New Dashboard interface made available to all streamers at twitch.tv!
Twitch just pushed a update to the dashboard interface for all streamers which makes the menus rearrangeable and collapsible. Handy to switch around the board and hide away parts you don't really use on a daily basis.Here is how the new dashboard looks from default:
Panel Sections include the following:
- Announcements - seems they will use this to link updates, status message and news articles.
- Stream Information - use this to set your stream title, broadcast language, and what game your currently playing.
- Stream Health - shows if your stream is configured correctly, the status and additional information for troubleshooting problems via Twitch Inspector.
- Video Preview - displays your stream on the dashboard.
- Stats - variety of different statistics for your stream.
- The number of people currently watching the stream.
- How long you have been streaming for in the current session.
- Number of clips that have been made.
- Total number of channel views.
- Number of followers
- Host - view all the different channels hosting your stream.
- Run Commercial (Partners Only) - slider showing a ad block time frame with a button to trigger advertisements.
Here is a screenshot of the old dashboard interface:
Advantages of the new dashboard over the old is pretty straight forward, you can hide sections and make the dashboard alot smaller taking up a small amount of screen space.
