What changed

Turkish joins the language list everywhere. A member translated the whole overlay with the upload in Settings, and we carried it through the rest of OME.UNDFND. Pick Türkçe once and the overlay, the extension and the website all follow, wherever you change it.

• Overlay: every panel, setting, tooltip and message, plus Turkish word sets for the topic wheel, this or that, and draw and guess.
• Extension: the popup and the setup page.
• Website: the home page at /tr, your dashboard, the VIP page, the store, top-ups and the supporters wall, with the Turkish flag in the language switch.
• Streams: the stream banner and the Chat decides overlay can talk to your viewers in Turkish.

Spot a word that reads wrong? Send your fixes the same way, from Settings, Appearance, Language.

The holiday giveaway now leads the Rewards tab as its own voucher: what it gives, a live countdown to the end, the three steps, and one button that opens the sponsor page. If something stops it, the reason shows right under that button.

• While a giveaway is on, the site greets you with it once when you arrive, and once more on its last day. Signed out, it shows how to sign in and claim it.
• Members on a timed VIP plan can take it too: the hours are added on top of the time you already have. Lifetime VIP never runs out, so it is left out.
• The occasion's name, the countdown and every message around it are in your dashboard language.
• More occasions are on the calendar: St Nicholas Day, the winter break, Fat Thursday, the first day of spring, April Fools, the May long weekend and Independence Day. Rewards lists the next ones so you know when to come back.

The Reactions panel has a new Illusions tab with three tricks played with your own camera. Nothing is drawn on your picture: it is your own camera, held still or played back.

• Freeze stops your picture on one frame, like a bad connection, until you press it again.
• Loop me plays three seconds of you over and over, so you can move away while the stranger still sees you sitting there. Press Record a loop first: it counts down from three, then records. The loop is kept in that tab only, until you reload or forget it.
• Twin, with VIP, keeps your loop in the picture and adds you live on top of it. Move to one side and there are two of you.

A small mark on your own video says which one is on and how long it has left, with a button to stop it. Each one ends by itself after a while, and a new stranger always gets your live camera from the start. Illusions only work on your own camera or a paired phone. You can put each on a key in Settings, Shortcuts.

Wallet, Codes is now Your purchases. Everything you own shows as the card the store hands you when you buy: your VIP code, your Supporter tier and any code you bought but have not used yet.

• A code you bought and never redeemed sits on top with a Redeem button, so it is not forgotten.
• Your Supporter tier shows in its own colours, also when the team gave it to you.
• VIP shows here even when it did not come from a code.
• Codes whose time is over fold into a short list at the end.

On a free account, every VIP feature in the overlay now wears a small gold padlock: Fake skip, Face Swap, Spectator, the media deck, Twin, the rating buttons in the info panel and the VIP rows in Settings. Press one and a card opens beside it with what the feature does, the VIP price and a button to get VIP. Before, a press showed an error or did nothing at all.

Settings also has a new Free and VIP section for free accounts: everything VIP adds, next to what you already have.

The Community goal in Rewards is no longer one fixed number. Each Monday it is set from the sponsor pages members actually got through in the last few weeks: a week that fell short makes the next goal easier, a week that cleared it makes the next one a bit harder. It stays the same for the whole week, and reaching it still doubles the daily lookups reward until the week ends.

Every case can now drop every rarity, and each rarity is a range of VIP days: Common 1 to 7, Uncommon 7 to 14, Rare 15 to 24, Epic 25 to 60, Legendary 61 to 180 and Mythic 181 to 365. The cases keep their names, and the pricier the case, the better its odds at every rarity. The bonus case and the empty case are still in the pool, and Mythic is the new jackpot.

• The loot pool on each case shows the odds of every rarity before you open it.
• The exact number of days comes from the same seed as the rarity, so the verifier checks both.

The menu under your avatar has a Redeem code row. It opens the code box right where you are, so you no longer go through the dashboard's Wallet first.

Every row in that menu now has its own icon, and the rows are grouped into your account, the store and codes, and the community.

In Community, some edits marked Song included said "failed" when you pressed Add to deck, mostly calm takes on quieter songs. They now download their song and go into your deck on the right drop.

When building your script took longer than usual, the Script tab could show "Request failed with status 504" even though the build was still running and finished fine. The page now keeps following the build and shows your script the moment it is ready.

• Edits can play on the stranger's video. A new "Show on" choice in the Edits deck picks where the moves land: your camera (as before), their video, or both. On their video only you see the moves, timed to the beat you hear, and the song still plays to both of you. You can switch it while an edit is playing, and an edit on their video stops when that stranger leaves.
• Face Swap can capture a face from the stranger on screen. "Capture stranger" and "Auto stranger" sit under the camera buttons and work while you are connected. If you press Next during a capture, it ends there and nobody else is mixed in. Faces captured this way are kept in your browser only and are never sent to OME.UNDFND or your account.

The website now dresses up for the Polish holidays too.

• Independence Day, 11 November, and 2 and 3 May (Flag Day and Constitution Day): the pin in the logo turns white and red like the Polish flag, a flag waves on the loading screen, the big headline on the home page becomes a flag, and white and red confetti drifts behind the page.
• Mikołajki, 6 December: the pin wears St Nicholas's hat, in the December snow.
• Fat Thursday: the pin turns into a glazed doughnut.

The confetti has the same switch at the bottom of every page as the snow and the bats, and it never plays if your system is set to reduce motion.

When you are signed in, pointing at a member's name anywhere on the site opens their card: level, rank, title, featured badge, reputation, talk time, when they joined and their bio. Click the card to open their full profile. It works on the leaderboards, the vouch wall, guestbooks, the Supporter wall, the Pixel Canvas, case battles and watch rooms. A card only shows what that member's privacy settings already show on their profile, and a private profile just says so.

The vouch wall also reads properly now. A vouch that mentions someone shows their name, which you can point at like any other, custom Discord emoji show as the emoji, and messages that were only a channel link or an emoji are no longer on the wall.

When you top up for a plan from the store, the top-up page now offers Buy it for me when the money lands. Tick it and the plan switches on for your account by itself as soon as the top-up is credited, at its price then, so there is nothing to come back for.

It is off unless you tick it. It is not offered with a discount code, and when a plan you already run counts toward this one, the store's cheaper upgrade stays the way to buy it. If the plan cannot be bought by itself, the money stays on your balance and the usual buy button is waiting for you.

When you open a Supporter's profile card in the overlay chat, their profile banner now runs across the top, the same picture their profile shows once a staff member has checked it. Your own card shows where your banner would go, with a link to your profile's Supporter tab, where you can try a picture first.

Without VIP, opening the VIP panel used to say "Access restricted". It now shows how many of your lookups are saved, from how many countries and since when, and what VIP opens: the full list with search and sorting, plus ratings, notes and corrections. Your saved history is the same list a VIP sees, kept for 60 days and up to 1,000 lookups, so it is all there the moment VIP starts. It is in your account menu now, under your picture.

"Customise your profile" has a Supporter tab. It holds your profile banner, your own link and the avatar frame, each with the tier it comes with and its price. Without the tier you can still try them: pick a picture and see it in the banner frame (it never leaves your browser), type a link name and see whether it is free, and see your own picture in each frame.

• Your own profile shows where the banner and the link go, and a tap opens the tab. You can hide the banner spot.
• If you already have a tier, moving up shows only the difference.
• After buying, "Open your profile", the notice and the Discord message open the settings tab where your new perks are set.
• The banner and link buttons used to open the store on the wrong tier. They open the right one now.

The Nova, Nebula and Aurora badges are no longer flat circles. Each one is a small glass star in its tier's colours: one star for Nova, two for Nebula, and three with a ring of light for Aurora. They move on the supporters wall and in the store, and hold still on profiles and member cards. If your system asks for reduced motion, they always hold still.

When a new version of the Chrome Web Store extension is ready, its prompt now says it will reload your video chat, in the same general words as the popup and the setup page.

• On a computer, Continue now sits in the summary beside the payment methods, so it stays in view while you choose instead of waiting under the whole list.
• When VIP switches on after you buy it in the store, your plan’s pin lands on the receipt.
• Every receipt in the store now opens with a metal card for what you just bought, in its own colour, with the date and what you paid. It tilts toward your pointer, or your finger on a phone.

Your showcase pins now show the extra slots the next Supporter tier adds, locked, right after your own. When every slot is taken, the card says so instead of quietly greying out the rest. The about line does the same when you reach its limit. Both name the tier and its price, and work in every language the dashboard speaks.

The page that opens after you remove the extension now asks one short follow-up question that fits the reason you tapped, such as what stopped working or where sign-up stopped. It is optional, and one tap still counts. Your note tells us exactly what to fix next.

• Every page in the menu bar, its drop-down menus and the phone menu now has its own icon, so you can find a page at a glance.
• Statistics is now Community. It holds the live statistics, and the people pages: live rooms, members, the season pass, shared automations and the supporters wall, which had no menu link before. The wall is in the footer too.
• Resources is split into getting started, and tools and news, and now links the changelog.

When more lookups land at once than the "Last five, as they land" list on the home page can show, they now line up in a queue above the list instead of being summed up in a line under it. Each one waits as its country code and drops into the list when its turn comes, and lookups that arrived without details pass through the queue as blank marks. Each new address now settles into place digit by digit as it arrives.

Without VIP, the Last connections panel now says that everyone you look up is also kept in your history on the website, with a button to it. The VIP panel shows how many are saved and what VIP opens.

When your VIP has run out, the VIP line on your dashboard now names the plan you bought most and what buying it again gets you, for example "Next Trial: 6 days, not 3" when the repeat bonus applies. Reactivate opens that plan in the store.

Your profile settings in the dashboard now end with the Supporter extras: what the pack adds and where it starts, or, if you have a tier, a button that opens your profile right on its Supporter tab.

The bright white line across the numbers at the top of your dashboard is gone. Each figure now sits under its own thin line, so the numbers read first.

• Lookups and talk time show your last two weeks as small bars, with today in blue.
• Your streak shows the last seven days. Today stays an outline until you are active.
• A figure that opens something lights its line when you point at it or tab to it: Level, your balance and your streak on the dashboard, and your ratings, notes and saved lookups on the VIP panel.

The figures on your profile page and the season pass got the same look.

With VIP, the Dashboard button in the top bar now opens a small menu with both your Dashboard and your VIP Panel, so your account lives in one place and the bar has room to breathe.

The cookie question is now a small panel in the corner instead of a bar across the page, so you can keep reading while you decide. A strip under it shows which kinds of cookies are on, and Reject all and Accept all are the same size on every screen. You can still change your mind any time from Cookie preferences in the footer.

On a computer, the menu on the left of your dashboard and the VIP panel has a new look. The open section's pages hang off a thin branch, and a line traces the way from the section to the page you are on. Sections fold open and shut smoothly as you move between them.

When you pay with a 6-digit BLIK code, each digit now springs into its own box as you type, and the row turns into a check once the code is on its way. Pasting the code or letting your phone fill it in from the keyboard still drops all six digits in at once.

On the supporters wall, a Supporter who has a profile banner now shows it behind their name, so you can see what the tiers look like before you pick one.

Every achievement now has a drawn emblem instead of the same gold square, on your dashboard and on profiles.

• The shape tells you the kind: a dial for talk time, a lens for lookups, a stamp for countries, a crest for loyalty, a diamond for secrets.
• The rim tells you how hard it was. The hardest ones are solid gold.
• Every achievement has its own picture, so two of them no longer look the same.
• Show all in Activity, under Level and trophies, is now one row per kind, with the next one to chase named under it. Tap any emblem for its name, your progress, how hard it is and how many members have it.
• Your recent unlocks show how many members have each one.
• Talk time goals now count in hours, the way they are written, instead of in minutes.
• On a profile, achievements are grouped by kind with the hardest first.

Some pictures were refused as your profile banner with "Use a PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF image" even though they looked fine. They upload now:

• Large pictures, such as a big PNG export or wallpaper.
• AVIF pictures, including ones your browser saved from a website with a .png name.
• A PNG that your browser shows fine but that has a small fault inside.

When a picture really cannot be used, the message now says why: it is damaged, or it is too large to process, or it is not one of the types the banner takes.

No PayPal account? A PayPal top-up now has a Pay by card button. It opens PayPal with your exact amount filled in, and you pay with a debit or credit card. Paste the same note as for a normal PayPal payment, and it is matched to your top-up the same way. If it does not credit by itself, your money is not lost: an admin checks it by hand.

PayPal and Revolut top-ups also stay open for 15 minutes now instead of 10, so there is more time to send the payment.

Teams on the canvas can now share what they are building. Load a picture or draw one in the new editor, press Share, and everyone in your team can open the same picture over the same spot and watch its progress bar move together.

• Draw a plan in the Template tab: pencil, eraser, fill and colour picker, using only colours the canvas can paint
• Team plans show up in your team's card, with one button to start painting them
• Discover shows pictures now, and a plan with more than 100 tiles lands in the new Finished pieces shelf by itself once every tile is painted

The canvas has a new Play tab for the time your next pixel is not ready, and most of it works without painting at all.

• Daily hunt: three squares cut out of the canvas, each smaller than the last. Find where they are, get told hot or cold, keep a streak and copy your result
• Watch live: the camera follows whoever is painting right now
• Find me something to paint: one press goes to the next tile a plan needs and picks the colour
• Open a plan to everyone and it shows in Discover, where anyone can help paint it
• Love a piece, copy a picture of it, or watch it get painted from first pixel to last, right from Discover
• When a piece is finished, everybody on the canvas sees it, and everyone who helped gets a notification
• Your tab shows the time until your next pixel, and a pixel that lands where your picture wanted it now moves the picture's percentage right on the canvas
• Press Q to point at a tile so everyone watching sees it, and turn on a browser notification for when your pixel is ready in the Interface menu

When a top-up closes before the payment arrives, its page now has a Start again button. It opens the top-up page with the same amount, the same way to pay and the plan it was for already filled in, and you can still switch to another way to pay.

While a plan is running and counts toward a longer one, the VIP line on your dashboard shows the longer plan and what is left to pay, with an Upgrade button that opens it in the store.

The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy now name the person behind the site. The Terms also spell out your right to withdraw from a purchase within 14 days, how to send a complaint, and that you get an answer within 14 days.

There is also a full Polish version of the Terms at Regulamin.

The popup and the setup page of the Chrome Web Store extension now speak about your video chat in general words. The popup no longer has a button that jumps to your chat tab: open your video chat as usual and the overlay loads by itself.

The "Last five, as they land" list on the home page used to go blank when lots of lookups arrived at once. Now each one slides in on its own, a small bar strip beside the title shows lookups per second over the last half minute, and when more land than the list can show, a line under it counts them and names the countries among them.

In a viewer room, the stranger's camera reached your viewers a few seconds after every new call, and longer for the first call of the evening. The safety check that runs before viewers see a stranger now starts the moment the call connects and gets ready as soon as someone joins your room, so viewers see the stranger much sooner.

The global lookup map, the map on your dashboard and the map under an IP lookup showed only a city count on many ordinary laptops in place of the globe. They now draw the real map on any browser that supports WebGL, and fall back to the count only when it does not or when Data Saver is on.

Case battles are not available at the moment. If you had a seat waiting in a lobby, it was refunded to your balance and you got a notification. Cases themselves work as before.

While you paint on the Community Canvas, a short check now comes up once an hour. Press Start the check, solve it, and keep painting.

• It shows up as soon as it is due, even while you wait for your next pixel, so it never costs you a turn.
• Your countdown keeps running while you solve it.

In a viewer room, people watching through your link could see the stranger while your own picture stayed black. That happened whenever no camera effect was on and no friend was seated in your Party. Viewers now get your camera exactly as the stranger sees it.

• Viewer room, after a pause. The stranger's picture is checked before your viewers see it. Resuming a paused room, or showing the stranger again after hiding them, now checks the picture again first instead of trusting a look from before the pause.
• Viewer room, when the check cannot run. If the check stops answering, a stranger it had cleared is hidden from viewers again, and their page now says "Hidden: the picture could not be checked" instead of staying on "Checking the picture first".
• Party, a friend who has not sent their camera. A friend whose phone reconnected and who pressed Send afterwards stayed listed as "Not sent yet" over a live picture. The row now says "On camera".
• Opening a viewer room. Ending the party while a room was still opening no longer leaves a "server did not answer" message behind.
• Your phone as the camera, after a reconnect. When the call to your phone was rebuilt after a drop, the phone stopped matching its picture to the connection and could send more than a weak link carries. The rebuilt call now gets the same treatment as the first one.

• Send my messages in their language, sent twice. On the first messages of a visit the translation takes a moment to load. Pressing Enter a second time while waiting sent the same message to the stranger twice. One Enter is now one message.
• Send my messages in their language, text lost. If you kept typing after pressing Enter, the translation of the older text replaced what you had typed since. Your text now stays, and the next Enter sends it.
• The wrong language for a new stranger. A stranger skipped just after writing could leave their language behind for the next one, so your messages went out in it and Live captions listened for it. Each stranger now starts from their own.
• Changing the overlay's language quickly. Going through the Language list with the arrow keys could leave the overlay in a different language than the list showed. It now always ends on the one you stopped at.

Adding a shared screen or a video to a scene takes a moment: the browser asks which screen, or the video has to load. If you opened another scene or closed the editor in that moment, the new box went nowhere, or landed in the scene you had switched to. It now only ever goes into the scene you added it to.

