Besides, as written below, this is not the only use for Ticker. To be fair, having messages rotated in a news ticker still does not guarantee the audience acknowledging them, but I believe that it increases their chances to do so. The streamer would put it in the bottom or top of their stream and will be able to edit the text thatвЂ™s being rotated, making it easy to communicate announcements, commands, stream-specific instructions, and memes. The solution - implementing a horizontal text slide, as they do on the news.

The bio is long and essentially made invisible by the stream (as it sits below it). Chatbot posts are easy to miss (especially if the viewer has their chat closed). The stream title is quite short, and can only convey so much information. That got me thinking - how can a streamer show the audience whatвЂ™s going on at a glance? Streamers typically use the stream title, chatbots and the bio/description to tell the audience whatвЂ™s happening. вЂњI have answered this question just 2 minutes ago, I am not answering this againвЂќ, вЂњFor the Xth time this streamвЂ¦вЂќ, are expressions I hear far too often in streams. However, the fact that the streamer has to answer the same questions over and over causes frustration for everybody involved. They indicate that the audience is interested in the content. These questions themselves are a good thing. A phenomenon I keep seeing in all kinds of streams is repeating questions from viewers: вЂњWhat mode are you playing?вЂќ, вЂњWill you be doing a Halloween stream?вЂќ, вЂњHow do I play with you?вЂќ, and so on. A part of what makes live streams great is the interactivity between the streamer and the audience. Ticker, a customizable news ticker app that IвЂ™ve been developing for broadcasters, was conceived in that exact manner.

Being someone who watches streams, develops software and generally likes to solve problems, I often find myself thinking about recurring problems I see in streams.
