v5.66.0 Update Notes

Warning

The existing Show Text effect has been changed in two important ways:

  1. Variables (e.g. $username) used in the text field of that effect are now processed to automatically safely appear on the overlay. If you had any variables that output raw HTML, that HTML will no longer work. You should migrate those to the Show HTML effect which allows advanced HTML input.
  2. The existing Show Text effect has been deprecated and will be removed in a future Firebot update. There is a new Show Text effect that more closely aligns with modern overlay effect configurations. However, this new version does not allow any HTML usage. If you require the use of HTML, please use the Show HTML effect. Otherwise, migrate to the new Show Text effect immediately.

Note

As announced in the Firebot 5.65 release notes, Run Sequential Effect and Run Random Effect are now deprecated and can no longer be added to effect lists. While they will continue to function for now, we highly recommend migrating to the new Sequential (Single) and Random effect list run modes immediately.

✨ New

  • Chat Overlay Widgets! This long-awaited feature is finally here: You can now display your channel's chat feed directly in your Firebot overlay! (#3272)
    • Chat: While the design of the standard chat widget itself is fairly basic, we've added a ton of settings so you still have lots of control over how your chat will appear on your overlay, including fonts, showing/hiding specific elements, /me & highlighted message display settings, and much more.
    • Chat (Advanced): However, if you're looking to fully customize your chat widget, there's also an advanced version of the chat overlay widget. With the advanced version, you supply your own HTML and CSS to create a chat widget that looks exactly the way YOU want!
  • Twitch Custom Power-Ups! We worked closely with Twitch to launch this feature side-by-side with Twitch's rollout to all eligible streamers! Similar to channel rewards, custom power-ups allow you to have any number of effects run when someone redeems them. However, these will actually earn you bits! Just create your custom power-up on the Twitch dashboard, open Firebot, and add whatever effects you like.
  • Twitch Watch Streaks! We've added the Watch Streak event along with some supporting variables. (#2960)
  • You can now specify clip duration and an optional custom title when using the Create Clip effect (#3447)
  • Added new Show Text effect with more modern configuration. This replaces the existing Show Text effect.
  • Added the following new events:
    • OBS Exiting
    • OBS Scene Item List Reindexed
    • Power-up Redemption
    • Watch Streak
  • Added the following new variables:
