Need the old Arcade in addition to beta. I did not use Streamer in my yesterday’s stream because my program crashed in Arcade beta, but not in prior version. If I can recreate the problem in a simpler program, I will report the bug.
When face camera is turned off, shows black rectangle. Document camera is also off.
Tested again this morning.
These improvements are awesome, Peli! I love the circular portrait a lot, makes it easier to set up my green screen correctly and it also makes it so I can access the “full screen” button (which is normally covered on my screen size)
Is it possible to do any formats besides .webm? iMovie won’t import it.
How do I try out the shaders?
It’s a hit or miss. I can try to sniff if video/mp4 is supported and use that preferrably, but otherwise .webm is the only one available.

Turn turn on shader, enable “Erase green screen” on your facecam (or hardware). It will also give you access to the thumbnail view.

Looks like this is what we want:
unfortunately it looks like webm is basically all chrome supports and safari doesn’t seem to support all the streamer APIs we need yet.
Chrome does support:
MediaRecorder.isTypeSupported("video/webm\;codecs=h264") // true on Chrome on macOS
which might make transcoding for imovie easier since imovie supports H.264
edit: oh I see that’s already what you use. I’ll see how fast transcoding is…
edit 2: oh heck yeah, since you’re already encoding with h264, it’s just one line and a few seconds to repackage into .mp4 and aac:
ffmpeg -i sample.webm -c:v copy sample.mp4
Instead of having to resize the window to 16:9, couldn’t there be a button to just snap the iframe to 16:9?
Can you beef the docs with this info? (/docs/streamer/docs.md)
You mean keeping a 16:9 frame centered in the window?
@WeCodeMakeCode I’ve added Arcade stable vs Beta.
Yes, have an option to force the aspect ratio of the whole editor + streamer and record only that portion. Not sure recording APIs let you resize to a subset of the tab.
@jazzy i am seeing errors fetching the editors.json file. investigating. This is probably the problem.
For those who have the broken boxes, please try again to see if our fixes solved this.
@MINTGenie the chat window now automatically opens when a new message comes in. No more missing messages in the chat. You can alway safely collapse it knowing that it’ll be back when something new shows up.
Thanks @peli for the quick fix.
Is the countdown timer fixed to only 5 minutes? Is it possible to set the timer so that I can also use for break in sessions ( not more than 20mins)
There is a plus/minus button in countdown mode to add/remove minutes
