Go Live: Web Updates Host UI Changes

General updates and cleanups to the UI on both desktop and mobile browsers.
Expanded aspects of UI so chat and queue take up less space of view
Updated features to how you manage your items while live

Key/New Features

Can pop out the chat into a new window on Desktop - see the "chat" icon in the top-right of the screen

A toggle to enable/disable shop. This is always enabled by default. If you wish to "close shop" for the day in your stream you can toggle this off to stop sales.
- Alternatively you can minimize the queue by clicking in the area and scrolling down. Scrolling up maximizes the queue again.

Updated the queue area so it's easier to see and manage. This scrolls horizontally as you have new things going into the queue
- If this is turned off, users who are in the middle of attempting a purchase in your stream will be prevented from doing so. Please be certain you wish to turn this off once ready

Filter chat messages: by default can see all messages but now have a gear icon beside your chat to view purchases only, or follows only, etc.
- If you go back to start typing in the chat, it will revert this back to the default setting so you can see all the messages coming through the chat.
Queue's Promotions tab now allows the simultaneous view of auction, giveaway, and flash sale so you can view them all at once and make them.
- If each are running they take priority on screen in the same order (auction -> giveaway -> flash sale)
Settings have been moved to the top left-hand side. Largely same functionality as previously, though there are some minor UI improvements with transitions between turning settings on or waiting for something to load (such as a simulcast connection)
- FAQs in settings: When you access the settings, there is a feature that enables you to incorporate frequently asked questions (FAQs) into your stream.
Auction cards now display the current status for both the seller and viewers. In addition to the regular auction information, the cards show whether the reserve has been met, if it has been canceled, or any other relevant status updates.

Auction tiles now show real-time payment status ("processing," "paid," or "failed") without needing to switch screens (only seen by you)

After completing an auction or giveaway, a popup summarizes the information and allows direct action. Users can update the image, take a screenshot, or edit the order title. "Run again" initiates a new screen for repeating or modifying the process. Streamers can easily create multiple auctions with the same details. Completed auctions can be re-run from the queue with a "Re-run" button.

Best Practices/Tips

New UI offers the ability to pop out the chat and store from the live page on desktop browser.
After an auction or giveaway, a summary popup is displayed, allowing direct action on the order. You can update the image, take a screenshot, or edit the order title. Clicking "Run again" within the popup initiates a new screen to repeat or modify the process. This feature is ideal for streamers running multiple auctions consecutively. Additionally, completed auctions can be re-run directly from the queue using the "Re-run" button on the tile.

Create and start auctions, giveaways, and flash sales directly from your queue

The queue tiles for each type now include two buttons: "create new" and "select from shop." Clicking select from shop will navigate you to your stream shop where you can choose an existing item to run the promotion for, which is the current experience. Now we've also included "create new" right from this screen, which you can use to create a brand new item and start the promotion, such as an auction, all in the same action.

Perfect for those streamers who enjoy running continuous auctions and making them on the fly.

Auction cards display status

The statuses shown are "processing," "paid," and "failed."

Completed auction/giveaway summary popup

Once an auction or giveaway is completed, we will now display a popup that summarizes the information and allow you to take action on the order directly from that window if you like. This includes updating its image, taking a screenshot of what you have on screen, or editing the order title.

In addition to this, if you wish to run the same auction or giveaway again you can do so right from the popup by clicking "Run again," which will initiate a new screen where you can start the same thing again or modify its details. Perfect for those streamers who may create several auctions based on the same information or item and run them one after another.

You can also re-run the same auction or giveaway once they complete directly from the queue, with a "Re-run" button now appearing on the queue tile once the item is completed.

FAQs

1. Where can you find the button for adding a new item (quick add) that was previously located in the shop?

If you want to add a new item (quick add) that button is now in the shop, which you can then do from here. This is the same functionality as the current quick add, just moved to a new location.

2. Can I start another auction/giveaway/sale from the same location?

Once the auction/giveaway/sale you run is over, you can click "Done" from the item's tile in the queue to close that and you could start another from here as well. Otherwise, you can start any of these directly from the shop.
