  • Quickly set an existing game from your collection as a OBS browser source using “Set Active” button on a game card.
  • ‘Set Active’ button updates a fixed address to that game card, it also copies a url to your clipboard.

  • Card theme view override, cards save with the style customisations you are using at time of save. You can now choose to override those styles with your current theme when viewing in the collection tab.

Adding cards to the ‘Collection’ tab.
