✨ New Features

Clip Overlay

Share viewer-submitted clips on stream with the new Clip Overlay.

Supported sources include:

  • TikTok videos

  • Instagram Reels
  • Twitch clips
  • Kick clips

The new !playclip command includes source controls, clip length limits, queue management, volume options, and moderator controls for skipping or clearing clips.

Clip Overlay actions are also available for Custom Commands, Automations, Timers, and SheevPad.

Built-in Chat Moderation

SheevChat can now moderate incoming chat across Twitch, YouTube, Kick, and TikTok.

Available filters include:

  • Link protection
  • Banned phrases
  • Excessive caps, symbols, or emotes
  • Message length
  • Repeated messages

Configure warnings, message deletion, timeouts, bans, warning cooldowns, and stronger actions for repeat offenders from the new Moderation tab.

User Counters

Create custom counters that track values separately for individual viewers.

Features include:

  • Saved counter categories
  • Per-viewer and per-platform values
  • Counter history
  • Data Manager editing
  • Increment, set, and reset Automation actions
  • {usercounter:Category} and {target.usercounter:Category} variables

Chat Overlay Presets

Save, apply, and delete complete Chat Overlay presets. Presets can include layout, behavior, sizing, colors, and message styling.

You can also change Chat Overlay presets from Custom Commands, Automations, Timers, and SheevPad, with optional fade transitions between themes.

Recent & Favorite Colors

Color pickers now include quick access to five recent and five favorite colors across overlays and SheevPad.

🔧 Improvements

More Chat Overlay Customization

Added new username layouts, maximum overlay width, message bubble colors and opacity, rounded corners, optional borders, background colors, and a style reset button.

The maximum displayed message count can now be set as low as one.

Reorder Action Sequences

Actions can now be moved up or down in Custom Commands, Automations, Timers, and SheevPad so multi-step sequences run in your preferred order.

Refreshed Settings & Bot Drawers

Settings and Bot now open over the main chat instead of squeezing it. Sections have been reorganized into cleaner collapsible groups, with better layouts at smaller window sizes.

Additional polish includes:

  • Separate Viewer Dock, Chat Dock, and Event Dock sections
  • Cleaner Chat Overlay settings
  • Refreshed Giveaway and Credits layouts
  • Renamed Trivia to Chat Games and Points to Loyalty
  • An option to start SheevChat without automatically opening Settings

SheevPad Save Confirmation

Saving a SheevPad button or group now displays a short success confirmation.
