Really loving the new updates to Streamer now. Really excited about our live stream workshop this weekend and I want to use streamer as a compositer and setup a teams meetings or a google meet meeting and share the streamer page. I was able to setup my streamer how I wanted but worried that it will take time to setup every time. **Request #1** Is there a way you can add an option to load/save configurations (just key-value pairs maybe???) and default to off if say one of the camera sources or app windows is not open. **Request #2** Can you please not make the microbit (or any) editor reload when switching back from the extra websites . I would like for that to be preserved per session. Thanks again for making this soooo user friendly MINTGenie ---

Hi, wow, Makecode Streamer is really cool and helpful and so easy to use. It’s amazing that this all is working in a web app. I noticed the camera image is not completely round when I use my camera (HP Spectre 13’’) but there is some clipping on top and at the bottom. ![screenshot_streamer](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/d/d1e367107601e1a608b4c89815c403e774e9786a.jpeg) Is there a git repo where we can report bugs? - Are you planning to open source Streamer? 😉 ---

Yeah I need to move it out of MakeCode… it is currently in the pxt repo. ---

No, it seems to be hidden when taking a screenshot with this button: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/0/07850a8cfe8a051f9d36e135e28a2eca59dbd967.png) ---

We did a design review and I made a few updates. Most importantly, all view controls are now part of the video which saves a lot of space and make it easier to navigate views. ---

Loving the new updates again… thanks When I add a youtube video to either countdown or to Extra websites link, The video is not played. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/b/b42c746a047ce2ea65d3cd06297f02cfdce942ed.png) Can you please help.

- YouTube is not currently supported. You’ll have to link to a video hosted somewhere else. - Is there a way to stop scaling the document cam when it is made prominent (in the 2 camera view) Not sure what you mean. Screenshot? ---

Can you please add option to load/save a config file with the streamer configuration - we want team members to be able to customize their streams. Also saw that YouTube links are working when added as a background video but not for the extra websites or for the countdown entry/exit. Other links to videos (ex. some on our website) could be added but not youtube. The screen just goes blank… Another question I had is - when are the available video sources scanned/rescanned. I am using droid cam (an android app) which lets me use my mobile as a camera and streams to PC (droid cam client). It was working till this past Sunday but now when I choose the source on document cam, it just picks up the Face cam feed only. Can you please help Warm regards MINT Genie ---

I’ve added import/export buttons in the settings dialog. > Also saw that YouTube links are working when added as a background video but not for the extra websites or for the countdown entry/exit. Other links to videos (ex. some on our website) could be added but not youtube. The screen just goes blank… Right… i need to fix those. > when are the available video sources scanned/rescanned. I have changed the settings to request 16:9 HD cameras… maybe your camera is not compatible. Can you specify the resolution of droid cam?
