Your link stays the same across reloads, so anyone you have ever sent it to can watch
again. Both of these take effect the next time you go live.
New link mints a fresh key, so old links can no longer watch — but they
still name you, and whoever holds one can still tell when you are live.
New ID goes further: a new identity, so old links point at nobody and
reveal nothing. It cannot be undone, and everyone you still want watching needs the new link.
A line across the bottom of every frame: coordinates, how accurate they are, and the
UTC time that frame was captured — taken from our edge rather than from this
computer's clock, so a viewer can compare it with their own and read the delay off the
screen. ±12m means your device's own fix; ~city means
it could not get one and the line is showing roughly where the network puts you.
This is not proof of anything, and nothing here can make it so — it raises the cost of
a casual lie, no more. It also puts your location in the picture, for everyone holding
the link.
Drawn faintly in the upper left of every frame. Whatever you type — we do not check
it, own it, or know whether it is yours.
Drawn on a plate in the upper right, big enough that a phone pointed at the screen
can actually read it — drag it to move or resize it. Encoded here in your browser,
so nothing is told which link you are putting on screen. A long URL needs a bigger
plate; past a point it will not fit at a size any camera can scan, and this will say so.
Not your viewer link. That one carries the key, and putting it on
screen as a QR hands your stream to anyone who can see the screen.
Panel under the video — notes, links, an embed
Shown to anyone watching, under the picture. Text is text: a <script>
you type is eleven characters on screen and nothing more. Saved against this
broadcast's identity, so only you can change it, and it takes effect for viewers the
next time they open the link.
Send the link and the passcode by different means — read the passcode
aloud, or text it. Anyone who gets both can watch. Choosing New locks
out everyone holding the old passcode, and takes effect the next time you go live.

asks you for nothing. Watching never needs one; only broadcasting does.