• Warn about links and text bots. A link a stranger sent could still be opened with the middle mouse button without being asked, a known IP logger included. The middle button now gets the same treatment as a click: an IP logger is blocked, and any other link asks first.
• Check before I see them. After the first check, the overlay keeps looking at the stranger's camera during the call. A single frame it could not read could stop that for the rest of the call. It now simply looks again.

• Live captions, the language button. While the stranger was talking, a press on the language button or on a language in the list was often lost, and the list jumped back to its top. Both now stay put while the words arrive.
• Live captions, words left on screen. Half a sentence could stay under the stranger's picture for the whole call. It now becomes a normal line and fades like the others.
• Live captions, language downloads. If the stranger left while a language was downloading, a "Downloading" box could stay over the empty picture. It no longer does.
• Chat decides on Kick. In rare cases the overlay joined your Kick chat twice and showed every message two times in the chat preview. It now joins once.

There is a new VIP plan in the store: Day, one day of VIP and the cheapest way to try it. It is the same VIP as every other plan, with every feature, and it adds a day to any VIP time you already have.

Day never renews on its own, and it cannot be picked for auto-renew. Buying it again counts toward the loyalty bonus like any other plan.

If you bought a plan and redeemed it yourself, it now counts toward a longer one. In the store, every longer plan shows what is left to pay, and the order card has Count my Trial (or whichever plan you are on) ticked for you. You pay the difference, the days your plan already gave are taken off, and the longer plan switches on at once, as if you had bought it on the day your plan started.

It works while your plan runs and for a day after it ends, and each plan counts toward one upgrade. The reminders we send before VIP runs out now say what the upgrade would cost you.

The store has a new tab, Supporter: a pack in three tiers, Nova, Nebula and Aurora, paid once from your balance. Each tier has a look of its own, it never renews and never runs out, each tier has everything the one below it has, and moving up later costs only the difference. Point at any perk on the store, or tap it, to see it on your own name and picture before you buy.

• A supporter medal beside your name on your profile, on member cards, in the overlay chat and in viewer rooms, and a Discord role in your tier's colours
• The name studio, in the new Name tab of your profile settings: your own colours, gradients and glow from Nova, then outlines, 3D shadows, letter spacing and moving effects from Nebula, and rainbow, neon, glitch, sparkle and eight extra faces at Aurora. Your styled name shows on your profile, member cards, the guestbook and the supporters wall. You can try any look there before you buy
• More showcase slots on your profile, and from Nebula a longer about line and a frame around your avatar in your tier's colours, which moves at Aurora
• From Nebula, a banner across the top of your profile, and a moving one at Aurora. Others see it once a staff member has checked it
• From Nebula, a link of your own, ome.undfnd.eu/u/your-name, set in the Flair tab of your profile settings. Your usual link keeps working
• At Aurora, your viewer room is pinned at the top of Live rooms while it is open
• Your name on the new supporters wall, seen by signed-in members. You can step off it, or back on, from the wall itself, and a private or unlisted profile stays off it

Buying VIP for someone no longer means passing a code around. In the store, pick A friend under Who it is for, find them by their Discord name or the link to their profile, and add a short note if you like. The plan goes straight onto their account, and we message them on Discord with your name and your note.

You can still take a code to hand over instead. A plan sent this way counts toward your loyalty bonus like any other.

The Customise button on your profile now opens a live preview of the top of your page, and every change shows there before you save.

• Background colour. Use your accent, borrow any other accent you have unlocked, or pick any colour you like from level 15.
• Strength, speed and density sliders for every animated background, from faint and calm to bold and lively.
• Glow, a new background: soft drifting colour that works even on devices that skip the animated ones.
• Name font. Eight styles for your name, from the poster capitals you know to rounded, pixel, handwritten, serif and wide. Most unlock as you level up.
• Name colour. White, your accent, or from level 20 a gradient from your accent into your background colour.

Settings are now in the order you use them: Appearance, then Flair, then Privacy. Switching tabs keeps what you changed, and closing with unsaved changes asks first.

• Languages you speak. Pick up to four in the Flair tab of your profile settings. They show under your name, each written in its own language, so someone who speaks it spots it straight away.
• Flair tag style. Your flair tag can now be filled in your accent colour instead of outlined.
• The flair tab shows the top of your profile as you type, the badge picker shows each badge in its rarity colour, and your showcase pins appear in their four slots in the order they show on your page.
• Downloading your data now includes your profile settings: your about line, flair tag, languages, look and section choices.

Party guests now have Push to talk right on their controls. Turn it on and nobody hears you until you hold the big Hold to talk button, or Space on a keyboard. Viewers who are allowed to talk can turn it on under Sound, and then hold Talk.

Hosts find two switches in the party panel's Sound tab. Push to talk silences your own microphone until you hold your key from the Shortcuts tab. Guests use push to talk puts every guest and talking viewer on it at once, and they cannot switch it off.

Every timed VIP plan now has a loyalty bonus. The second time you buy the same plan it lasts 1.5× as long, and every time after that 2× as long, so a 3-day Trial becomes 5 days and then 6. Each plan counts on its own, auto-renew included, and the extra days come on the code, so a gift gets them too.

The store shows the days your next purchase of each plan really gives you, where you are on the ladder, and what buying it once more would add. If you keep buying the same short plan, it also shows what that has cost you so far next to a year of Yearly, and a repeat Yearly shows what Lifetime would cost on top.

With VIP, the overlay can write what the stranger says under their picture as they speak, and translate each sentence into your language. Speech is recognised on your own computer and nothing is recorded or sent anywhere, so captions need Google Chrome 139 or newer. Edge and other browsers only offer online speech recognition, so captions stay off there.

Turn them on in Settings, Panels, Live captions. The language follows each stranger's chat and country, and the small language button on the captions changes it for one stranger. A language you use for the first time is a one-time download in Chrome.

To practise their language, turn on Learning their language in the captions settings: their own words show large and the translation small under them.

The store has a new tab, Extra lookups: lookups for a free account, paid from your balance. Pick a pack of 3,000, 10,000 or 50,000, or slide to an amount of your own: the more you buy at once, the more lookups you get for each euro. They never expire, and they are only used once your free lookups for the day are gone, so the daily free ones always go first. If you have VIP, bought lookups wait until it ends.

When you run out in the overlay, the limit card now points to the packs, and once you buy one the wall comes down on its own within a minute. The counter's tooltip shows how many of your lookups are today's and how many are bought.

The store's currency switch now sits beside the tabs, so VIP plans, lookups and Supporter tiers can all be read in euro, dollars or złoty.

Pick Monthly in the store and you can now choose Me and a friend: two Monthly plans for less than the price of two. Yours comes as a code to redeem when you like. Your friend's goes straight onto their account, or comes as a second code for you to give them.

Duo is its own offer, so it does not count toward the Monthly loyalty bonus.

The site now keeps daily totals of visits that start from another site or an app, and of first cookie choices, without any cookie or ID. Each visit adds one to the page it opened, the kind of site that sent it and the kind of device. Nothing is stored on your device and the totals contain nothing about any one person. If you turn analytics down, your later visits are not counted. The privacy policy describes it.

Settings > Shortcuts has a search field at the top. Type part of a name, like "mini map", or a key, like "alt m", and only the shortcuts that match stay on the list. Press Enter to jump to the first one, then Enter again to give it a new key.

Typing "not set" lists the actions that have no key yet, which helps when you are looking for one to bind.

• The Privacy tab of your profile settings now comes last, after the look and the flair, and holds everything about who sees your page: whether it is visible at all, a preview as another member, and every section.
• Sections are grouped (about you, your numbers, collection, activity, community), and each group has one switch to show or hide all of it.
• Quick presets: show everything, hide my activity, or only the basics. They fill in the switches, and nothing changes until you save.
• New: List me in Members and search. Turn it off and your page still opens from its link, but you no longer appear in the member list or when someone searches for a name.

The first time you open the home page or the VIP page, a film of under four seconds now plays by itself instead of the "press space" key. The camera falls from deep space onto the night Earth, the sun slips behind it, and our pin lands on Europe with the same rings a live lookup draws. The page then fades in over the last frames, right where the film ends.

It plays once per browser and any click, tap, key or scroll skips it. It never plays if your system asks for reduced motion, if data saver is on, or on a slow connection, and if the film is not ready in time the page simply opens.

Painting on the Pixel Canvas used to need a week on the site. It now needs 15 minutes since your first sign-in. The other requirements stay the same: a year-old Discord account, 500 successful lookups and an account in good standing. The checklist on the canvas and the canvas plate in the overlay both count the new wait in minutes.

Painting on the Community Canvas now goes over the same live connection that shows you the world, so the countdown to your next pixel is the same in every tab you have open.

• Paint without a mouse: steer with W A S D or the arrow keys, press Space to pick the tile in the middle of the screen, and Enter to place it.
• Right-click any tile (or Alt+click) to copy its colour into your brush.
• On a computer, a small Place button now sits right next to the tile you picked.
• The place button shows how long until your next pixel, and says plainly when the canvas is frozen, when it is reconnecting, or when your painting is paused.
• If you cannot paint yet, the canvas now lists the requirements you have left and how far along each one is.
• Every so often a quick check appears before your next pixel. It takes a second and keeps scripts off the canvas.
• On a phone, the canvas screens open from one button, so more of the world fits on screen.
• The tutorial now shows the key for each step.

If you left our Discord server and joined again, VIP came back but ACCESS did not, so the server stayed locked until you verified a second time. Now you get back every role your account already earned, ACCESS included, as soon as you rejoin and accept the server rules. There is no need to verify again.

• The Liquid background on your profile drew nothing at all. It now flows in your accent colour, and moving your mouse over it stirs it.
• Waves, Particles and Ripple were so faint they were easy to miss, and Particles came out grey. All three now show clearly across the whole top of your profile, in your colour.
• Galaxy stars now take your exact accent colour, including Platinum.
• On devices that skip animated backgrounds, the soft glow behind your name now uses your accent colour instead of always being blue.
• The Crimson accent looked exactly like Rose. It is now its own deeper red.
• The share card used cyan for the Crimson, Azure, Magenta and Platinum accents. It now uses the colour you picked.

Your sign-in key is renewed regularly, and the Chrome Web Store extension could keep the old one for hours afterwards. ome.tv then said INVALID_TOKEN on every reload, even after you followed the steps. Now the extension fetches the new key by itself and reloads ome.tv for you, with or without VIP. There is no need to press Generate script or Sync now for it.

If the message shows up while you are already in a chat, reloading ome.tv is enough.

Our Discord has a new channel, staff-vouches, right under open-ticket. If a moderator or admin helped you, press Vouch for staff, pick who it was and rate their help from 1 to 5 stars. You can add a line about what they helped with if you like. Your vouch is posted in the channel and counts toward that staff member's record and rating, which the channel shows at the bottom.

When a ticket of yours is closed, the message with your transcript now has a button that takes you straight there.

If staff take you out of the chat or stop you posting IP Notes, you now get a notification that says why, until when, and how to appeal on our Discord. When you open the chat, it tells you when you can come back.

Short restrictions end on their own, and staff can lift one early when an appeal checks out.

A short outage no longer leaves things broken until you reload.

• If our server is restarting while ome.tv loads, the overlay now opens by itself as soon as the server answers. It used to ask for a token you did not need.
• A lookup that failed because of the connection runs again for the person still on your screen.
• A setting you changed while the connection was down is saved when it comes back. Before, it could be gone on your next visit.
• A computer clock set to the wrong time no longer stops the overlay from signing in.
• Pressing Check after a failed lookup works again. It used to leave the button spinning until the next stranger.

Sign-up now takes a Discord account that is at least 30 days old instead of 90. The age check stays because it is a security check that keeps bots and throwaway accounts out. If your account is still too new, the sign-in page tells you the day it gets there.

Every settled top-up now tells you why, in plain words, on its order page.

• A BLIK code top-up that went through says the code was accepted and the payment confirmed, instead of "ID: unknown".
• When all your BLIK codes fail, the reason says whether the bank declined the last one or it was not confirmed in the app in time, instead of a technical message.
• A transfer our service confirmed automatically says what arrived and how it was matched to your order.

Muting the sound in a replay now mutes it everywhere. The button on the cases page used to keep showing sound on after you closed the replay, so your next press did nothing. It now always shows what is really happening, on the cases page, in battles and in replays.

Your language used to come from your Discord app, and every sign-in reset it. Now you choose: on the website, in overlay Settings, in the first setup steps, or in the extension. The last place you change it wins everywhere, and sign-in no longer changes it back.

Your own friend link is now on the Invite friends page. When a friend makes a new account with it, verifies on our Discord and does their first lookup, you both get 1,000 free lookups. Up to 5 friends pay out per member.

To invite, your Discord account needs to be at least 180 days old. A friend counts if their Discord account is at least 90 days old and new to OME and to our Discord server. The lookups are used before your daily free ones, and the Rewards page and the free limit card in the overlay link to your friend link too.

The language list in Settings now shows a flag beside each language. Changing it updates the whole overlay straight away, with no reload, so a call in progress keeps going. The extension's popup follows too.

Is your language missing? Under the list you can download the English file, translate it and upload it to use it right away. The file stays in your browser until you press Send it to us, and then we can add it for everyone.

Timed VIP now sends you a Discord message and a notification an hour before it runs out, so you can renew before anything switches off. The three-day reminder no longer arrives on the first day of a short plan like Trial. With auto-renew on and enough balance, the last-hour message is skipped, since there is nothing to do.

Free, mission, streak and stream-drop cases now give 14-day and 30-day VIP half as often. Paid cases and bonus cases keep their odds. The loot pool always shows the odds of the case you are about to open, and every opening still checks out on the provably fair page.

The location and network answer for a stranger's address now stays in server memory for up to 12 hours and is then deleted. The 30-day cache is gone, and everything it held has been removed. Your own search history works as before.

The store page needs you signed in to a Google account, and otherwise it can look as if the extension does not exist. The site now says so next to every Add to Chrome button, and the setup page and our Discord bot do too.

The Spectator panel now says what the second browser needs: the extension, your OME account, and a different ome.tv account. Our Discord bot answers Spectator questions too, in English and Polish.

The Spectator panel now shows what you need before you start, ticks off your second browser when it finds it, and links to the full guide.

From Winter 2026 the premium track of the season pass needs VIP and €2 deposited during that season. Top-ups count and several small ones add up. Rewards, bonuses and gifted VIP do not. Autumn 2026 stays exactly as it is, so you can still claim everything you have reached. See the season page.

Search history now keeps up to your latest 1,000 lookups from the last 60 days. The overlay now remembers people you met for those same 60 days.

Your level, XP, passport, countries and lifetime lookup count have not changed, and people you blocked stay blocked.

• Removing the extension now opens a short page where one tap tells us why. It also says what might still help, and your account and settings are kept if you add it back.
• When a party ends or a guest leaves, the guest page now links to how you can host your own party on ome.tv.

Canceling a top-up now offers a few one-tap reasons, like a payment that did not go through or wanting to pay another way. Picking one is optional, and it tells us what to fix on the payment pages.

When you approved a BLIK: 6-digit code top-up in your bank app but the confirmation was slow to come back, the top-up could stay on "pending" for a couple of extra minutes after the money had already arrived. It is now picked up as soon as the payment lands, so your balance updates sooner.

With no webcam, or a webcam the browser refuses, Start did nothing and the microphone could not be picked. Now ome.tv gets a black picture instead, so Start works and your microphone can be picked and used. A short note tells you strangers see black.

Plug a camera in or allow it from the lock icon next to the address, and it takes over by itself. Pair your phone in Link if you want a real picture without a webcam.

Pressing Generate script could leave the extension holding your old key, so ome.tv kept saying INVALID_TOKEN however many times you followed the steps. The extension in the same browser now syncs by itself when the script is ready. The dashboard tells you when it has, and all you do is open or reload ome.tv, with nothing to paste and no need to find Sync now in the popup.

Every call used to start as a small, blurry picture and take about ten seconds to sharpen, which is longer than a lot of calls last. Settings > Camera has a new group, Sharp from the first second, with two switches:

• Send my camera sharp: strangers get your camera at its full size from the first frame.
• Ask strangers for a sharp picture: a stranger on Chrome, Edge or another browser built on Chrome starts theirs at full size too.

Picture quality has a new switch as well. With Sharpen the stranger's video on, Show their whole picture stops cropping a phone held upright to fill the box: you see all of it, sharper, over a soft fill. All three stay off until you turn them on, and a line under the switches shows the size of both pictures during a call.

Every page on the site now loads less before it starts, which you will feel most on a phone or a slow connection. The dashboard loads about 40% less up front: it opens on your script, and each other tab loads the first time you open it.

Page titles also used to start their rise, snap back and play it again on the first page you opened. They play once now.

The fingerprint shield in the extension's Privacy tab now starts on New each session for anyone who has never changed it, so ome.tv sees a fresh decoy instead of your real browser without you having to find the setting. It starts working the next time you open or reload ome.tv.

If you already picked Off or Stable decoy, your choice stays as it is. You can switch it off at any time in the same tab. It is privacy only and does not change your IP or network address.

