Thanks for the quick response Peli. The droidcam supports 480p (4:3), 720p (4:3) and 720p (16:9). The earlier setting was 480p(4:3) and now I just tested 720p(16:9) and this one seems to be working. However the app also mentions that the mobile battery will drain faster and heat up for 720p so If it is possible to also use 480p(4:3), it would be helpful but just a “nice to have”. Thanks again for the pointer about (16:9). Warm regards MINT Genie ---

I’ve settled on 16:9 otherwise i cannot take advantage of 1080p resolutions. It gets really tricky to combine both 4:3 and 16:9 in the layout… so get a vent for the droid 🙂 ---

> [@MINTGenie](#): > > 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… Great suggestion!!! I just fixed this bug and we’ll play your video in a loop. Also startVideo/endVideo also support YouTube now… (unfornatly no transparency so it’s not really appropriate for stinger transitions) ---

Stinger support has arrived! note: YouTube does not allow for a transparent player so best to use local video files. ![stinger](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/a/ab6fe96973297a9048ade84b9b0a4ae7273452ff.gif) ---

It turns out that’s really a pain to create those stinger videos because of the transparency… green screen is now applied to them as well as need (as we support multiple stingers to spice things up). We started creating stingers… using stop motion. We could also create animations in arcade, and erase the green background. ![stinger](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/0/0dcd2001400806812d1010d38a70c392f8b06332.gif) ---

For convinience, I’ve added a full screen button in the upper toolbar. ---

Hi, I have some feedback for MakeCode Streamer: - I have been changing the configuration options to try them, and now I want to go back to the predefined configuration options… I don’t find that option and I think it would be useful. I’m picturing a “Go back to predefined settings” button next to the “Export settings to file” and “Import settings from file” in the configuration window. - In the “Paint” section of the configuration window, it allows to choose the available emojis. It would be very useful to be able to select the emoji from a dropdown with all the emojis. Greetings and thank you ---

OK, I understand. I found that maybe the “Live” category was more suitable. ---

> “Go back to predefined settings” Something like “reset settings”? ---

For the emojis dropdown, it would be useful even to be able to put them with their respective names in between colons, like `:smile:`⇔ 😄 `:+1:`⇔ 👍 and so on. ---
