When your chat is moving fast, it’s easy to lose track of which comments you’ve already shown on screen.

Now, comments you’ve shown on stage are clearly marked, so you can instantly see what’s been covered and pick up right where you left off.

When you hide a comment from the stage, it will appear faded in the Comments section, making it easier to see where you left off and avoid showing the same comment twice.

Here’s how it works:

• While streaming, open your Comments section
• Show a comment on stage
• Hide the comment from the stage
• The comment will appear faded, so you know it’s already been shown

Stay on top of even the busiest chats, and keep your stream flowing smoothly.

We’ve refreshed Streamyard’s design, with a brighter color palette, cleaner interface and brand new logo.

The aim of this revamp is to celebrate all the improvements—big and small—that the team has brought to Streamyard in the last year, while staying true to the core simplicity that users love.

What’s changed:

• A brand new Streamyard logo—with a fresh design for Puddles, our beloved duck 🦆
• A more vibrant color palette, doubling down on our signature electric blue
• A more modern font
• Softer buttons and sidebar, with a more friendlier, more polished feel
• A sprinkling of micro-interactions throughout the product (try hovering over the logo 😉)
• A friendlier, more inviting dashboard for new users

What hasn’t changed:

• All core features and workflows—Streamyard works just the same as before.

Our new look is designed to support everything we’re building next, helping you reach more people, engage your audience, and grow your community—without compromising an inch on the delightful simplicity that makes Streamyard, well, Streamyard.