When Spectator, Party or your phone link could not connect in Opera, the panel only said that a VPN or a privacy setting was blocking direct connections, which sent people searching through settings. Opera's own settings are usually the cause, so the panel now says so and tells you to switch to Chrome or Edge to keep going. When your other browser or your phone is the one running Opera, it says that instead.

When Ome.tv closes your chat with "You have opened the application in another window or in another browser", a note under that message now explains it, in the language Ome.tv is showing you. The message comes from Ome.tv, not from OME.UNDFND: Ome.tv allows one open chat per Ome.tv account. Close the other tab or window and press Restart.

Running Spectator? Sign in to Ome.tv with a different account in each browser. Your OME.UNDFND account can be the same in both. We also recommend choosing New each session in the extension's Privacy tab, in both browsers.

A VIP invitation from a friend now works even if you already have an OME account. What counts is your Discord account: it needs to be at least a year old. Each account can still use one invitation.

On a phone, the home page and the VIP page were a little wider than the screen, so they slid sideways under your thumb. Both fit now. On the VIP page with reduced motion turned on, the feature rail counts its pages instead of showing a row of dots too long for the screen.

With ome.tv's camera access blocked, or no webcam at all, choosing your phone, a video file or Spectator as your camera left ome.tv saying you had denied access, and Start did nothing. ome.tv changed how its page asks for a camera, and the overlay was still asking the old way. It now gets ome.tv a camera again, so Start works and the stranger sees what you picked.

• Closing ome.tv's camera prompt with its X no longer brings the "denied access" message back every few seconds while your phone is the camera.
• Going back from your phone to your own camera gives ome.tv your webcam again instead of a black picture.
• The camera and microphone pills on your video can switch devices again when ome.tv shows no list of its own.

• Deleting your own note while you were editing it left it on the Notes panel, and the panel stayed on that address for every stranger after it. The note now goes, and the panel follows whoever you are talking to.
• With Send my messages in their language on, turning off Translate the stranger's messages made your messages go out in the main language of the stranger's country instead of the language they actually write in. Both switches now work on their own.
• Reset all now also applies to a Spectator bridge that is already running, and stops a soundboard sound that is still playing.
• The Scenes dock no longer stays out of date after you close its Switch picker with the keyboard without choosing anything.
• An automation that turns Warn about links and text bots on or off now takes effect straight away, instead of after a reload.

With Rainbow, Chroma or Gradient flow turned on, ome.tv's Start and Next button and the overlay's filled buttons used to jump from colour to colour a few times a second. They now move at 30 frames a second.

Pressing Generate script on the dashboard replaces the key the Chrome Web Store extension saved, and ome.tv then said INVALID_TOKEN until you found Sync now in the popup. With VIP the extension now does that sync by itself and reloads ome.tv with the new key. If the sync brings no new key, it sets this browser up again. Without VIP, Sync now in the popup is still the fix.

A BLIK: 6-digit code top-up that is left without a code used to stay open for hours. It now closes by itself much sooner once no code has been entered for a while, and you get a notification saying so. A code that is still being charged always keeps the top-up open, and you can start a new top-up any time.

When your pasted script could not reach our server to sign you in, ome.tv showed an "Access token required" box that said only "Failed to fetch", sometimes with untranslated labels. It now explains what happened and lists what to try: get a fresh script from the dashboard, turn off a VPN or proxy, or send us the technical details on Discord. The Go to Dashboard button opens the matching walkthrough.

An ETH top-up asks for the Base network, but some wallets sent it on Ethereum or Optimism instead. The money arrived, yet the top-up kept waiting until someone checked it by hand. Now a payment for your open ETH top-up on either of those networks is found and credited on its own, usually within about ten minutes.

• The QR code on an ETH top-up now carries the Base network and the exact amount, so a wallet that scans it switches to Base and fills the amount in for you.

The help desk's automatic answer for INVALID_TOKEN no longer tells extension users to generate a new script. That was the cause of the loop: every new script retires the key the extension saved. It now says to press Sync now in the extension popup, reload ome.tv and paste nothing.

If you once pressed Block when ome.tv asked for your camera or microphone, the pickers on your own video stayed greyed out and you could not choose anything. Every device in the list can be clicked now.

Allow access from the lock icon next to the address, then pick the device again. It switches straight away, with no page reload. If the browser still blocks it, the note tells you where to allow it.

Picking a microphone while your camera is still blocked now works when your phone or a video file is your camera. Otherwise the note explains that ome.tv needs the camera first.

Behind the planet on the home page and the VIP page there is now the Milky Way from NASA's star maps, twinkling stars in their real colours, and a sky that moves. The sun rises over the planet's edge as the page opens, bright enough to throw rays and lens glints. The moon circles the planet, its crescent changing as it goes, and now and then a shooting star crosses the sky. When a lookup lands on the planet, it sends out a glowing ring.

The first time you open the home page or the VIP page, it waits behind one big key. Press space (or tap it on a phone) and the key lights up, a line cuts across the screen through it, and the page splits open along that line onto the planet. It shows once per browser, opens by itself after a few seconds, and any scroll, click or key opens it too. It never appears if your system asks for reduced motion.

Further down both pages, each section now rises into place as you scroll to it and sinks back as you scroll past, so moving through the page reads as one continuous move instead of a stack of separate blocks.

The globe on the home page and the VIP page used to be a sphere of dots. Now it is NASA's photo of the Earth at night, sharp enough to fly into, with a soft glow around the cities. It floats with a slow sway, and on the VIP page the whole planet is lit in gold.

On the home page, every lookup in the live list now lands on the planet as it happens: a small location pin drops onto the country, a ring runs out from it, and the newest one shows its masked address and the coordinates of the spot it is drawn at. The pins stay while you scroll down.

When the pin drops into the OME UNDFND logo, on page load, while the site loads and when you point at the logo, the two words now lean in toward it for a moment and spring back.

Both pages now close on a rendered shot of the location pin standing on the night side of the Earth at sunrise, under the last button.

Ask about an ome.tv ban in Polish on our Discord and the automatic answer now comes back in Polish. A ban "za spam" written in Polish also gets the answer meant for it, instead of the general one.

The answer now says plainly what a ban sits on: your browser fingerprint first, then the ome.tv account you sign in with, and only last the IP of your network. Your computer has no IP of its own, so there is no such thing as a ban on your computer's IP. Changing the IP alone, with a VPN for example, is not an unban. The steps follow the unban guide.

Every time we updated the server, anything running over our relay cut out. A Party tile went black and the guest had to be let in again, a paired phone dropped off the stranger's screen, and a Spectator bridge stopped mid conversation. The call itself never needed our server, so none of that was necessary.

Now it does not happen. When the server comes back, each side is recognised as the one it was a moment ago and the call carries on untouched:

• A Party guest keeps their tile, their seat, their volume and their sound switches, with no second Let in
• A phone used as your camera keeps sending, so the stranger sees no interruption
• A Spectator bridge keeps the picture, in both browsers
• An open viewer room keeps streaming to the people watching it

The same thing covers a phone that locks its screen or loses signal for a moment: coming back on a new connection no longer costs the picture.

ETH top-ups are read on the Base network. If your wallet sent the ETH on Ethereum, Arbitrum or Optimism instead, it still reached your deposit address, but nothing noticed it: your order kept saying "Waiting for payment" and then closed as if you had never paid.

Now we see it within minutes. You get a notification that it arrived on another network, your order stays open instead of timing out, and our team is told so it can be settled by hand. Do not send it a second time. Next time, pick Base in your wallet before you send.

If you paid with a BLIK code just as the site was restarting for an update, the payment could go through at your bank while your balance stayed the same. The confirmation now waits and is delivered as soon as the site is back, so the top-up lands on its own.

When a confirmation is late, the top-up page now says the payment is being checked instead of telling you nothing was charged, so you are never asked to pay a second time.

The VIP page now comes in Polish, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Romanian, Czech and Latvian, each at its own address like /pl/vip. It opens in your language on its own, the same way the dashboard and the store do, and the VIP link in the top bar takes you straight there.

Everything on it is translated: what VIP adds, the plan picker and its conditions, the Free and VIP comparison, the invitations for friends, how buying works and every answer in the questions. Prices are written the way your language writes money. The language switch with flags sits at the top right, and a language picked there is remembered on the dashboard and the store too.

When an automatic top-up by BLIK transfer, Revolut or PayPal runs out of time and your money has not shown up yet, the page now asks whether you already sent it. You can also ask yourself with Already sent it? under the countdown.

• Say yes and your top-up stays open 10 more minutes while we check for your payment again right away.
• If it is still not there the next time, the page asks you for a screenshot of the payment. A person checks it, and you can close the page: your balance is credited as soon as it is confirmed, and we let you know.

The dashboard now comes in Polish, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Romanian, Czech and Latvian, each at its own address like /pl/dashboard. It opens in your language on its own, the same way the store and top-up pages do, and links from Discord and notifications land there too.

A new language switch with flags sits at the top right of the dashboard, the store and the top-up pages. Pick a language once and every one of those pages remembers it. Every tab is translated: the overview, the setup guide, the Script tab and its troubleshooter, the Wallet and the affiliate program (including the stream overlay settings and the OBS tips), your Account settings, Rewards, Cases, Case battles, the Canvas panel, Live rooms and all of Your activity, plus the short messages that pop up when you generate a script, redeem a code or claim a reward. The balance in the top bar is written the way your language writes money, too. Names that come from the server, like achievements, badges, missions and season titles, still show in English for now.

Shake on the Zooms tab of Reactions now jolts your picture hard enough to see. Before, it moved a few pixels and looked like nothing happened.

The Zooms tab also has its own settings above the buttons:

• Strength sets how far every zoom goes in, from half to double.
• Speed makes every zoom quicker or slower.
• Shake every zoom adds a shake to Dramatic zoom, Snap zoom, Slow push and Pull back.

Your settings are remembered.

An automatic top-up by BLIK transfer, Revolut or PayPal now shows the road your money takes on its page: you send it, our service picks it up, it is matched to your top-up, and it lands on your balance. Keep the page open and you see it run all the way to your balance the moment it is credited.

• When it's quickest now appears for BLIK transfer, Revolut and PayPal too, so you can see how long they usually take at each hour and on each day before you pay.
• Short waits are shown to the second, like 1 min 40 s instead of a rounded 2 min.

Open More data under the city and you now see the top three places members voted for on that address block, each with a bar, a share and how many people chose it. A line underneath says how many more votes the block needs before members set the city.

• You can now confirm the city shown is right, not only correct it. A thumbs up on location accuracy offers the same thing.
• Votes for neighbouring towns count together, so Zabrze and Katowice, 20 km apart, no longer split the vote.
• Where the two lookup sources disagree badly, fewer votes are enough to set the city.
• Free members can vote from level 15, and their vote counts as half. VIP votes count in full.
• Save waits until you tick that you are almost certain. Strangers often lie about their town as a joke, and a wrong vote misleads everyone who meets someone on that network.

The slides under "What changes after you upgrade" on the VIP page were drawn in thin lines. Now each one is a small studio scene: the camera features play on a real monitor with a glass screen, the strangers passing through are glossy beads, ratings are gold stars, notes and the info panel are glass cards, the scanners rise out of a base, and everything stands in a soft pool of light.

What changes after you upgrade on the VIP page now has a demo for every VIP feature in the extension, in every language the page is written in. New ones:

• Face Swap
• Camera Effects: blur or replace your room, or hide your face
• Bigger Party: more friends on camera and no daily clock
• Scenes and Media: a video or picture as your camera, plus screen, picture and video sources in scenes
• Camera Controls: mirror, rotate, zoom, brightness and auto-frame
• No Watermark during calls and on Replay clips

The Free and VIP table gained the same rows, plus skipping VPN users and people you already met. Two old demos said accent colors and panel layout were VIP only. They are free for everyone, so those demos are gone.

The search box in the top bar now reaches far more of the site. Type what you want to do and it takes you straight there.

• Redeem a VIP code opens the code box in your dashboard right away.
• Buying VIP, topping up your balance with BLIK, PayPal, Revolut or crypto, your balance history, your codes and inviting friends each have their own result.
• Every dashboard section is searchable: your script, cases, case battles, free rewards, the season pass, your profile, privacy, deleting your account and signed-in devices.
• Pages that were missing, like the extension safety page, live rooms, the pixel canvas, statistics and every feature page, now show up.
• Whole questions work, so "where do I redeem my code?" finds the right place, and Polish words like "kod", "doładuj" and "saldo" work too.
• An empty search box suggests the most common places to go, and you can move through them with the arrow keys.

The map pin on the VIP page, in the store and on your dashboard has a new finish: a lacquered body that catches the light from above, and a polished ring around the lens. Up close the lens edge is smooth now, where it used to look faceted. The app icon, the logo and the pin on the stream banner are all this same pin now, and the 3D name on your dashboard's Script tab is set in the brand's own typeface.

• An automatic PayPal top-up could ask you for a couple of cents more than the price, like €5.02 for a €5.00 top-up, even when nobody else was paying at the same time. It now asks for exactly the price unless someone else has the same top-up open right now.
• If you send the money in the last seconds of the countdown, or your bank is a minute slow, your top-up is still credited by itself. Before, it closed and waited for us to credit it by hand.
• Two people starting a top-up of the same price at the same moment are always given different amounts, so both are credited by themselves.

Opening the Polish, German or another translated home page in a browser set to that language no longer shows a card offering to translate the page. You are already reading it in your language.

The VIP page and the store used to show złoty as a rounded estimate at the market rate, so a plan could read "8 zł" while the top-up asked for 8,41 zł. Złoty prices are now the exact figure, to the grosz, at the same fixed rate the top-up uses. Send the exact amount the top-up shows in one transfer, and it is credited by itself.

Each automatic order now gets its own amount, a few cents or grosze apart from the others, and all of it lands on your balance. If your order says €1.82, you get €1.82, not €1.80.

• On Revolut and PayPal you now type the currency you will send (EUR or PLN) before the order opens. Your app must show that currency next to the amount, because money in another currency cannot be matched by itself.
• The pay step says which route to use: a BLIK phone transfer to our number, or a Revolut transfer to our username. They are two different methods.
• More people can have an automatic top-up open at the same time, so you fall back to a screenshot less often.

VIP now comes with invitations for friends. With Lifetime, or 14 or more days of VIP left, you get 3 invitation links on the new Invite friends page. Each one gives a friend who is new to OME 14 days of VIP on their own account, and it costs you nothing: your own VIP time is not touched.

• Copy a link, copy a ready message with the link in it, send it to Discord, or use your phone's share button.
• Your friend opens the link, signs in with Discord, and VIP switches on by itself. You get a notification when they join.
• Each link works once and lasts 30 days, and the page shows which ones are ready, used or expired.

The Invite friends page is in your account menu, on your dashboard, and on the VIP page.

Before you create an automatic top-up by BLIK transfer, Revolut or PayPal, the page now shows how it works and the one rule that matters, in large print: send exactly the amount your order shows, not a grosz or a cent more or less. You confirm you have read it by typing a short word in your language, like ROZUMIEM in Polish or I UNDERSTAND in English. Capitals and accents do not matter.

The same rule now leads the order page in large print, right under the amount, and the copy buttons show a tick once the amount, the number or the note is copied. A payment that does not match is still not lost: an admin checks it by hand, which takes longer.

The store and the top-up pages now pick their language from the country you are in when your browser is set to English, so a buyer in Poland reads the payment steps in Polish. A browser set to Polish, German or another language the site speaks still gets that language wherever you are, and a language you pick in the menu at the top of the page stays your choice.

An automatic PayPal top-up now gives you a short note next to the amount, like "Thanks for the Uber" followed by a number. Paste it into the note field when you send the money as Friends & Family, and the number tells us the payment is yours, so your balance is credited the moment it lands.

A payment sent without the note is not lost. An admin checks it by hand and credits it, which takes longer.

When Ome.tv shows its ban screen, the overlay now lays out three numbered steps under it: turn on New each session in the extension's Privacy tab, clear Ome.tv's cookies and cache, then sign in with an Ome.tv account that has never been banned.

Clearing is now a proper Clear and reload button, so it is clear what to press. Step 1 marks itself as done once the Privacy setting is on, and the full guide is still one click away.

Every sign-in used to end at 06:00 for everyone at once, even in the middle of a call. Your sign-in now keeps working through the morning and only ends when its own time is up. When that happens the overlay says so, and setting it up again from the dashboard or the extension gives you a fresh one.

Switching to another camera from the pill on your own video said "That device did not start" every time, even when the new camera was working. The switch now goes through quietly, the pill names the new camera, and your camera effects carry over to it instead of stopping.

When a switch really does fail, the note says why. It tells you when the browser blocked the device, when the device was unplugged, and when another app is holding it.

If the browser asks for permission, you can take your time answering. The note no longer says the device failed while the question is still on screen.

Notes in the corner of the video now wrap onto a second line instead of cutting off halfway, so longer translations stay readable.

Viewer rooms have a chat now. You write to your viewers from a new Viewers tab in the chat column on ome.tv, and they answer from the watch page. You can switch the chat off, and then only you can write.

• Choose who may talk: Nobody, Ask first (viewers raise a hand), or Everyone. You also choose who hears your viewers: you, your party, or the stranger.
• Viewers and guests show their profile pictures in Sharing and in the list of live rooms.
• Opening a viewer room no longer starts a party. Your Party half stays off until you start it, and a room on its own does not use your free Party time.
• Opening your own watch link now says it is your room, instead of letting you in as a viewer.

