• Creator tools (beta) — verify your channel, add moderators, set slow mode / emote-only.

Version 1.1
Released Jun 27, 2026 - 137.5 KBWorks with firefox 115.0 and later- Firefox support — Lyve is now packaged for Firefox alongside Chrome.
- Sign in with Google — sign in with your Google account as an alternative
to email/password. - YouTube channel verification — verify that you own a YouTube channel.
- Username colors are now public — the color you pick travels with each
message, so everyone on the video sees it (previously it only showed on your
own screen).
- Emote & emoji picker — capitalization-aware autocomplete, a "recent"
row, it remembers the last tab you used, and you can search emoji with
:name. - Appearance - a preset color palette plus a custom color picker, and chat
badges that show their name on hover. - Performance - message polling pauses while the tab is hidden to cut
background network and CPU use. - Overlay polish - better scrolling, empty-state messaging, a
return-to-latest button, and tidier in-player button spacing.
- Built-in profanity and username filtering.
- Per-browser manifests and a
build.ps1packaging script.
