Hello, everyone.
We always say that every update on getty is special because it brings improvements and new tools for the entire community. This time, however, we feel we’ve taken a particularly important step: getty is evolving to offer a more comprehensive, integrated, and social multistream experience, both for those who stream on Odysee and for their communities.
Version 1.1.8 revamps the public profile, expands the creator dashboard, and introduces new tools for overlays, alerts, discovery, a new relay system, and much more. Here are all the new features.
A More Comprehensive Creator Dashboard
The creator dashboard now greets you with a more comprehensive overview of your activity. From a single location, you can check the status of your streams on Odysee, Twitch, and Kick, as well as review the events generated on each platform.
This new welcome view lets you quickly understand what’s happening on your channels and more easily access the tools you need to manage your content and community.
Discover Streams by Category
The homepage now features a new category slider to browse channels currently live on Odysee.
Streams automatically appear in the corresponding categories when the tags in the live post match Getty’s tag map. This makes it much easier to discover content like Just Chatting or streams of popular video games, such as Diablo IV.
Note
Remember that to track analytics for your live streams on Odysee, you’ll need to configure your channel’s stream analytics in the creator dashboard.
A New Public and Interactive Profile
getty’s public profile has been completely revamped to serve as a hub connecting creators, their streams, and their communities.
Now you can watch an Odysee livestream directly from the profile, participate in chats on Odysee, Twitch, and Kick using the same account, follow the creator on both getty and their Odysee channel, and view real-time stream statistics.
Each creator retains control over their information: in their account settings, they can decide which statistics and sections they want to display publicly.
Custom Titles, Mentions, and Emojis
While you're live, you can now change the title displayed on your public profile without interrupting the stream.
Titles support emojis and mentions, making it easy to highlight guests, collaborators, and other community members directly from your livestream details.
More control over your profile’s appearance
We’ve also expanded the profile settings within the Creator Dashboard. You can now choose which sections will appear when you share your public page, select the name and avatar that will be displayed on your profile and in search results, and customize the username included in your public URL.
The stream link is always available so you can quickly open or copy it. Plus, you can add links to your social media accounts to bring your entire online presence together in a single profile.
New Overlay Editor
Version 1.1.8 of getty features a visual overlay editor for creating custom compositions for OBS and Meld Studio. You'll love it!
You can design overlays using layers, images, text, sounds, and separate rules for each type of alert. This lets you build a unique visual identity for your streams and manage notifications from all your platforms from a single dashboard.
Alerts from Twitch, Kick, Odysee, and Getty
You can now connect your Twitch and Kick accounts to display events generated during your streams in OBS or Meld Studio. Twitch alerts include new followers, subscriptions, renewals, gifted subscriptions, Bits, and raids.
The unified activity system also aggregates events from Odysee, Kick, getty, and various chats, whether within the creator dashboard or directly on your overlay.
The goal is simple: to provide you with a place where you can follow and celebrate the activity of your entire community, no matter where you're watching the stream.
More Comprehensive Recent Events
The recent events system has been expanded to include activity from Odysee, Twitch, Kick, and getty. In the settings, you can choose which ones you want to display in the events widget.
Among the available events are tips received on Odysee, unlocked achievements, giveaway winners, new followers on getty, and chat message streaks.
For Twitch, this includes new followers, subscriptions, renewals, gifted subscriptions, Cheers or Bits, and incoming raids.
On Kick, you can display new followers, subscriptions, renewals, gifted subscriptions, KICKs received, redeemed rewards, changes to stream status, updates to title, category, or language, and moderation actions.
Relay System for Sharing Your Audience
The new Relay system lets you hand off a stream to another trusted creator when your live stream ends. Similar to Twitch raids, you can redirect your audience to another streamer who is currently live and help keep the community connected.
Important
Creators can also join a trusted network to receive relay requests from other streamers. This way, communities can discover new channels while creators collaborate and grow together.
Searching for and Discovering Creators
getty has introduced a new user search system that makes it easier to find creators and streamers on the platform, visit their profiles, and discover the content they post on Odysee.
To protect the privacy of each account, only those who have set a public username in the profile settings of the creator dashboard will appear in the search results.
Redesigned Login
We've also redesigned the login experience. You can now access getty using your Odysee account through a clearer, more straightforward, and unified interface.
This change reduces friction when accessing the platform and strengthens the connection between your Odysee identity and the tools available on getty.
A New Notification System
The new notification center lets you receive updates that truly interest you and choose where you want to see them. Through this system, we’ll share getty updates and other important communications, keeping all relevant information organized and accessible.
You can also receive desktop notifications, updates on new getty events such as new followers, app updates, and much more. You can change your notification settings in the preferences.
An Important Step for getty
With version 1.1.8, getty has established itself as a viable alternative for those looking to manage their multistream, alerts, community, and identity all in one place.
Our approach isn’t just about bringing tools together. Some of getty’s features leverage decentralized technologies and permanent storage on Arweave and AO, working in tandem with the Odysee ecosystem. This allows us to explore experiences where creators can have greater autonomy, control, and permanence over certain aspects of their digital presence.
Not all activity or data on getty is processed in a decentralized manner. As we expand this infrastructure, we’ll clearly explain in the near future what information is stored on Arweave, how it’s stored, and what concrete benefits it provides to users.
We still have a lot to improve and build, but this update represents one of the most significant milestones in getty’s evolution. We’ll continue to listen to the community, refine each tool, and develop new ways to make streaming, connecting, and growing easier and easier.