Your party now has a viewer room. Send its watch link and people see the stranger and you, and hear the call, from their browser. They are never on camera.

• Choose who gets in: you let each viewer in, the right password lets them in, or anyone signed in with the link walks in.
• Show or hide the stranger or yourself, and choose what viewers hear, for the whole room at once. Pause the room whenever you need to.
• Viewers arrive muted. Let one talk when they ask, mute everyone at once, and decide whether the stranger can hear them.
• Remove a viewer, or ban them for the rest of the party.
• Viewers see a stranger only after a quick check finds their picture clean.

Hosts with a public viewer room can now put it in a list of live rooms. Open Live rooms, or Script in your dashboard, to see who is live, how many are watching, and join a room in one press.

• Hosts switch the list on in Party, on the Viewers tab, while the room is public. Taking a room out of the list gives it a new link.
• A room's page has a Report button that goes straight to the OME.UNDFND team.

The media deck, the soundboard, Edits and reactions now share one Tricks button on the control bar, so the bar is shorter and easier to read. Press it and a small menu opens above it with each one by name and its keyboard shortcut.

• The Tricks button shows the green dot while something from it is playing, and the playing row has the dot too
• Your shortcuts still open each one directly, without the menu
• Use the arrow keys to move through the menu, and Escape to close it

The note on the top-up page now gives the real hours when top-ups are checked fastest: weekdays from 11 in the morning to 11 at night, Polish time. It shows them on your own clock, in the 12 or 24 hour style your country uses.

PayPal and Revolut now show how long a top-up usually takes before it lands on your balance, like the other methods already did.

The Party button opens Sharing now, in two halves: Party for friends on your camera, and Viewers for people watching your call. Each half explains what it does before you start anything.

• Viewers lists the public rooms other members are hosting right now, so you can find one to watch without leaving ome.tv.
• Opening a viewer room shows that it is opening, and tells you if our server does not answer.

Your Party invite link, its code and your viewer room link now stay blurred in Sharing until you press the eye beside them, so a stream or a screen share does not show them. The eye shows the link for 10 seconds, and Copy works without showing it. The QR code comes up for 15 seconds, then hides again.

• An open viewer room has three tabs, like Party: People (your link and who is watching), Settings and Live rooms. Pause the room is now a button on People, next to Mute all.
• Live rooms, the room chat and the people in your room show each member's real rank, level and reputation. A name opens that member's profile when it is public.
• The Viewers tab in the chat column now looks and works like the OME.UNDFND chat, with emoji and a line for each person.
• Changing an option in Sharing no longer jumps the panel back to the top.

A report on a viewer room now reaches our moderators, who can act on the room while it is live: take it out of the list of live rooms, close it, or pause an account from listing, opening or watching rooms for a while.

• If that happens to your room, Party says so at once, and a notification tells you why, until when, and how to appeal on our Discord.
• The moderation tools never show the call itself, and nobody on our side can get into a room you did not open to them.

Reactions now open in a panel like the soundboard and the media deck, instead of a small menu that closed as soon as you clicked somewhere else. Drag it by its title to wherever suits you, and it opens there again next time.

• It stays open while you send reactions, draw, or play a game, until you close it or press Escape
• Number keys still fire what the open tab shows while the panel is up

Scenes and the scene editor, Build with AI in Automations, the sound library, and Face Swap's sync and tuning settings were still in English in every other language. They are now translated into Polish, German, Dutch, Spanish, Czech, French, Romanian and Latvian, along with the Halloween scares in the reactions panel.

The home page FAQ, in every language, and the FAQ now say which YouTube channel, TikTok account and Discord server are official.

Some videos on other channels copy our titles and send you to a different Discord server for a "working script". That script is not OME.UNDFND. Add the extension from the Chrome Web Store, and the only script you need is the one your own dashboard makes.

The Member # on your profile and its share card is now your permanent account number. Before, it was worked out from sign-up order and could shift.

When the stranger on screen also uses OME.UNDFND, the info panel shows their card and the UNDFND badge. That check often missed members, for example when their internet runs on IPv6 as well as the usual kind, which many home connections in Poland now do.

Both overlays now recognise the call itself, so you see each other no matter how either of you is connected, and Wave works the same way. It needs both of you on this overlay version.

On the Polish, French, Czech and Latvian home pages the big lookup counter had wide gaps between its digit groups, so it read like three separate numbers. The gaps are now thin, the way those languages write large numbers.

The season pass now has a public page at /season. It shows every tier that pays on both tracks, how season XP is earned, the top ten of the season and when it ends, so you can see what a season is worth before you start.

• On your dashboard the season pass matches the rest of the new look: your tier, rewards to claim, what you have claimed and your pace sit in one row, and the reward road no longer pulses or glows.
• The Rewards page shows your season tier and how many rewards are waiting, instead of a general line.
• The VIP comparison now lists the season pass: free members get the free track, and VIP adds the premium track.

The Automations tab has a new Build with AI button. Say in your own words what the automation should do, press Copy guide, and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or any other assistant. A box opens straight away and waits for the answer, so you paste the reply back without hunting for Import. The guide is built from the blocks your overlay actually has, so it always matches what you can run, and you still see exactly what the program can do before anything is saved.

• In the editor the same button reads Edit with AI. Your automation goes into the guide with the change you ask for, the answer replaces what is on the canvas, and Ctrl + Z puts the old version back. Nothing runs until you press Save.
• Paste the whole reply, explanation and all. The program is pulled out for you, and an answer that does not work comes back with your text still in the box and a note on what went wrong.
• If an assistant invents a block the overlay does not have, the review screen names it before you import.
• A new replace text block drops a name, a country or a count into the middle of a sentence, and the current time block can now read the day of the week. A new Weekend hello starter shows a welcome when you start looking on a Saturday or Sunday.

Each new stranger asks less of your browser now, so ome.tv stays smoother on older PCs when you skip quickly.

• Changes inside the overlay, like a new line in the live log, the panel filling in or the Check button changing state, no longer make your browser restyle the whole ome.tv page. That was half of all the styling work done for each stranger.
• The accuracy bar and the lookup counter no longer make your browser lay out the page again on every frame while they animate.

If you keep the map switched off, the overlay no longer loads the globe at all. It starts with much less work, downloads nothing for the map and opens no 3D graphics context. The globe is built the first time you switch the map on, and it opens straight on the stranger you are talking to.

A PayPal payment where you added a note, like your order number, waited for a manual check before your balance went up. It now credits automatically, the same as a payment without a note.

Several small things in the automation editor that got in the way.

• Undo, redo, the bins and the tidy-up button showed as solid blobs. They are proper icons again, and so is the Edit button on each automation in the list.
• Some blocks had an empty strip along the bottom. They now fit what is in them.
• The palette listed two identical "if" blocks. The second one now reads "if … otherwise …".
• With the keyboard, the editor now takes the focus when it opens, keeps it on the block or button you just used, stops Tab from wandering behind it, and hands the focus back when it closes. Delete buttons show up when you reach them with Tab.
• Screen readers now announce what each button and input in a block is for.

An automatic BLIK transfer, Revolut or PayPal payment could take far longer than usual to be credited, and sometimes the order ran out of time even though the money had arrived. It is now credited usually within a minute of the money landing, at any hour. If one of your orders ran out of time this way, the payment is not lost: it waits for a person to check it.

These five video chats are built on the same chat as ome.tv, so the extension now works on them too:

• chatalternative.com
• ometv.chat
• minichat.com
• chatruletka.com
• videochatru.com

They are all on by default. Your browser asks you once before the extension can run there: press Allow in the popup's new Sites tab, or on the setup page, and it asks for all of them in one go. Switch off any you don't want in the same tab. ome.tv stays on as before, and the overlay works the same everywhere, with its layout adjusted where a site draws its page differently.

The Pre-release overlay from the Script tab on your dashboard works there too: paste it on any of these sites the same way you do on ome.tv.

The website now changes its look for the holidays. The pin in the logo dresses up for each one, the loading screen gets its own small scene, and the big headline on the home page takes the holiday's colours. The snow and the other effects sit in the page's background and scroll with it.

• Halloween, 23 to 31 October: the pin becomes a carved pumpkin, bats cross a moonlit loading screen, and embers drift up the page.
• December: snow on the website all month.
• Christmas, 19 to 28 December: the pin hangs like a Christmas ornament and swings on its thread.
• New Year, 31 December and 1 January: fireworks behind the page.
• Summer holidays, from the end of the school year to the end of August: a tropical island on the loading screen and the sun rising behind the pin.

Valentine’s Day, Easter and Friday the 13th have their own looks too. If the snow, the bats or the fireworks get in your way, turn them off at the bottom of any page. They stay off on that device, and they never play if your system is set to reduce motion.

Revolut: Direct transfer now works like the automatic BLIK transfer and PayPal. When the method shows Automatic, create the order first and it shows your exact amount. Send exactly that to our Revolut username and your balance is credited by itself, usually within a minute. You do not need a screenshot.

The same 10-minute countdown applies. A different amount or another currency is not lost: it waits for a person to check it. The order page also stopped calling a PayPal payment a BLIK transfer, and the BLIK transfer no longer asks you to type a code in the transfer title.

PayPal Friends & Family now works like the automatic BLIK transfer. When the method shows Automatic, create the order first and it shows your exact amount in euro. Send exactly that as Friends & Family to our PayPal address and your balance is credited by itself, usually within a minute. You do not need a screenshot.

The same 10-minute countdown applies. A different amount, another currency or Goods & Services, which takes a fee, is not lost: it waits for a person to check it.

A BLIK transfer to our phone number no longer needs a screenshot or a wait for someone to check it. When the method shows Automatic, create the order first and it shows your exact amount. Send exactly that and your balance is credited by itself, usually within a minute of the money landing. No transfer title is needed.

If the transfer has not shown up, you can still add a screenshot on the order page and a person checks it.

VIP codes now look like OME-G030-7K3F-Q9XA-M2TD-HWPC. The first group tells you where the code came from (G giveaway, B bought, S from staff) and its length (030 is 30 days, LIF is Lifetime). They are much longer and leave out characters that are easy to mix up, like 0 and O or 1 and I.

Type them in the Redeem code box with or without dashes, in any case. If one character is wrong, you are told it is a typo. Codes you already have still work.

The loading screen now shows the logo the way the top bar draws it: OME, the blue pin, UNDFND. The pin drops in and hops while the page loads, and as the screen lifts, the pin in the top bar drops into place.

On the top-up page, Revolut and PayPal now let you choose whether you send euro or złoty. Outside Poland it starts on euro, so you do not need złoty to pay by Revolut: your app converts at its own rate if your balance is in another currency.

Your order shows the exact amount in the currency you picked. Send exactly that, in that currency, and it is credited by itself. Any other amount or currency is not lost, but an admin has to check it by hand, which takes longer. The pay step now says so before you create the order.

In Spectator, the reactions pad now works on the picture you relay. You can draw with the pen, send a reaction or a zoom, start a game or fire a scare, and the stranger in that browser sees it on the other person's picture. Edits already worked there.

Your camera effects and picture settings (blur, mask, background, mirror, zoom) still stay off the relayed picture, because they are set up for your own face. Nothing you draw is shown over the static between two strangers.

An automatic BLIK transfer to our number is recognised by its exact amount, so it works whatever your bank does with the title. Send the amount on the order page to the grosz and it is credited instantly. A different amount is not lost: it waits for a person to check it.

The order page counts down the 10 minutes it waits for your transfer. If you let it run out, the order closes by itself and your next automatic top-up opens a little later: after 1 minute the first time, then 5, then 15, until a top-up goes through. Cancelling it yourself never counts against you. A transfer that arrives late is settled by a person, and an order with a screenshot always waits for a person.

A few automatic top-ups can be open at once. When they are all taken, the page says so and you can send yours with a screenshot or come back in a few minutes.

• The under-age notice from ome.tv shows its text in a readable grey on the dark theme. It was dark grey on black.
• When you add an edit from the community that was made on a song, the "Which of your songs is it?" choices show a ring on the one you reach with the keyboard.
• On chatruletka.com and videochatru.com the overlay's buttons, switches and labels look the way they do on ome.tv. The site's own styles had made some text bigger, moved the switches down a little and left a ring around a switch after a click.

The method list on the top-up page now describes each method the way it works. The automatic BLIK transfer, PayPal and Revolut say that your order gives you the exact amount to send (PayPal and Revolut in euro or złoty), and the BLIK code says you confirm it in your bank app.

The crypto methods no longer quote a wait that disagreed with the timing line under them. The time now appears once per method, and it says what it counts from: creating your order, entering your code, or sending your coins.

A change on ome.tv's side in mid-October had quietly switched off how the overlay styles the screen you see between calls. It works again: ome.tv's app store badges are dimmed instead of being the brightest thing on the page, and the card eases in when a call ends.

Every time we updated the server, every OME Party, OME Link and Spectator Mode call ended in the middle of the conversation, and you had to start it again. Now the call carries on.

• Your Party guests reconnect by themselves and go back into the tile they had.
• A paired phone comes back already accepted, so you do not press Accept again.
• In Spectator Mode, the other browser rejoins the bridge on its own. The stranger sees the held picture for a moment, the same as when a browser reloads.

A new Case battles tab sits next to Cases under Play. Make a lobby, pick your cases, and everyone in it opens the same cases round by round. The side with the best total takes every VIP day anyone dropped.

• Play 1v1, three or four players each for themselves, or 2v2 teams that split the winnings.
• Crazy mode flips it: the lowest total wins.
• Search open lobbies by format and price, and join with one click.
• Nobody joining? Call a house bot into any empty seat, or fill them all at once, and start right away.
• Make a lobby private and share its invite link with friends.
• Leave before the start, or let a lobby run out of time, and your seat is refunded in full.
• Every battle's rolls can be checked from its own page once it has played.

The reminder asking VIP members to leave a vouch now looks like every other dialog in the overlay, with a Not now button next to I'll do it now. The I'll do it now button fills up over three seconds from the moment the reminder opens, so a stray click while you are skipping cannot send you to Discord, and it works from the keyboard as well as the mouse. You no longer have to hover over it to unlock it.

Winning a case no longer plays a loud, high chime with whooshes and booms piled on top. The reveal is now a short, quiet run of soft notes, and a rarer drop just adds a note or two.

While automatic BLIK is running, you can top up a smaller amount with a BLIK code than before. The BLIK option on the payment step always shows the current minimum, so you know before you pick it.

BLIK phone transfers now go to +48 515 978 808. If you saved the old number, use this one from now on.

The pay step also gives you a short transfer title made for your account, like OME AB1234K. Type it in the title of your transfer so we can tell your payment apart from everyone else's.

If you have VIP and had not left a vouch yet, your first press of Start on ome.tv could leave the button dead for the rest of the visit, with no pointer over it. The vouch reminder that press should have opened was showing below the page, out of sight, and Start was waiting for it to close. The reminder shows in the middle of the screen again, and Start no longer waits on it.

When the smaller BLIK code top-ups were unavailable for a while, the payment page kept asking for a new code and every one failed. Now it tells you right away, before you generate a code, that this amount cannot be paid at the moment, and gives you a button to cancel the top-up so you can start a bigger one or pick another method. Nothing is charged.

• A captured frame you open full size from your notes or Last connections now closes with Escape or its Close button, not only with a click, and puts you back on the picture you opened it from.
• The camera and microphone pickers on your own video keep you on the picker after you choose a device with the keyboard, hide again when the pointer leaves your video, and the microphone list opens toward the middle instead of running off the side of the video.
• Moving through the soundboard's Library with the Tab key now shows the whole outline on each Listen and Add button, and the scene you have open in the scene editor shows it too.
• In the scene editor, pressing a button in the Sources list with the keyboard keeps you on it. The Add menu opens on its first choice, moves with the arrow keys, and closes cleanly with Escape or Tab.
• The session summary now waits while you move through it with the keyboard, as it already did while the mouse was over it.
• The command palette (Ctrl+K) now tells a screen reader which command is picked as you move through it with the arrow keys.
• In Settings, the line that says a place search found nothing is easier to read.
• The location accuracy bar settles on its value instead of overshooting it first, and the icon at the top of Settings no longer spins each time you change section.
• Face Swap's Tuning and Performance sections now react to the mouse when they are open, and the face already in use no longer shows a pointer that suggests clicking it does something.

Settings, Community said "Community could not be loaded" when it was sorted by Popular or Top rated. The configurations, layouts, themes, automations, game sets and edits members share show again in every sort.

The countdown on the Community Canvas used to read your computer's clock, so a clock set ahead showed your next pixel as ready before it was. It now counts down from the time left that the server gives you, on the canvas and on the Canvas tab of your dashboard. If a pixel is refused, the real time left comes back on screen straight away.

A box you cut out in a scene, your own camera or a party guest, now has its edge redrawn along the picture's own edge, so less of the room is left round a shoulder and hair no longer looks like a block. Choose Soft, Normal or Tight for each box.

• Match light tints a box toward the light around it, so a friend under a cold lamp looks lit by your warm room
• Enhance cleans up and sharpens a small picture, like a phone or a guest's camera, when its box is bigger than it
• A new template, Me over my screen, puts you, cut out, over a shared screen (with VIP, like every screen box)

A new Scares tab sits next to Reactions, Zooms and Games in the reactions pad. It has two sections:

• Jumpscares: a scary face takes over your outgoing camera with a loud scream the stranger hears, even when you are muted.
• Anomalies: Behind you, a dark figure that glides across the room behind you in half a second. You stay in front of it, so it looks like something passed behind your back. No sound, so you can pretend you did not see it.

