🔴 Connect Additional YouTube Livestreams

  • You can now manually connect another active YouTube livestream using its video ID or URL.
  • Messages from multiple connected broadcasts are combined in SheevChat for easier event and collaboration management.
  • Manually connected streams appear as removable controls, making it simple to disconnect one stream or clear them all.

🎁 Recurring Giveaway Promotions

  • Giveaways can now automatically post promotional messages to chat while they are running.
  • Choose the promotion interval, platforms, and message for each giveaway.
  • Promotion messages support giveaway details and update along with the active giveaway.

🔧 Improvements

🟣 Richer Twitch Chat

  • Twitch chat now has improved support for badges, name colors, replies, shared-chat messages, and emotes.
  • Native GIPHY content from Twitch can now display directly in supported chat views.
  • Twitch messages have a more reliable fallback so chat continues appearing if the richer message source is temporarily unavailable.

💳 Cleaner Twitch Credits

  • Improved how Prime subscriptions are handled in Credits to prevent duplicate or misleading subscription entries.

🎨 Overlay Builder

  • Discarding unsaved Overlay Builder changes now uses a clearer, accessible in-app confirmation window.

🔄 To receive the update, simply launch SheevChat or right-click the system tray icon and choose _Check for Updates_.
