BoxCast Sites has a new countdown timer that integrates with the BoxCast Streaming Dashboard. You can set it up and forget about it, as it automatically pulls all information related to your next broadcast directly from the Streaming Dashboard. See how it works here!

This week, BoxCast's graphic Overlay feature received updates based on feedback we've received from you! Here are the highlights:

• You have more control over your image position and can even drag images partially or fully off-screen.
• For recurring broadcasts, you can apply changes to all the broadcasts in the series or just the broadcast you're currently editing.
• You can now use hotkeys, like selecting the Overlay in the preview window and hitting the delete button on your keyboard to delete the image.
• A new Active Overlays section allows you to change the order of the Overlay layers.

Check out our support article for the latest updates, and let us know how you feel about these updates in the chat!

Trimming Feature

Our trimming feature has undergone quite a few improvements, including:

• The ability to view the broadcast in the same window while you're making edits
• A more precise trim from broadcasts sent from a BoxCast encoder
• Entering time stamps instead of having to use the scrubbing feature
• And more!