The stranger's video now carries our own mark in place of ome.tv's: OME and our pin, turning in 3D. While you are stopped it shows the whole name, OME UNDFND. While you search and talk it is OME and the pin, and the full name comes back for half a minute every two minutes. It changes corner every five minutes, steps out of the way of your panels, and lifts above the control bar when the bar comes up.

With VIP you can turn it off for calls in Settings > Appearance > Watermark. Replay clips carry the same mark, with the pin turning.

When Ome.tv shows its ban card, there is now a button under our unban guide that clears what Ome.tv saved in your browser, then reloads the page. With the store extension it removes every Ome.tv cookie, including the ones websites keep hidden from scripts, along with Ome.tv's cache. Your overlay settings, saved files and Face Swap models are kept. It is the first step of the unban guide, one press away.

The reminder asking VIP members to leave a vouch now has a close button in its corner, and Escape closes it too. You no longer have to hover the button for three seconds to get rid of it. It comes back on a later visit until you have left your vouch.

How to unban yourself on Ome.tv now opens with the whole route in five steps: an older Vivaldi with its updates frozen for a new device fingerprint, then a new Gmail account for the login. The older Vivaldi is now the recommended route, and a different browser stays as the option for computers where you cannot change settings.

Party no longer has its own fixed shapes. With no scene on air, everyone in your party is shown in an even grid, and every other arrangement is a scene you build and change in the Scenes editor. The Party panel's Picture tab lists your party's scenes with live previews, so one press puts one on air.

• Each guest keeps their seat when somebody leaves, and you can move people up and down the Guests list
• A new All guests box shows everyone on camera in a grid, a row or a column, and closes ranks by itself
• New party templates: Friend in the corner, Friends below me and Me in the spotlight
• Boxes can have a frame and a soft shadow, and a switch between scenes can dip through black, slide or zoom
• The editor has a right-click menu, copy and paste between scenes, lining boxes up with what the stranger sees, and layers you drag by their handle
• The Scenes panel shows every scene as a live preview, with a mixer for each box's sound

Jumpscares now rush at the screen from a tiny dot to full size, then strobe with red flashes, glitch tears, color inversion and screen shake. 15 genuinely scary faces (dead clowns, hollow eyes, skinned faces, screaming demons) processed with extreme contrast and red tint. Five different scream sounds rotate randomly at earrape volume through the mic. A slider at the top of the tab sets how loud it is in your own speakers, and this browser remembers it. The stranger always gets the full blast.

The popup you open from the toolbar has a new look and fits without scrolling. It leads with one status line that says whether the overlay is ready and what to do next, with sync beside it, and your plan sits next to your account name.

• Extra delay opens a dark menu you can also use with the keyboard, instead of your system's white list.
• Your Load now shortcut shows as keys, and pressing them opens the page where you can change it.
• On the Privacy tab the three shield modes are laid out with what each one does. It also tells you whether the ome.tv tab you have open is using your choice, with a button to reload it when it is not.
• Copy diagnostics now sits inside Activity, next to the log it copies.
• The tip about pinning the extension can be closed for good.

The Soundboard has a Library tab next to your pads, with 72 sounds ready to use: vine boom, faaah, bruh, risers, whooshes, the metal pipe, sad trombone, Wasted, the laugh track and more.

• Search by name, or pick a group: Hits, Voices, Crowd, Risers and transitions, Fails or Wins.
• Listen plays a sound to you only, so you can browse in the middle of a call.
• Add downloads it onto your first empty pad, on that pad's key, and it is kept like any sound you load yourself.
• Every sound is set to the same loudness, so no pad is much louder than the others.

The info panel can now be switched off. Point at it and press the new eye button on its edge, press Alt+Shift+I, or turn off Show the info panel in Settings → Panels. It disappears from your screen and from your stream, and checks keep running behind it, so turning it back on shows the person you are talking to.

Before, the panel could only be dragged around inside the window, so there was no way to move it out of the picture.

Your camera preview now has arrows on each side for camera filters. Click them, or swipe across your picture, to flip through the looks one by one while you watch. The filter's name shows in the middle of the preview as you switch. Four new looks join the deck: Golden, Cinema, Dream and Faded. Filters are part of VIP, and the same choice still lives in Settings under Camera and mic.

The I'll do it now button on the VIP feedback card now unlocks after 3 seconds of hovering instead of making you wait longer.

The camera checks under Settings > Skipping now have their own settings, shown under a rule while it is on. The defaults are how the rules worked before, so nothing changes until you pick something else.

• Skip black screens: choose what counts as black (a camera that is off, black or nearly black, or very dim too) and how long it has to stay black, from half a second to 4 seconds.
• Skip women and Skip men: choose how sure the face check has to be, from 60% to 90%. Higher means fewer wrong skips.
• All face rules: decide fast on one clear look, balanced on two, or carefully on three looks that agree, which also gives someone more time to come into frame.

Settings > Streaming now opens on three steps: connect your chat, add the overlay to OBS, and check it on stream. Each step gets a tick once it really works, and Add the overlay to OBS only ticks when OBS has your link open, so you know the Browser source took it.

• Live chat shows the newest messages from your Twitch or Kick chat, and tags each vote as counted or says why it did not count (too early, votes paused, not allowed to vote).
• Chat commands shows every word your chat can vote with, and one Save button keeps both lists.
• The voting rules are spelled out in a sentence above the settings, and it changes as you change them.
• Disconnect stops listening to your chat without clearing anything else.

Fixed: your own vote words now show on the OBS overlay. Before, it only ever showed !skip and !next, even after you saved your own. Test on stream and Preview now play the sample vote with your words too.

The Spectator panel's buttons now match the themed Start and Stop on ome.tv. Start, Copy and Next in both are filled with your accent and rise a little under the pointer, and Stop both chats takes the darker Stop colour. Each one carries the same play, skip or stop mark as ome.tv's buttons, so you can find the right one at a glance.

The quieter buttons (each browser's Next, Relay settings, Stop in both browsers) sit on a raised base, and the voice option you picked is underlined in your accent. Join lights up once you type a code.

Each face in Face Analyze now shows the clearest picture of it from the last 30 seconds instead of the latest one, which was often a blink or a blurred turn. Under the face you can see how sure the detector was of that picture.

While the panel is open it looks at the camera every second instead of every five, so it has more pictures to choose from.

Edits now land on the sound itself, and you can see them from across the room.

• On the hit. Every flash, shake and zoom lands on the kick or snare you hear, off-beat and triplet hits included, instead of on the nearest step of a grid. Songs with one very loud kick no longer leave the rest of the drop empty.
• Bigger moves. Shakes, zooms, tilts and colour splits are larger, and most styles now zoom in on every kick. Full intensity hits harder than before. Flashes still never come more than two a second.
• Smoother. Fast moves no longer step unevenly from frame to frame with Smooth motion on.
• With a face swap on, the moves wait for the song, so the other person sees them on the beat.
• In your own headphones. On headphones that play late, like Bluetooth, the song you hear is shifted so its hits match your own camera view, and Try it in Settings follows what you hear. The other person hears the song as before.
• On Scenes and Spectator. An edit plays over a scene on air and moves the whole scene, and it plays over a Spectator relay too. Only the fake skip still keeps edits off.

The Edits panel now has the same Sound and Motion settings as Settings > Edits: the song's level, hearing it yourself, intensity, speed ramps and smooth motion. Change them while you play, and both places stay in step.

The short notes that appear in the top left corner of the video ("Your camera", "On air", "Copied", a failed lookup) are now drawn like the sound check chip and the chat vote bar beside them: a dark plate, white text and a coloured icon that tells you what kind of note it is. The tinted glass, the coloured edge and the INFO or ERROR label are gone, and each note is only as wide as its own words.

When ome.tv cannot see a face in your camera, it stops the search and opens an "Are you there?" window with a countdown on its OK button. The overlay now hides that window, shows a short note in the corner with the time left, presses OK as soon as ome.tv allows it and carries on searching.

If the window opens on a page you have not started yet, it stays hidden and your own Start answers it. The version that asks you for a photo is still shown, because its OK sends that photo.

When the OME team sends you a message, it now opens as a card in the middle of the overlay and stays until you close it. Before, it landed in the log stream in the corner, and with logs switched off you never saw it at all.

Replace and Clear on a Soundboard sound only take a press once they show, when you point at the sound or reach it with the keyboard. Before, they took presses while hidden, so on a touch screen a tap on a sound's corner could replace or clear it instead of playing it.

On ome.tv itself, the page's own styles reached into the scene editor: a white band covered the top bar, the scene name field disappeared, the buttons piled up on the right and ome.tv's orange showed through the stage. The editor now keeps its own look on the page, and it stays solid whatever you set Panel and Menu background to.

• Spectator: in German, a chat's state ("Mit einer fremden Person") and the relay settings' longest names take a second line instead of running past the panel, so it no longer scrolls sideways.
• Volume: the stranger's volume slider grows to fit its label, so in German "Stumm" and the slider stay on the slider's card.
• Edits deck: every tile reads in full in every language. When a style and a length do not fit on one line, the length takes a second line with its mark, and an empty tile's "Add an edit" wraps instead of being cut.
• Control bar: with every button on in a half-width window, the bar takes one more step in, so Check and Settings keep their room at both ends.
• Replay: in a browser that cannot record, the card says why and nothing else, without an empty progress bar under it.
• Community: in French, a card's "Dans l'emplacement 6 de ton deck" takes a second line instead of pushing Report off the card.
• Settings: the line under each section's name is no longer cut off. It now runs under "Saved to your account" and reads in full.
• Scenes: during a fake skip, the status at the top of the dock says the whole sentence instead of stopping at "Your scene comes...".
• Media deck: an empty slot says "Datei hinzufügen" in full in German, on two lines, instead of "Datei hinzuf...".
• Edits: in Settings, every slot's style and length read in full in every language, such as "8 taktów", "4 compases" and "Levendig".
• Settings: a long choice beside a short name gets more of the row, so the German camera effect and "Ein- und ausschalten" on the control bar's shortcuts read in full.
• Community: a card's name takes a second line instead of being cut short by a long button.
• Startup card: "talk time" reads in full in Spanish and French.
• Dropdown lists: a long choice, like a song, a guest's name or one of your own game sets, wraps onto a second line when the list is open. It used to be cut off at the edge of the list, and when it was the chosen one, the check that marks it went with it. In the game set list, the Built in and Yours headings now line up with the sets under them.
• Bold text: words the overlay sets in bold, like the score in "Auto-skipping below: 3.0" and the bold phrases in its messages, are bold again on ome.tv. The page's own styles had been making them plain.

Press Scenes on the control bar to build a picture of your own out of your camera, your phone, a second webcam, your party guests, the other stranger from OME Spectator, a shared screen, pictures, videos, text and colour, the way streamers do in OBS. Start from a template or an empty scene, then drag, resize, crop, round and fade every box in the full screen editor. Press a scene to put it on air, and press it again to go back to your camera.

• Change scenes with a cut or a fade, from the panel or with keys you set in Shortcuts.
• Sharing a screen asks you twice before it starts, because a screen sent as your camera can get your account banned, like a fake skip.
• Automations can put a scene on air, move to the next one, and show or hide a box when something happens in a call.
• Your scenes and their pictures are saved to your account with your other files.

Community has 38 new edits from us, on phonk, hardtekk and montagem songs such as MONTAGEM OCTUS, RADAHN, SLAYERTEKK, FUNK DEVIANT, EXTERMINATOR and The Sky Is Mine. Each one comes with its song, so Add to deck puts it straight into your deck with nothing to pick.

• Camera: with no effect picked, Strength, Look and Edge softness step aside. They come back as soon as you pick an effect.
• Mini map: the switch now sits at the top of the Mini map group, with the map view, spin, pin and reset under it.
• Games: your sets are a plain list instead of boxes inside a box.
• Fixed: greyed out buttons now look greyed out. Before, a button you could not press looked the same as one you could.
• Fixed: the stream overlay rows and the shortcut lists in Games, Replay and Edits now line up with every other row.

• Sound is now second in the Settings sidebar, right under Appearance. Interface sounds, their volume and the alert when someone is waiting are all there.
• Related settings at the bottom of Sound take you straight to the other sound options: your microphone level, Ear guard, the mark that shows when a stranger sends no sound, game sounds and song level. The option you land on lights up for a moment so you can spot it.
• Search shows the best match first. Type a section's name and that whole section comes first, then matching groups, then single options. Press Enter to jump straight to the top result. Accents are optional, so "dzwiek" finds Dźwięk.
• Shortcuts moved up next to Appearance, Microphone now sits right after Camera, and General is called System, pinned at the bottom of the sidebar with Changelog.

• Every group has an icon that shows what it is for, so you can find Camera checks, Voice mask or Diagnostics by shape before you read a word.
• Each section opens with a header that shows its icon and one line on what it does.
• The sidebar shows each section on a small icon tile, and the open section lights up in your accent color.
• Search results show which section each result comes from, with its icon.

Every option is still there, sorted so you can find it faster.

• Face Swap has its own section. It starts with the switch and a button to choose a face, then Fast, Balanced and Best presets that set every dial at once.
• Long lists are split into short named groups. Camera now has Framing, Light and colour, and Frame rate and load. Microphone splits into the microphone, your voice and sound cleanup. Spectator has Picture and voice, Between strangers, Safety and Both browsers.
• Options that belong to a switch sit under it. "Choppy means under" sits indented under "Skip choppy video", and the static lengths under "Static before a new stranger".
• Every section fits in the sidebar without scrolling, with Changelog pinned at the bottom.
• Fixed: options under a switch now grey out or come back as soon as you flip it. Before, some only updated after you closed and reopened Settings.

The overlay now numbers its versions the way browser extensions do, with four numbers. 66.5 is now written 6.6.5.0, and the order has not changed, so a newer overlay always has a higher number. Small fixes get a number of their own, like 6.6.5.1, instead of taking the next release's.

You will see the new form on the loading card, in Settings and on your dashboard. You do not need to do anything.

The swapped face could lag behind the picture under it: your camera moved at its full frame rate while the face on top changed only a few times a second. Now every frame that goes out shows your face swapped from that same moment, so the face and your head always move together.

• Face Swap is much faster. Each swap now runs entirely on your graphics card, Enhance included, so far more frames get their own swap every second. The biggest gain is in the Chrome Web Store extension, where the work used to slow down the whole ome.tv page.
• New Sync setting. Exact (the default) only sends frames that carry their own swap. Smooth sends every camera frame and fills the gaps with the nearest swaps, as before.
• The panel shows what the stranger sees. While Face Swap runs, a live preview sits at the top with how many frames a second go out, how far behind your camera they are, and a strip of the last second's frames. Press and hold the preview to compare it with your camera as it is.
• Your own face is never sent by mistake when Face Swap starts. Until the first swap is ready, the picture goes out blurred instead.
• Two new settings: Lighting strength, for how much of your room's light the swapped face takes on, and Forehead, for how far up your forehead the swap reaches when hair falls over it.

• Every dropdown in the overlay now opens as a dark list in the overlay's own style, with a check on your current choice, instead of your system's white or grey menu. Arrow keys, typing to jump and Escape all work, and Escape now closes just the list, not Settings behind it. Firefox still shows its own menu for now.
• Frames per second has a 60 option (Settings, Camera, with VIP). When you pick it, the overlay also asks your webcam to film at 60. Not every webcam can, so turn on Show what it costs to see the rate you are actually sending.

Spectator, Party and the phone link could show "Our relay is busy right now" while the two browsers were already connected straight to each other and working. That warning now only shows when the connection really could not be made.

• Edits: Find more in Community and Edit your deck no longer touch, an empty tile is as tall as a filled one, and the hint, Song level and buttons under the tiles sit evenly apart. The Soundboard got the same even spacing.
• Dropdowns: a long choice, like a long song name or a German or Polish option, stays on one line and ends in "..." instead of making its row two or three lines tall.
• Sliders now end exactly where the switches and dropdowns above and below them end.
• Streaming: Add it to OBS is now a row of its panel that opens, like the rows above it, instead of a box sitting inside the panel.
• Control bar: with automations pinned to it, the bar now shrinks its buttons to fit the video instead of pressing Check and Settings against its edges.
• AutoSkip: the By location options hang from one line under their switch, without a stray line across the top.
• Community: the cards in a row line up, titles at one height and Show and Report along the bottom of each. Your shared list shows a name and its version apart (it read "Streamv2"), and a long name ends in "...".
• Location sources: correcting a location no longer opens with an empty gap under the search box.
• Settings: buttons, fields and dropdowns in one row are one height, and an unread entry in the changelog list lines up with the others. In a half-width window, Streaming puts each box under its name instead of squeezing the name, and Edits gives the deck's choices a line of their own.
• Setup: Next lines up with everything above it, and the colour box has as much room under its rows as over them.
• Chat: Profile and Mention on a member's card are one height, and so are Disconnect and the bell.

EMPTY glow, DRACARYS slowed and NO BATIDÃO red in Community came with their song, but pressing Add to deck ended in an error, so nobody could use them. They now go into your deck like the other official edits, song included.

