Discovery
The live directory is ranked rather than ordered by start time, and channels that are new or gaining an audience appear in a row above the grid.
Viewers can set a quality floor on the directory and see only streams meeting it. The floor is judged on what a broadcast sustained — measured bitrate and delivered frame rate — rather than on what it was configured to send. The directory and the on-demand list can also be filtered and sorted by follower and viewer counts.
Watch and on demand
Watch carries Live and On Demand as tabs, and On Demand lists videos across every channel instead of one channel at a time. The topic map is now the Topics page. Both video tabs have a filter bar with searchable facets, editable chips, and sorting.
Video retention and clips
Each broadcast carries the retention setting that was in force when it started, so changing the setting governs new broadcasts and leaves the existing catalogue alone. Studio states what each retention option does.
Clips follow the video they came from. Deleting a video says what will happen to its clips, and clipping is offered only where the video is being kept.
Forums
Posts and comments can be edited, and each one keeps a revision history readers can open. An author can mark an edit as sensitive, which keeps that revision out of the public history.
Top takes a time window, either from presets or as a number of minutes you choose, and the sort tabs state what hot and top rank by.
Messages and links
The message dock slides along the bottom edge and resizes from its side, keeps its selection when you open the full page, and timestamps conversations. The compose button carries a label.
Links in posts, comments, and messages expand into media embeds where the provider is one you allow, controlled by a setting and an allowlist, and plain URLs in messages are clickable. Following a link that leaves Kuldron shows a confirmation first, with the option to trust that domain from then on.
Chat
Channels can run chat in slow mode or limit it to subscribers. Viewers can report a message to the channel's moderators. Message length counts characters, so accented and non-Latin text is measured the same as plain English.
Profiles
A Posts tab lists everything a person has written, and profiles open on it. Descriptions render as markdown, on the profile and in the preview card that opens from any name. Profile pictures appear on every row that names a person, and profiles show account age.
Avatar uploads accept the image formats browsers decode natively, and an HDR AVIF upload stays HDR through a 10-bit pipeline rather than being flattened.
Country and gender are editable on the account page. Blocked accounts are managed under Privacy.
Payments
Tips and subscription charges can be refunded by the person who paid, without contacting anyone, within three days of the charge. For a subscription that is its most recent charge, and taking the refund ends the subscription straight away rather than at the end of the period.
Every tip you have sent either offers a refund or says why it cannot: the three days have passed, it is already refunded, or your bank is already disputing it.
A refund comes back out of the earnings of the streamer who received it, and an account that refunds repeatedly can lose the ability to subscribe and tip.
Deleting an account cancels its subscriptions and detaches its saved cards.
Where an account cannot take payouts, the earnings and payouts pages name the reason, including a country where payout onboarding is not offered.
Invitations
An invite is bound to the address it was sent to. Accepting it sets your password on the same screen and lands you logged in, with no separate verification step. An invite that has expired can be re-sent from the same link, and the sender sees whether an invite was delivered. An invite control sits in the navbar, and i opens it. A ? overlay lists the keyboard shortcuts, grouped.
Moderation
Moderation has its own page at /moderation, gathering the queues for every channel you moderate in one place. A creator can step out of their channel's moderation group and remain the creator. Each moderation action states who stops seeing what.
Broadcasting
Streamers can rotate their own stream key from Studio, under Broadcast.
Reference
The reference documentation is organised by audience, and now covers channels, forums, text rooms, direct messages, friends and follows, account security, privacy, invites, copyright claims, embeds, and the CLI.
Touch and small screens
Player controls and message actions are reachable on touch devices. Tap targets meet a 24 pixel minimum, form controls are sized so iOS does not zoom the page, and every left sidebar adapts to narrow screens through one shared rail.
