and then be taken directly to the event green room or live stream.
• Event guests can now share screen on desktop devices.
• When a host/co-host/moderator clicks Start Stream, all participants will now see a 5..4..3..2..1.. countdown timer. While the timer is counting down, host/co-host/moderator can cancel it and go back to the green room, if necessary.
