NowStreaming Changelog

What's new in NowStreaming 3.4

Sep 15, 2023
  • Fix/Update the "Import From Twitch" button: Due to Twitch's new API limitations, from now on this function will only be able to read and import your own user's followed channels. It will not be possible to import the list of other user's followed channels. For 99% of users, this will not be a significant change.
