📢 Release Notes - v1.6.6
✨ New Features
Simultaneous YouTube Live Chats
SheevChat can now connect to horizontal and vertical YouTube broadcasts running at the same time.
Messages from both broadcasts are combined into your YouTube chat feed, while command replies are sent back to the correct broadcast.
Live Stream Timer
When connected to OBS Studio, SheevChat now displays a live session timer beside the platform status indicators.
Mobile Fullscreen Button
Added a manual fullscreen button to Mobile / Tablet Light for devices that continue showing browser controls after the page is installed as an app.
🔧 Improvements
Better YouTube Reliability
Improved YouTube live discovery, simultaneous broadcast handling, and chat reader stability.
YouTube checks now use less API quota, avoid connecting to unrelated or upcoming broadcasts, and keep remaining chats connected if one broadcast becomes unavailable.
More Reliable Viewer Tracking
Improved viewer identity tracking across Twitch, YouTube, Kick, and TikTok so Points, Watchtime, birthdays, colors, giveaways, and User Cards stay with the correct viewer when display names change.
Bot-First Messages
Automations and Timers now consistently prefer the connected bot account for chat messages and Twitch announcements when it has permission.
Better Popout Placement
SheevPad, Marketplace, Media Requests, and Data Manager popouts now open on the same monitor as the main SheevChat window.