• Quick messages are translated too. With "Send my messages in their language" on, pressing Enter right after typing used to send what you wrote. Now it sends the translation.
• Short Spanish stays Spanish. Words like "hola" or "vale" were read as Catalan or Portuguese, so they went out untranslated or through the wrong language. Your language and the stranger's now count first.
• Your first message after opening ome.tv is translated instead of going out as typed while the translator was still starting.
• The stranger's messages are translated from the start of a session. Before, they could stay untranslated, with a "language pack is not downloaded" notice, until you turned translation off and on. Now your next click or key catches up on every waiting message.

Edits have ten styles now. Pick one for any slot in Settings, Edits.

• Mono is dark now. Crushed black and white, corners fading to black, film grain, a slow push in, and cuts to black on the beat.
• Neon colours your picture from magenta to cyan, with a big glow and a pump of light on every kick.
• Glitch breaks the picture apart with colour splits, stutters, inverts and lost tracking.
• VHS looks like an old tape, with scanlines, bleeding colour and the picture slipping now and then.
• Cinema is the trailer look: black bars, teal shadows, warm skin, cuts to black and the lens pulling focus.
• Film is warm and grainy, with light leaking across the frame on the drop and the hits.

The move editor has a new Focus lane that takes your picture out of focus and back. Cuts to black sit in the Flash lane, and like flashes there are never more than two a second.

While a Spectator bridge is running, the camera pill on your preview now lists Spectator above your webcams. Pick a webcam to show your own face to your stranger, and pick Spectator to hand the picture back to the bridge, as often as you like.

While your own camera is on, your stranger hears you instead of the other stranger, and a short connection drop no longer switches you back to Spectator on its own.

The bar at the top of every page has been rebuilt. A soft highlight follows your pointer from link to link, and a thin line under the page you are on slides along when you move to another. Statistics, Resources and Panels now share one menu that glides from one to the next as you move across them, and the arrow keys walk its rows.

• Your account menu opens on your name, your role and your VIP status, with its links grouped by what they are for
• New notifications swing the bell once and pop their count in, instead of appearing silently
• Your balance rolls to the new amount when a top-up or a case payout lands
• The footer is shorter and easier to scan, with live service status beside the logo and the legal pages next to the copyright line

If your system asks for reduced motion, the bar stays still.

The site's new look now carries into the pages you use once you are signed in.

• Your dashboard greets you in the same bold capitals as the rest of the site, and your numbers sit in one row of large condensed figures under a strong line. They rise into place one after another when the page opens, and the level and lookup bars fill as they land.
• Your VIP time is one line beside the greeting instead of a gold box, and the VIP badge that repeated it next to your name is gone.
• Every section of the dashboard and the VIP panel opens with a title in the same capitals, without the small icon beside it.
• The VIP panel opens the same way as the dashboard.
• On a member's profile, the numbers under their name sit on the same row of figures as your dashboard, and each one still opens its breakdown when you point at it or tap it. Section titles use the same capitals and rise into view as you scroll to them.
• The activity graph on a profile fills in week by week the first time you scroll to it.
• A long name on a profile no longer breaks in the middle of a word. The Share card and Customise buttons sit under the name instead.
• With reduced motion turned on in your system, all of it simply appears.

The name at the top and bottom of every page now reads OME, the blue map pin, UNDFND, the same way it appears on our Discord and in the Chrome Web Store. The pin drops into place when the site opens and hops when you point at it. If your system asks for reduced motion, it stays still.

The swapped face could trail behind you. The camera picture moved at once, but the face on top of it showed a moment that had already passed, most of all when you turned your head or talked. It now keeps up much better.

• Face Swap follows your face from frame to frame on its own outline, so finding it in each frame takes about half as long as before.
• A new swap starts as soon as the last one is done, so your face is redrawn more often every second.
• The finishing work on each swap (matching your lighting, steadying the skin, sharpening) takes less time, and in compatibility mode each result is picked up straight away instead of waiting its turn behind the page.
• It helps most where the lag was worst: on a busy computer, and when Face Swap runs in compatibility mode.

Edits are smoother. While an edit plays, its knocks, zooms and tilts are drawn 60 times a second instead of at your camera's rate, so the drop snaps cleanly instead of juddering. If your computer cannot keep up, the edit goes back to your camera's rate by itself. You can turn this off under Smooth motion in Settings, Edits.

Edits can also play with time now. Your picture slows down on the beat, then whips back to live, the way speed ramps look in TikTok edits. The song keeps its own pace.

• Choose Speed ramps in Settings, Edits, under Motion, and Auto Edit adds a ramp that lands on every hit.
• Choose Ramps and slow motion to also get slow motion just after the drop and every two bars.
• Place them by hand in the new Speed lane of the move editor. Try it shows them on your private preview first.
• Speed ramps stay off until you turn them on.

When your panels were locked, panels like Spectator lost their close button and would not move, with nothing saying why. A locked panel now shows a padlock where the close button was. Press it to unlock, and the close button and dragging come back. Trying to drag a locked panel now tells you the panels are locked.

If you stream your ome.tv calls on Kick, kicktools.pl is made for the rest of your stream: free OBS widgets, alerts, a chat bot, polls and giveaways. It is in Polish and made by the OME team.

• The new Partners page lists it, and so does the footer.
• The home page and the dashboard, next to your OBS stream banner, point to it.
• Ask in our Discord how to stream on Kick and the help desk answers with the overlay's Streaming settings and kicktools.pl.

Settings, Streaming now ends with "Streaming on Kick?": one button to kicktools.pl, the OME team's free tool for alerts, a chat bot and goal bars on Kick. It is in Polish.

The maintenance screen, the error screens and the "Access restricted" screen now use the same title size as the dashboard.

On phones and other devices that skip the 3D picture on the Script tab, the status card now shows the OME.UNDFND pin instead of a small icon in a coloured box. The rows under it, the build progress card, the install confirmation and the fix walkthroughs lost their icon boxes as well, and the walkthroughs no longer glow in the corner.

The small status lines on the Script tab, like "Live now" and "Action needed", are written normally instead of in spaced-out capitals. The welcome pack window lost the label above its title.

A few lines read like an advert. They now say what happens.

• Auto renew in your wallet says your balance is charged when VIP runs out, and how much to top up when the balance is short.
• After a case opens, the button says "Back to the shelf", and the jackpot and bonus case headings lost their exclamation marks.
• The setup window opens on "Let's get you set up", without the sparkle icon.

The overlay and the ome.tv page under it now use the same true black and neutral greys as the site's new look, instead of blue-tinted ones.

• Cards, menus, pickers and text in the overlay are neutral grey and black.
• ome.tv's own chat, popups and dropdowns follow, so the page under the overlay matches it.
• Text boxes and dropdowns in the overlay have a clearer outline, so it is easier to see where to type or pick.

The Store, Top up, Members, State of OME.TV and the extension permissions page now open the same way as Statistics, Guides and the FAQ: one large title on the left with a single line under it. The small labels and icons that sat above or beside some of those titles are gone.

Every dashboard section used to wear its own colour: purple for the affiliate program, cyan for your activity, pink for Play, red for your account. They now share the site's blue, and the VIP panel is gold throughout. Green and red are left for what they mean, like money in and money out. The reward cards lost their coloured icon tiles, and their big numbers read in white.

The site has a new look, rolling out piece by piece.

• The background is true black, with neutral greys instead of blue-tinted ones, so the blue buttons are the only colour that stands out.
• Big page titles are set in bold condensed capitals, the same lettering as our Chrome Web Store pictures and the Extension 2.0 trailer.
• The top bar is a floating pane of frosted glass, and the phone menu opens as a matching glass panel.
• Buttons are rounded pills, and the main ones stay blue.
• The home page headline ends on a blue block that sweeps in as the title lands.
• The dashboard and the VIP panel open without a box around your name, and your numbers sit in one clean ruled row.
• Page titles rise into place line by line when a page opens, and section headings do the same as you scroll to them. With reduced motion turned on in your system, they simply appear.
• Section headings on the store, guides, blog, FAQ, help and feature pages use the same capitals as the page titles, without the small icons beside them.
• The FAQ's help boxes, the guides (their cards, steps and the related guides at the end) and the field list on the IP lookup page lost their icons in coloured boxes.
• The card that offers your language lost its coloured strip, icon box and blinking dot.
• Progress bars on the canvas page are plain blue instead of a blue to cyan fade.
• The sign-up card at the end of the IP lookup page has a plain blue edge instead of a gradient one.
• The VIP panel's countdown, the affiliate stream overlay cards, and the rewards page's notices and holiday giveaway card lost their icon boxes.
• The sparkle icon is gone: "See VIP" buttons show the VIP crown, and everywhere else the icon now matches what it marks, from the canvas and map controls to Cases, your wallet and your profile.
• The sign-in page counts its members in the same condensed figures as the home page.
• The last navy-tinted panels (the map frames, the demos on the home page, the phone camera page, tooltips) use the same neutral greys as the rest of the site, and the Discord buttons on the setup and verification pages are the site's blue.
• Cards that wait on you or are the recommended choice (the setup page's current step, the recommended install route, the FAQ's help box) are marked with a thin blue edge instead of a blue tint.
• The State of Ome.tv report uses the site's section headings and cards, and its questions and method read at the same size as the FAQ. The provably fair checker shows its results on the same cards as its form.
• Small labels across the site (top-up steps, the Script tab, your balance history, profile settings) are written normally instead of in tiny spaced-out capitals.
• The Script tab's status card and the two version cards under it share one calm look, with no coloured glow or tint behind them.
• The "page not found" screen is rebuilt in the new style, with the address that failed and two ways back.
• Your weekly recap chart is drawn in the site's blue, and the sparkle bursts on a few dashboard buttons are gone.
• Keys you need to press, such as F12, Ctrl + V and Enter, look like the same keyboard key everywhere: the Script tab, the troubleshooter and the search.
• The site search sits on the same solid panel as the site's other windows, and its descriptions and hints are easier to read.
• On the affiliate tab, the creator kit and the commission tiers sit on the same cards as the rest of the tab. Your current tier and your available balance are marked with a thin blue edge, and the promo format picker matches the site's other switches.
• On the State of Ome.tv report, the notes under the charts are easier to read, and the timezone and copy buttons match the site's other buttons.
• The gender split on your activity page and on the State of Ome.tv report uses the same blue and pink as the overlay, so it reads the same way everywhere.

The Rewards page now opens with a proper title and one line under it, like the rest of the site, instead of a small panel heading with an icon. The greetings on the dashboard and the VIP panel share one title size.

Guide and blog titles now use the same size as the other page titles. The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy open on the left above their contents, with the dates on one plain line instead of a centred title under a label.

The cookie banner now asks about ads as well as analytics, and nothing in either group loads until you say yes. VIP accounts still never load ads.

• Ads are what pay for the free tier, so if you decline them, the dashboard asks a free account to allow ads or take VIP before using the free tools. Your account settings, privacy controls, data export, account deletion and wallet stay open either way.
• The visit and referral cookies now count as analytics and wait for your yes too.
• Deleting your account now also removes your overlay automations, camera statistics, activity heatmap, guestbook reactions and canvas bookmarks.
• The privacy policy is updated to match.

• With reduced motion turned on in your system, the dots under the VIP feature demos were too small to tap reliably on a phone. Each one now has a full size touch area, and a screen reader names the feature it shows.
• The troubleshooter's picture of the red bar on ome.tv showed old wording. It now shows what the bar really says, "Click here for the 30-second fix", so it is easier to match to your screen.
• On a computer where the 3D picture on the Script tab could not start, the status card showed an empty space. It now shows our pin there instead.
• Voice control and screen readers now get the search button, your account button and the canvas Interface menu by the names they show on screen.
• While a sale is on, the VIP page and the store no longer redraw the whole page a moment after it opens. The sale countdown caused it.
• The provably fair checker names the prize your roll lands on, such as "3 days VIP", instead of an internal code.
• Opening the site search now dims the whole page. Before, only the top bar went dark, the page showed through the results, and clicking beside the search did not close it.
• Scrolling over a long list of search results now moves the list instead of the page behind it.
• On a phone or tablet, the search no longer lists keyboard shortcuts you cannot use, and a single match reads "1 result".
• On a translated page, the key names in the troubleshooter (F12, Ctrl, Enter) stay as they are printed on your keyboard.
• On the home page, the browsers you can pick under "Will it run in your browser?" now light up when you point at them. Before, the hover made them a shade darker, which nobody could see.
• Closing the site search with Esc, the close button or a click beside it puts the keyboard back on the search button, instead of sending the next Tab to the top of the page.

When a phone or another device asks to join your OME Link, the waiting room shows which country it is connecting from, so you can spot a request you did not expect before you press Accept. That line had been empty for every device.

The extension popup now has two tabs, Loader and Privacy. In Privacy you can turn on a fingerprint shield that makes ome.tv see a steady decoy instead of your real browser, so you are harder to recognise between visits. It leaves your language, screen and system details alone, so the decoy stays consistent and does not make you stand out.

• Stable decoy: one steady decoy for this browser.
• New each session: a fresh decoy each time you open ome.tv, so your visits are harder to link.

It is off by default, and it is privacy only: it does not change your IP or network address. Reload ome.tv after you turn it on.

The store is laid out like a checkout now. The plans sit in one list on the left, each with its length and its price per day, and your order sits on the right: the plan, your balance, what is left after paying and the one button. On a computer the order stays beside you while you read the questions further down.

• The language menu on the store and top-up pages opens in the site's own style instead of your system's plain list.
• The top-up page and its order pages use the same headings and summary card as the store.

Everything that still showed up in English is now translated into Polish, German, Dutch, Spanish, Czech, French, Romanian and Latvian. That covers the Automations editor and every block in it, the Soundboard, Edits, Replay, Spectator, Chat decides, Community, saved configurations and layouts, and the new settings menu.

The overlay follows the language your account is already set to, so there is nothing to change or reinstall.

Hover over your own video and two pills appear at the bottom: Camera and Microphone, each with the name of the device you are using right now. Click one to see everything plugged in, with a check mark on the one in use, and pick another to switch. When your phone, a picture or video, or another input is going out instead of your webcam, the Camera pill says that instead.

They used to sit on the control bar over the stranger's side, and the site's own pickers only appear when you have a second device, so with one camera and one mic you could not see what was in use at all.

A link that points at part of another page now opens right there. More answers on the VIP page in the store used to open the VIP page at the top, so you had to scroll down to find the questions yourself.

On a free account, the site could open a new ad window every few clicks, which made the dashboard hard to use. Ad windows now come rarely, with a long break between them, so you can click around and get things done.

Links and buttons also stopped working for some members after an ad window was blocked. Clicks now always go through.

When ome.tv showed "You have denied access to your devices", the Camera and Microphone pills on your own video had nothing you could pick. That happened after closing the camera prompt, when Windows blocked the camera, when you had no microphone plugged in, or when ome.tv refused your camera by its name (OBS and other virtual cameras).

Now the pills stay on screen while ome.tv has no camera, and picking a device in them starts it for ome.tv directly. If the browser itself blocks the camera, the pill says so and tells you where to allow it.

Your soundboard sounds, the pictures and videos on your camera's media deck, your background picture and your Edits deck with its songs are now saved to your account. Sign in on another browser, or after reinstalling the extension, and they come back by themselves. Saving works on every account, free included.

The files are private to your account. The ones you already added on this browser are saved the next time the overlay starts, and they are kept for as long as you keep using the overlay: 90 days without a sign-in deletes them. Turn saving off, or delete your files from your account, in Settings, General, Your files.

Buying VIP now happens on its own page, the store, instead of a pop-up window. All five plans sit side by side with their price per day, and the checkout under them shows your balance before and after the plan you pick. If you are short, one button opens the top-up page with the missing amount filled in, and the plan you picked comes along.

The Buy button on the VIP page, Extend and Reactivate on your dashboard, Store in your account menu and the footer, and the Buy and Renew VIP buttons in our Discord messages open it. You can still enter a code, buy as a gift, and redeem your code the moment you pay. The store is in English and Polish, with no ads.

Each top-up now has a page that shows where it is, what to do next, and how long top-ups like it usually take, worked out from the ones approved recently. A crypto top-up shows how long the network itself takes once your payment is seen.

The page is written in English and Polish, with a language menu at the top. Notifications about a top-up open its page, you can turn on browser notifications from there, and every top-up in your history now has a Details link.

A camera and microphone button on the control bar lets you switch hardware devices without leaving the call. Hover over the button to see what is plugged in and pick a different one.

The Face Analyze panel now uses tabs: Faces shows the live detection, Results shows your latest search. No more juggling two windows.

The top-up page and each top-up's own page now show how long your payment method usually takes by the hour it was sent and by the day of the week, from the last 90 days. The bar for right now, or for the hour your top-up was sent, is highlighted, so you can tell whether sending it now or in the morning gets it approved sooner. Point at any bar, or use the arrow keys, to read its figure.

• The store is easier to read: the three steps to pay run across the page, and the answers to common questions are shown in full instead of hidden behind the questions.
• A rejected top-up now ends its timeline on a clear red mark instead of a grey dot that looked unfinished.

Topping up your balance now happens on its own page instead of a pop-up window. You choose the amount and the payment method on one screen, and each method shows how long it usually takes, worked out from recent approved top-ups. A summary beside it shows your balance before and after, bonus included.

