August 8, 2026

Added

• Recent team channels appear in channel search before you type.

• Re-anchor control in looped lane column headers when playback has wrapped past its original anchor point. Use it to lock playback to the current item before adding content so that audience playback is uninterrupted.

• Confirmation when selecting a different item on an active lane. The alert warns that playback will change for viewers, and you can enable Live Seek from the prompt or the preview bar to skip it on future changes.

Changed

• The add-content lane picker disables lanes whose queue cannot fit the selected item and uses the same card layout as Add Lane.

Fixed

• Jump to now playing in loop lane playlists only appears when the playing item scrolls out of view, and the list keeps the current item pinned at the top as playback advances.

• Mute overlay visibility and stacking above the video embed.

• Fixed delete message permissions for channel moderators.

• Deleted chat messages are hidden from the chat history.

• Chat is now limited to the lastest 50 messages.

• A status icon shows while content URL's are verified.

Changed

• Channel and content search wait for 2 characters and a short pause before searching.

August 4, 2026

Added

• Add more than one Schedule lane in the Vision Mixer to run separate programming grids on the same channel.

• Schedule planned livestreams on the calendar with a start time and length.

August 2, 2026

Added

• EPG categories show how many channels are listed in each category in the picker.

• Cut and Fade stinger styles in the Vision Mixer. Cut jumps instantly to your chosen color; Fade crossfades to color. Both use the per-channel color picker in the stinger controls.

Changed

• Category arrow keys skip empty categories while browsing the EPG. My Favorites and My Channels stay in the rotation when signed in.

• Channel owners see an (expired) label on their category when the weekly listing window has passed and it is time to refresh.

August 1, 2026

Added

• Vision Mixer lanes start with a ready-to-use queue. Add content without setting up a queue first.

• When nothing is playing, the empty lane preview shows centered next-step actions.

• Block item preview shows filler breaks in your schedule before you save.

July 27, 2026

Added

• Lane scheduling in the Vision Mixer. Each column header has an alarm clock button to set start and optional end times, clear schedule metadata on user lanes, and save deferred activation or shutoff without using the lane toggle. While a lane is on air, the start time is read-only; you can still adjust or add an end time.

• The alarm icon turns mint when a lane has a future start time and coral when an active lane has a scheduled shutoff.

• Turning a lane on before its scheduled start, or off before its scheduled end, shows a confirmation because it replaces the scheduled time.

• Reorder queue items with drag handles in Sort mode in the queue editor.

• Hide Schedule, Fallback, and Livestream lanes from the Vision Mixer with the column footer minus button. System lanes stay non-deletable. Hidden lanes leave the mixer and skip playback until restored.

• Welcome onboarding modal on the home page and under Help & Info, with Start Watching, What is React.tv, and Create Channel.

• On your first broadcast page visit, choose which system lanes to include for new channels.

July 15, 2026

Upcoming

• Data migration to detach all but the first queue from each non-fallback, non-schedule lane. Each lane is limited to one queue for performance.

July 11, 2026
