Inside Chew Tech #22 - Updates!
This week’s Inside Chew Tech update to Chew sees a few incremental improvements across chat, the new and improved player and more. Read on to find out what we’ve been up to!
Oudjat demoing our chat updates!
We’ve rolled out a few chat updates this week. First, you can now run Chew chat in a pop out window separate to the player. Soon, you’ll also be able to run chat in its own embed code too! You can now follow users in chat with the new hovercards (simply hover over a user’s name to follow them). Lastly, we’ve started work on the chat mod tools some of you guys have been requesting. More news on that soon!
Things don’t always go to plan with live or archived streams - so for when things go wrong, we’ve updated the error messages you’ll see to give you more info on what could be going wrong (so if something’s not working quite right, you should be able to see what’s up!)
You can now stream to any of our regional servers (rather than being limited to your nearest one). We’ve got more updates here coming which should improve your broadcast experience on Chew!
For anyone who’s checked out the brand new Chew API, you can now set a from/to date range when searching for shows. Again, more updates coming to the API! In the meantime, check it here.