The balance button in the top bar and the Recharge Balance button on your dashboard open it. When you are short for a VIP plan, it opens with the missing amount filled in and shows what will be left after you buy. The browser's back button goes back a step, and a refresh keeps your place. The page is in English and Polish, the amount box takes a comma or a dot, and there are no ads on the top-up pages.

The store, the top-up page and each top-up's own page are now also written in German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Romanian, Czech and Latvian, the languages the rest of the site speaks. The page picks your browser's language, and the menu at the top switches it.

Settings, Edits now shows every change the moment you make it. A song you remove leaves the list right away, a song you add appears while it is being read, and emptying a slot clears it on the spot.

• Add several songs at once, or drop the files anywhere on Settings, Edits.
• Listen to any of your songs from its row, and see which slots it is in. A song in no slot has its own Add to deck button.
• An empty slot shows only its song list, and a deck with no songs yet tells you how to start.
• Removing a song asks first when a slot on it has moves you placed by hand.
• A slot set to its second or third drop shows that drop again when you come back.

Settings, Edits has a move editor. Press the sliders button on a slot to open it.

• Six lanes (Flash, Shake, Zoom, Tilt, Split and Stutter) on every half beat, from the beat before the drop to the end of the edit. Press a square to place a move or take it away. Auto Edit's moves are where you start, and Back to Auto Edit returns to them.
• Try it plays the edit on a preview of your own camera, with the song in your ears only, and lights up the beat you are hearing. Nobody on the call sees or hears it.
• Fill a whole lane in one press: every beat, every half beat, every bar, on the song's kicks or snares, or nowhere. Undo takes back your last changes.
• Move the drop a beat earlier or later when the edit should start somewhere else. Your moves go with it.
• Flashes are still kept to two a second. A flash that would go over is drawn half lit, and plays softer.
• An edit with moves you placed can be shared in Community like any other, and its card says the moves were placed by hand.

Settings, Community has an Edits shelf: edits other members made, ready to add to your deck and play.

• Share one of yours from Settings, Edits with the globe button on its slot. Leave Share the song with it on, and the part of the song the edit plays goes with it, so anyone can play the edit straight away.
• Press Add to deck on an edit marked Song included and the song lands in your songs with it. There is nothing to find first.
• Turn the song off and only a fingerprint of its rhythm around the drop goes. To use an edit like that, press Add to deck and choose your own copy of the song. It is listened to in your browser to find the drop, even when it is sped up or slowed down. If your copy sounds a little different you are asked first, and if it is another song nothing is added.
• Change an edit you added and it becomes yours to share, credited to the one it came from.

A new Edits button on the control bar opens a deck of eight edits. Press one and a song plays into the call while your picture hits on its beat, like a cut made in an editor: a crash zoom on the drop, knocks on the kicks that ring out, flashes that bloom, punch-ins, tilts and colour splits, with motion blur on every fast move. Press it again to stop.

• Add any song you have in Settings, Edits. It is analysed in your browser to find the beat and the drop, and it stays in your browser unless you share it with an edit.
• Choose a style for each edit, how many bars it runs and which drop it starts on. Mono is hard black and white, Vivid is rich colour, Phonk is red and black with the hardest hits, Dream is soft and glowing with no flashes, and Clean keeps your own colours. Every style lifts a dim room so your face stays readable. Remix makes new moves for the same song.
• Flashes are kept to two a second, and your face stays visible through every one.

OME.UNDFND now shares its own themes, configurations, layouts, game sets and edits in Community. They carry OME.UNDFND on their card, so you can tell them from what members shared.

• Press Base Pack in Settings, Community to see only those, on any shelf. Press it again to see everything members shared too.
• The Base Pack has edits for popular phonk and funk songs, among them FUNK DO BOUNCE, NO BATIDÃO, MONTAGEM BRAVO and CaliMan. Add your own copy of the song and the drop is found in it, even in a slowed or sped up version.
• Load or add one like anything else in Community, then make it your own and share your version.

In the boxed tabs (your affiliate earnings and referrals, profile settings), the highlight now slides to the tab you pick instead of jumping. With reduced motion on, it moves at once.

On a wide screen, the dashboard and VIP panel sidebars now slide their highlight to the section you pick, including into a group as it opens. With reduced motion on, it moves at once.

The reactions on your picture are now drawings in the same style as the camera games: glossy hearts, a laughing face, flames, clapping hands, a surprised face, a party popper, a waving hand and a thumbs up, all lit from above with a soft shadow. They look the same on every computer instead of each system's own emoji.

• The Reactions and Zooms tabs of the pad show small drawings of what each one does.
• The wave card for a fellow member shows a drawn hand.

Twenty sentences across the guides and the blog were written as a dramatic reveal or as a list of everything that is missing. They now state the fact directly, with the same meaning and the same links. For example, the first takeaway of the post on userscripts and extensions now reads "OME.UNDFND is a browser extension on the Chrome Web Store, not a userscript."

Open a guide from the guides page and its title travels from the card you picked into the heading of the guide, and back again when you return through the breadcrumb. The guide's heading also shows straight away instead of fading in. With reduced motion on, pages simply switch.

Each guide now opens with its title, introduction and details on the left, in line with the contents list and the guide itself. The guide's topic moved from a label above the title to the start of the line with the date and reading time.

With the ome.tv theme on, the "I am" picker and its list show clean line symbols in the theme's colours instead of ome.tv's cartoon faces.

The Sunset, Ocean, Forest, Candy and Mono colours for your own game sets are redrawn.

• The two This or that cards are now two clearly different colours in every theme, and their words read in white. Before, Sunset, Ocean, Forest and Mono gave both cards nearly the same colour.
• Next to each other, the segments of the topic wheel step between light and dark, so you can still tell them apart while it spins.
• The frame around the Draw and guess board now shows on the white paper in every theme.

Pressing Add to deck on an edit that needs your own copy of the song now asks for it right there. Pick one of your songs, or choose the file on your computer, and the drop is found in it.

• No more trip to Settings, Edits first when you have no songs yet.
• A file that turns out to be another song is not kept, and you are told so.

When you draw a word from a built-in set, the stranger can now type the answer in the chat in any of the nine game languages. You draw "dog" in English and "pies", "perro" or "Hund" counts too. Your own word sets still match only their own language.

On the dashboard, copying a code, a link or your key now brings the tick in with a small spring, so you can see the copy worked. With reduced motion on, the tick simply appears.

The Missions, Boards, Collection, Teams, Discover, Replay and Territory panels on the Community Canvas lost the coloured glow in their corner and the tinted box around their icon. Each opens with its icon in its own colour beside the title, the way the panels on your dashboard already do.

The games on your picture are drawn with depth and light now. The coin is struck gold with a raised rim: it shows its edge as it spins, lands with a small bounce and catches the light. The dice are ivory with dished pips. Higher or lower deals real playing cards face down and turns them over. The topic wheel has pegs, a ring of lights and a pointer that clicks past each segment.

• Rock paper scissors shows a stone, a sheet of paper and a pair of scissors.
• The score, the stranger's call on the coin, the timer and every word sit on dark glass plates, so they read on any wall.
• The games use no emoji, on your picture or in the Games tab and the game bar. In This or that, the buttons show each card's colour next to its key.
• Drawing the games takes less of your computer than before.

Blog posts now open with their title, summary and date on the left, in line with the contents list and the article, the same way the guides do.

Every edit in the Base Pack now carries the song it was made on. Press Play and it starts right away, no copy of the song needed on your computer.

The line under each guide and blog post title, with the author, the date and the reading time, now separates them with thin rules instead of dots.

The store icon on Find more in Community, in Settings, Games, was drawn as a solid white shape. It is an outline again.

The session recap after Stop now needs at least five minutes spent on calls. A run that sat waiting for a long time with only a few seconds of talking no longer gets a card. Session summary in the command palette still opens it whenever you like.

Ome.tv shows your camera in a square, which trims the sides of the picture. Reactions and camera games sat right at the edge, so part of them was trimmed away, on your preview and on the stranger's screen. They now sit inside the part of the picture everyone can see.

Hovering the location score in the info panel shows how many members confirmed the location and how many said it was wrong. It now reads +14 / −3 instead of using thumbs emoji.

The short messages that pop up after you do something now say what happened and stop there, without exclamation marks or emoji.

• Redeeming a code says "Code redeemed. Your VIP is on."
• Saving, changing or deleting a rating or a note says just that.
• Finishing setup, connecting the script, copying a code and claiming the welcome pack read the same calm way.

• Pressing Done while the topic wheel spins stops its ticking at once. Before, the clicks ran on to the end of the spin, and pressing Again during rock paper scissors counted 3, 2, 1 twice over each other.
• When chat votes to skip a stranger that one of your automations protects, the bar over the video now says the skip was blocked, instead of "Chat skips them" for the rest of the call.
• In speed rounds, a protected stranger is shown as kept when the time runs out, instead of a ring stuck at 0:00.

On the Community Canvas, the Discover and Live lists counted painters with an emoji. They now use the same person icon as the rest of the canvas panels, and an empty Discover gallery says "No builds here yet".

• After a coin toss nobody called, the heads and tails buttons work again straight away, without another toss first.
• A topic wheel, This or that or Draw and guess that was still loading no longer pops up after you pressed Done or started a different game.
• In Higher or lower, a second press while the card is still being dealt is ignored, and the right or wrong sound plays as the card turns over, not before.
• With the keyboard, Space and Enter on a game bar button now press that button.

On a small phone, the dashboard's ad blocker notice started under the menu bar and its top could not be scrolled to. It now opens below the menu bar, and all of it scrolls into view.

Replay's best moments are gone. That includes the pill above the Replay mark, the Save the best moments button and shortcut, and the Find the best moments and Moment sensitivity settings. Replay stopped listening for the times you and the stranger both got loud.

Saving works as before: Save replay keeps all of it, Save the last few seconds keeps a short clip, and Save this call (or a right click on the Replay mark) keeps the person on screen.

Cover with no longer offers An emoji, and the Which emoji picker went with it. If you had it picked, your face is now hidden with Soft blur. Big pixels and Bar over the eyes work as before.

Settings, Games has a place for sets of your own: topics for the wheel, pairs for This or that, and words for Draw and guess.

• Type one per line: an emoji first if you like for a topic, a slash between the two sides of a pair (🐶 Dog / 🐱 Cat), and after a bar any other word a guess may use (car | auto).
• Give each set a name, its language and one of six colour themes. The editor tells you what it could not read while you type.
• Your sets are saved to your account, so they follow you to any browser. They show up on the game's bar under Yours, and Play takes you straight into the game.

Two new games on the Games tab of your reactions pad, made for the first minute of a call, in nine languages.

• Topic wheel: a wheel of eight topics spins on your picture and stops on one, and you talk about it. Pick plain topics or short questions. It never lands on the same one twice until the whole set has come up.
• This or that: two cards, like dog or cat. Press the one the stranger picks. Press your own first, in secret, and your picture shows whether you matched, with a count of your matches.

The bar above your camera picks the set and its language, so the words can be in the stranger's language: English, Polish, German, Dutch, Spanish, Czech, French, Romanian or Latvian.

With Replay on, a good conversation is no longer lost the moment you press Next.

• Keep that call? When a long call ends, a small card over the video offers to save it. One press saves the whole call, from the moment they connected to the moment it ended, even if the next person is already on screen. Choose how long a call has to be, or turn it off, in Settings, Replay.
• Last connections shows how long each call lasted and how it ended: you ended it, they left, or which rule skipped them. While Replay still holds a call, its row has a Save button.

Saving works the same as before: the file goes to your downloads and nothing is uploaded.

Settings, Community has a Game sets shelf: topics for the wheel, pairs for This or that and words for Draw and guess, made by other members.

• Pick a game, a language or both to see only those sets. Each card shows a few of its items, its colour theme and how many members use it.
• Add puts a copy in your own sets in Settings, Games, saved to your account. When its author publishes a newer version, the card offers the update.
• Share any set you made, from Settings, Games or from Share yours in Community. Its words show on the cameras of the members who play it, so every word is checked first, and a set with words the filter catches waits for a review before anyone else sees it.
• Find more in Community, in Settings, Games, opens the shelf in your language.

A new game on the Games tab of your reactions pad. You get a word only you can see and draw it on a white board in the corner of your picture, while the stranger guesses.

• When they say it, press Guessed! or Enter. When they type it in the ome.tv chat, the overlay notices on its own, right on your computer, and calls it.
• Your picture shows a clock and a blank for each letter, and at the end the word, with the time it took when they got it.
• Choose how long there is to guess in Settings, Games: 30, 60, 90 or 120 seconds, or no limit.
• Two sets of words, Easy and Harder, in English, Polish, German, Dutch, Spanish, Czech, French, Romanian and Latvian.

The reactions pad has a Games tab: tic-tac-toe, a coin flip, dice, rock paper scissors and higher or lower. The game appears in a corner of your own picture, so the stranger sees it and plays along by talking or with their hand, and it never covers more than a quarter of your picture.

• Tic-tac-toe: click a square on your picture, or press 1 to 9. You place their mark when they tell you where. The score is kept for each stranger.
• Coin flip: a toss that lands on a crown or a 1.
• Dice: one or two, rolled on your picture.
• Rock paper scissors: 3, 2, 1, and your camera shows its hand.
• Higher or lower: they guess, you press it, and the run of right guesses counts up.

Everything on the picture is symbols and numbers, so it works whatever language the stranger speaks.

When you top up by bank transfer, PayPal or Revolut, the recharge window used to ask for a "sent" or "completed" status, so many of you went looking for the screen your bank shows right after sending. You do not need that one. Any screenshot that shows the amount, the date and who sent the money works, like the transfer's details in your bank app's history. The example picture now looks like that screen, with those three things numbered.

If you are in Poland, the BLIK transfer to a phone number (Przelew na numer) now walks you through it in Polish, from the instructions to the confirmation after you send.

On the statistics page, the line under the tabs now slides to the tab you pick instead of blinking from one to the other. With reduced motion turned on it moves straight there.

Side by side and stacked clips used to crop each camera to fill its half, so faces near the edge of the picture were cut off. Now every camera fits its half whole, and the clip itself is shaped to hold two webcam pictures.

• A phone held upright, or a widescreen camera, no longer sits on black bars: a soft, dimmed copy of the same picture fills the space around it.
• With you in a corner, the small picture takes the shape of your camera, so none of it is cut off either.
• The ome.undfnd.eu mark is now a small dark label in the top right corner. It stays readable on a bright wall, and video players no longer cover it with their controls.

Reactions on your own picture move like they mean it now: hearts float up and sway, a laugh pops in and wobbles, applause lands on a beat and a confetti cannon fires. A wave and a thumbs up joined them. They play in a corner of your picture, away from your face, and never cover more than a quarter of it, so your camera still looks like you.

• A Zooms tab with five moves aimed at your face: the dramatic zoom, a snap zoom, a slow push, a shake and a pull back.
• Hold a reaction down to keep it coming. While the pad is open, the number keys fire what it shows.
• The pad gets your picture ready as it opens, so the first reaction appears straight away.
• Lines drawn with the pen cover a quarter of your picture at most; older lines fade to make room.

The changelog, features, contact, setup, provably fair and community automations pages open on their title. The small label that used to sit above each one only repeated it.

The trailer and the demo videos on the home page and the feature pages now have the same rounded corners as every other picture on the site, and as ome.tv with the overlay installed.

Each row in Last connections now tells you more about the call.

• The time on a row is the call itself, from the moment the stranger connected until the call ended. The search for the next person no longer counts toward it.
• "You ended it" appears only when you ended the call while the stranger was still there. Pressing Next after they had already left keeps the row at "They left".
• Every row shows the time the call started, so the person from half an hour ago is easy to find.
• The stranger on screen right now is marked "On call now".
• Calls long enough to be a real conversation are highlighted, so they stand out in the list.

The IP lookup page no longer repeats its own name in a label above the title, and the sign-in card under it reads in ordinary sentence case.

The IP lookup page's title, introduction and lookup box now line up on the left with the explanation below them.

When a stranger's call reaches you only through a relay server, there is no address of theirs to look up. The overlay now skips them straight away, where it used to keep them on screen with a panel saying their address is hidden.

Your session recap counts them under Hidden IP.

The guides page opens like the rest of the site: the title on the left with the number of guides beside it, the same introduction, and the four topics to jump to.

In the guides, short lists of things to have or to check (what you need before you start, how to tell it worked) are plain rows now, each with its name and one line, instead of a grid of small cards.

The games on your reactions pad know who won now, and can sound like it.

• One score for the call. You are X, the stranger is O. A tic-tac-toe line, a round of rock paper scissors, a called coin and a dice duel all add to one score above the game. Hide it with the Score button; every new stranger starts at 0 : 0.
• Rock paper scissors: after your camera shows its hand, press the hand the stranger showed, and the winner's hand grows.
• Call the coin: press heads or tails for the stranger before you flip. The coin shows if they were right.
• Dice duel: your die on the left, theirs on the right, and the higher one wins.
• Game sounds: a drumroll under the dice, a ring under the coin, a fanfare for a win. Choose who hears them in Settings, Games: only you (the default), you and the stranger, or nobody.

The FAQ's category headings are plain text now, and the count of categories and questions under the title no longer carries icons.

The FAQ's title now sits on the left above the questions, with the count of categories and questions under it.

