Pop-out stream windows: Twitch streams on desktop now play in their own window — one per stream — with fullscreen via a hover button, double-click, or F11.
Player controls: hover over a pop-out stream window for play/pause, mute, a volume slider, and fullscreen. They stay in sync with the stream card, and a new "Show controls on player" toggle on the Live → Streams tab hides them if you prefer a clean window.
Clips: a Clip button on the stream card captures the live moment and gives you a link to copy or open. Twitch needs a one-time reconnect to grant the new permission — you'll see a prompt.
Watch where you are: pressing Watch now opens the stream on the surface you pressed it from (desktop window or VR), and a new "Show in VR" / "Show on desktop" button brings a playing stream to the other surface without restarting it.
Live at a glance: stream cards show a pulsing LIVE badge, viewer count, and uptime before you start watching, and recent-channel chips get a pulsing live dot with the viewer count on hover.
Live notifications: optional dashboard toasts when your stream goes live or offline — toggle under Settings → Twitch → General.
The pop-out chat window now shows a LIVE badge with your current viewer count.
Twitch sign-in for playback: link your Twitch browser session under Settings → Twitch → General so streams play with your account's benefits (fewer ads, subscriber-only streams). Guided sign-in or manual paste — and clearing it asks for confirmation first, since playback falls back to anonymous.
Stream quality gets an Auto option, and your chosen quality is remembered for future streams.
Chat messages that @mention you are now highlighted.
Bug Fixes
Ad warnings no longer linger after your stream ends.
Chat auto-scroll no longer silently stops after emote images load — chat stays pinned to the bottom unless you scroll up on purpose.
When a live stream's connection drops, the player now reconnects in place — faster, without tearing the video down — and if the channel has truly ended, the card shows that with a Retry button instead of freezing on the last frame.
Watching a channel that's offline or doesn't exist no longer leaves the card stuck on Stop — the error shows next to the Watch button and retrying works right away.
Stream cards stay in sync between VR and the desktop window — starting or stopping a stream on one side updates the other immediately.
Going live now shows in your stream status immediately instead of waiting for the next check.
Pop-out stream windows now show the vrOS icon.
Fixed a visual artifact on disabled tabs (a stray line and a darkened neighboring tab).