Opening ome.tv now makes the Chrome Web Store extension ask the store for a newer version right away. New versions reach you sooner than with Chrome's own check, which only runs every few hours.

When a new version is ready, the update card lets you switch straight away or later.

Shortcuts is now one of the parts you can tick when you save a configuration in Settings > Configs and layouts. Loading it puts your whole keyboard map back, and Undo takes it back for a minute like any other load. Untick it to leave your keys out, including on a configuration you share to Community. Shortcuts you gave your own automations stay as they are.

The Case Terminal's lights, shimmer and floating case now pause while they are scrolled out of view and pick up again when you come back, so the Cases tab asks much less of your phone or laptop while you read further down. Nothing changes on screen.

The sign-in card is one plain card now. The glow around it, the pulsing icon and the shine across the button are gone, and the button works the same.

• Buttons and switches that are already on still light up under the mouse, so you can see that pressing them turns them off: the config sections and the Share dialog's shelves, Party's listening chips and its Unmute, the phone remote's torch, cover and mute, and a note vote you gave.
• A few controls showed nothing at all under the mouse and now do: Party's two menus (which also show a hand cursor now), a note's expiry menu, the pen's colours, the accent colour swatch, Buy VIP in Settings, the chat's title bar, an empty soundboard pad, the folded notes in the passport and Face Swap, and "Add it to OBS".
• The words "Pause all" beside the automations switch show a hand cursor and light up, since clicking them works like the switch.

The blog opens like the guides page: the title on the left with the number of articles beside it, the same introduction, and the topics to jump to.

Every blog post now opens with its key takeaways, so you get the answer before the explanation. On a computer a contents list sits beside each post, and every post shows when it was last updated. A trail at the top shows where you are, and the end of each post lists more posts on the same topic.

• The guides page is grouped by what you came to do: get started, fix a problem, understand what you see, or VIP and earning.
• The blog's topic buttons show how many posts each topic has.
• Guides link to the blog topics that explain the why behind the steps.

Opening your verification link while signed out turns it into a sign-in link. Pasting that link into a browser where you are already signed in now takes you straight to the verification check instead of showing the sign-in page again. A sign-in page left open in another tab also moves on by itself once you have signed in.

On the Cases tab's streak track, the rungs you have reached no longer have the progress bar running through their tick or gift. On a phone, the "ready" and "day" readouts above the track stay on one line each.

Moving the pointer over the stranger's video used to dim the whole picture, darkest along the bottom edge. The video now stays at full brightness while the Report button and the control bar are showing.

Pressing Stop in the middle of a call could leave the stranger's picture on screen until the next Start. Stop now clears it and brings back the community canvas, the same as stopping before anyone connects. With Sharpen the stranger's video switched on, the picture also goes away when a stranger leaves first, while ome.tv looks for the next person.

Sharing a config, layout, theme or automation to the community asks for a name and a sentence about what it is for. The form used to look ready and only complained after you pressed Share. Now each box counts as you type and says how many characters are still missing, the way IP notes do, and the Share button stays off until both are long enough.

Pressing Stop a few seconds after you started no longer pops up the session recap. The card now appears only when your run lasted at least five minutes. You can still open it whenever you like with Session summary in the command palette.

After 3, 2, 1 your camera showed its hand straight away, so the stranger could see it and throw the hand that beats it. Now your camera's hand stays face down, a card with a question mark. Press the hand the stranger showed, and only then does yours turn over and the winner's hand grow.

• On the card that explains a sign-in problem, the Details and Developer mode folds show a ring when Tab reaches them.
• Tab no longer stops on the globe, where it showed nothing and did nothing. Its buttons are still reachable.

• With the keyboard, the Tab key no longer stops on the hidden Back to top button at the start of a page.
• With reduced motion turned on in your system settings, the Discord icon on the sign-in card no longer pulses.

ome.tv shows you your own camera mirrored, so a game's words, like a topic on the wheel or the two cards in This or that, read backwards to you while the stranger sees them the right way round.

• While a game or the pen is on your picture, your own view is not mirrored, so you see exactly what the stranger sees. A small badge by Done says so, and the mirror comes back when you finish.
• Words and numbers you write with the pen or in Draw and guess now reach the stranger the way you wrote them, not reversed.

On the Codes tab, an expired VIP code was faded until you hovered it, which never happens on a phone. It now shows its code and dates in grey at full strength, with the Expired badge beside it.

The article on filtering Ome.tv by country said Ome.tv charges for choosing a country. Ome.tv's own site lists choosing your country as free, so the article now says that, and explains what the setting cannot show you: where a match really connects from.

On a control bar with little room to spare, the Check button and its lock were drawn on top of the stranger's volume, recent, face and connection buttons. Check now shrinks to its icon instead, so every button stays visible and clickable.

While the Community Canvas loads, the steps still waiting their turn were too faint to read against the dark background. They now meet the contrast the rest of the site keeps.

When you paid with a BLIK code and Steam took a few minutes to hear back from your bank, the top-up said your bank declined the code, even though the money then arrived.

• Now we keep waiting and check whether the payment landed before saying anything. While it waits, the panel tells you Steam is still confirming.
• If Steam never answers, the order shows as in review and we check it by hand, so a payment that went through still reaches your balance.
• An order cannot be canceled while its code is still being checked.

The card you see while the overlay starts now greets you for the time of day ("Good evening", or "Still up?" after 23:00) and shows your level, your day streak, the countries you have met and your talk time. Under them is one line on what is next: the day your streak reaches with one lookup today, an achievement you have nearly finished, or how many lookups you have left.

• Nothing waits for it: the overlay is ready as fast as before, and any key or click puts the card away.
• If something is slow or fails, the card shows which step, as it always did.
• Turn it off in Settings > Panels > Overlay panels > Welcome at startup.

Your viewers can now watch their vote happen on your stream. Add one link to OBS and a card in the same style as the OME.UNDFND stream banner shows the !skip and !stay counts, each voter's name as it lands, how many skips are still needed, and the verdict when chat decides. It hides itself whenever chat is not voting.

• Find it in Settings > Stream control > Stream overlay. Copy the link, add a Browser source in OBS, paste it, and press Test on stream to place it before a call.
• The link is private. It stays masked, Show uncovers it for 5 seconds after a warning, and Regenerate makes a new one and switches the old one off everywhere at once.
• Pick the language your viewers see from nine, and it changes on your stream straight away. No new link needed.
• If the overlay is not signed in, the source shows a small offline card so you know what it is waiting for.

The sections in Settings now sit under five small headings, Overlay, Calls, On air, Library and App, so the one you want is quicker to find. Several sections got plainer names:

• On screen is now Panels
• Skipping is now Skip rules
• Stream control is now Streaming
• Config & Layout is now Configs and layouts
• System is now General
• What's new is now Changelog

Spectator has its own section instead of sitting at the bottom of Camera. Under Camera, Face Swap is its own group below Effects. The switch that looks up every stranger automatically is back in Settings, under Skip rules, so a search finds it.

Settings got quieter. Lines that only repeated a section's name, or said once more that something runs on your computer, are gone, and the longest tips are shorter. The small print under the face detector, the explicit camera check and picture quality now shows when you point at that status line.

On a browser without a built-in translator, the Translation section now says so instead of standing empty.

Replay moved out of System into a section of its own. A live card shows whether it is recording, how much it holds against the most it can hold, and every save in one row. You can now pause Replay to keep what it holds while nothing new is recorded, and set more of it yourself:

• How long the quick clip is, from 10 seconds to 90
• Whether to look for the best moments, and how loud a moment has to be
• Whether the timer shows over the stranger's video
• Frame rate, a VP9 format for smaller clips, and a memory limit for your computer
• Its shortcuts, listed in the section

Settings now has a Safety section with Safe view and the explicit camera skip, the ear and eye guards, chat safety and hiding your IP address. Picture quality moved to Camera.

The first time you use fake skip on a browser, it explains the risk and asks you twice. Shown often, or at the start of a conversation, the searching static can get an ome.tv account banned.

• When your passport cannot load, it offers Retry instead of asking you to close it and open it again.
• The locked media deck now has a way to get VIP instead of stopping at "this is a VIP feature".
• Automations and Last connections are calmer: the buttons on each row appear when you point at the row, and a pinned automation keeps its pin.
• The automations count says "1 error", not "1 errors".
• After you press Stop, the panel says "Stopped. Press Start to find someone." instead of "Stopped by user".
• A shortcut with no key reads "Not set" on the Shortcuts tab.
• A member who keeps their stats private shows when they joined, without two empty tiles.
• The VIP lookup counter on your player card shows ∞ on its own.
• Face Swap, when locked, looks like the locked media deck and has the same way to get VIP, and its first screen no longer says the download size twice.

• Replay keeps its save, pause and clear buttons out of sight until it is recording, and a browser that cannot record no longer shows what a replay would cost.
• The steps for adding the vote overlay to OBS fold away under "Add it to OBS" until you open them.
• With a plain color or your own picture behind you, the blur Strength and Look rows step aside, since they only change a blur.
• Spectator carries the VIP mark in Settings, like Effects and Face Swap.
• The Unblock button is just the word, without a tick in front of it.
• An empty soundboard pad says "Add a sound" when you point at it.
• Moving between Settings sections no longer saves to your account on every click (and no longer flashes "Saving..." each time). The section you were in is still remembered, saved once when you close Settings.

The mini map used to name continents, countries and cities in English whatever language the overlay was set to. It now uses your language, in all nine the overlay speaks, and falls back to English where a place has no name in it.

Under LED strips, a purple or blue room glow or a dark grainy camera, Face Analyze could stay on "waiting for a face" with somebody clearly on camera. When the first look finds nobody, the overlay now smooths out the grain, corrects the color and brightness of the frame and looks again, so faces in tricky light show up in the panel.

The camera skip rules use the same second look, so "skip if no face" no longer skips people just because their room is lit in one color.

• Small grey text across the overlay, like times, hints and the startup card's labels, is a little brighter and now meets the usual contrast standard.
• Buttons that only show an icon, such as rating a location, voting on a note or community item, and the buttons on an automation's row, now tell a screen reader what they do. The Check button keeps its name when the bar is too narrow to show it.
• The chat tabs under the video say which view is on, and a member's profile card is announced by name.
• The phone panel says "Battery 38%" instead of a bare "38%".
• Party's Sound tab and Spectator's waiting screen say less, and the passport's note is one sentence shorter.
• If the overlay cannot start, its banner now says so plainly, in your language when this browser has used the overlay before.
• Settings and every floating panel are announced by name to a screen reader.
• With reduced motion on in your system, the shortcut being recorded, the command palette and the muted microphone badge hold still too.
• With the keyboard you can always see where you are. Every control now shows a clear ring in your accent colour (switches that are on and sliders showed none, and many buttons showed the browser's plain white outline), and the info panel, the globe's buttons, a chat message's Reply and React and the canvas's close button appear when Tab reaches them.
• Stop on a button or a setting with Tab and its tooltip appears after a moment, the way it does under the mouse.
• The accent styles in Appearance are a single Tab stop, and the arrow keys move between them.
• The last hints that still used the browser's own tooltip (the session recap's chips, the tour's progress bar, the error code button, the diagnostics grid, the prestige star, a Face Swap face's full name) use the overlay's now: the same bubble as everywhere else, without the second's wait.
• On ome.tv itself, the control bar's buttons show one focus ring when you Tab to them, not the page theme's ring round the overlay's own.

Settings got clearer section names today, but a few places still sent you to the old ones. The command palette and Community said Config & Layout, the passport and the setup guide said On screen or Skipping, and the connection panel said Camera and mic. They now say Configs and layouts, Panels, Skip rules and Camera, the names you see in Settings.

The card that sums up your run on ome.tv could show a white band over its three big numbers and a blank white box where the countries, lookups and XP belong. Both are gone, so the whole card reads as it should.

• In Settings > Panels, "Countries you have met" now explains itself when you point at it, like every other row, and shows its shortcut, Alt + W.
• The title and text boxes of a note say their limits in words, such as 10 to 100 characters, in every language.
• In the automation editor, the field you pick after "this stranger's" is named in words, such as "is one of us" or "IP address", instead of its code name. Six fields that had no name yet got one.
• The automation editor no longer says "Unsaved" about an automation you have only opened.
• In Polish, the last settings and messages that were still in English outside the automation editor now read Polish: skipping choppy video, replacing your background, the picture quality styles, the voice mask, waiting in another tab and the picture-in-picture window.
• The warning that your computer is too busy to send a sharp picture no longer ends in a lone dash when the picture size is not known yet.
• In Polish and Czech, the Connection panel shows the whole "Likely device" label, and in Polish, German, Spanish, Romanian and Latvian the Party sound tables show the whole "Stranger" heading. Both used to end in an ellipsis.
• The Chat decides vote bar shows its whole first line, including how many votes it takes, in every language and with your own vote words.
• The shelves in the Share dialog are pills you switch on, not browser checkboxes, and once three are picked the rest dim.
• The small Replace and Clear buttons on soundboard pads and media tiles show the overlay's own tooltip, and a pad this browser could not store says so in its tooltip.
• More labels show whole in longer languages: Spectator's "Stop both chats" in French and Romanian, the phone remote's buttons in German, Romanian and Latvian, a Party guest's status in Dutch and Romanian, and the date someone joined on a chat profile card in Czech and Latvian.

With the light theme on, the tabs under the video, Debug Logs and the OME.UNDFND chat docked there were white text on a white column. They now use the same dark text and light surfaces as ome.tv's own chat beside them, and the message bar matches ome.tv's.

If your stream's chat is on Kick, Chat decides kept saying it had lost the chat connection and never counted a vote. Kick changed how its chat lets viewers in, and the overlay now joins it the new way, so !skip and !stay from your Kick viewers count again. Twitch chats were not affected.

Opening this page in a browser showed an error saying it only works from the extension. It loads normally again, and What's new in the overlay settings keeps working as before.

Chat with a stranger who speaks another language without leaving ome.tv. Turn on Send my messages in their language in Settings > On screen > Translation, then type in ome.tv's chat box as usual: a line above it shows your message in their language.

• Enter sends the translation, Alt+Enter sends what you typed.
• Their language is the one they write in. Until they write, it is their country's main language.
• A message you already wrote in their language is sent as it is.

Everything is translated on your computer, nothing is sent anywhere. It needs a browser with the built-in translator, like Chrome, and each language downloads once, the first time you use it.

Settings has a new section, What's new, with the latest changes in a few lines each. A dot on the Settings gear tells you when there is something you have not read yet, and every entry links to its full text on this changelog page.

Settings has a new section for streamers, Stream control. Chat decides and blind start moved there from On screen, and Chat decides can now be set up the way your stream works:

• Stream delay: how far behind the call your stream runs. Votes that arrive in a new stranger's first seconds were meant for the one before, so they no longer count against the new one.
• Majority to skip: half, 60%, 75% or 90% of the votes.
• Chat can keep a stranger: turn it off and !stay only counts against the skips. When chat keeps someone, a speed round stops for them too.
• Who can vote: everyone, subscribers with VIPs and moderators, or moderators only, read from the badges in your chat.
• Your own vote words: up to four of each beside !skip and !stay, like !dalej or !zostaw.
• Pause votes: a button in Stream control and a shortcut you can set in Settings > Shortcuts, for a stranger you want to keep without chat.
• The vote bar over the video can be turned off; votes still count.

Give every stranger the same time: 30 seconds, 1 minute or 3 minutes. A ring on their video counts the round down and Next happens at zero, so you can meet a lot of people in an evening, or run a "one minute each" stream.

• Keep anyone worth keeping: click the ring, or press Alt+Shift+K, and the clock stops for that stranger.
• Turn it on in Settings > Skipping > Speed rounds. A shortcut to switch it on and off can be set in Settings > Shortcuts.

A new camera check in Settings > Skipping skips strangers the face model reads as younger than 18. It runs on your computer like the other camera checks, and it is free.

• It is an estimate. The age is read from the camera, so it will miss some people under 18 and skip some adults. It only ever skips someone, it never keeps anyone because of their age.
• Automations no longer receive the estimated age. This switch is the one place it is used.

Reporting someone on ome.tv no longer means keeping them on screen while you do it.

• Alt+Shift+Q covers the stranger's picture and mutes them, then opens ome.tv's own Report window. Press it again, or Report in that window, to send it, and the next stranger comes.
• When Safe View has hidden someone, its cover now has a Report and skip button, so you never have to uncover them to report them.
• Prefer ome.tv's own Report button? Turn on Settings > Skipping > Reporting > Cover and skip when I report someone, and it does the same.

The report itself is ome.tv's, exactly as if you had pressed it yourself. Close ome.tv's window instead and the stranger comes back with their sound.

Replay now marks the moments where you and the stranger both got loud: a laugh, an argument, a shout across the screen. A small pill above the Replay mark says how many it has found, and one click saves the best three as one short clip, each with the seconds that led up to it.

• Also in Settings > System > Replay, and as a shortcut you can set in Settings > Shortcuts.
• Moments are found by loudness alone, on your computer, when both voices are in Replay's sound. Nothing is transcribed or sent anywhere.

A new Reactions button on the control bar puts something on your own picture for a moment: hearts, laughing faces, fire, applause, a wow face, confetti, or a dramatic zoom on your face. The stranger sees them, and they are gone in a couple of seconds.

• Draw opens a pen over your own preview. The stranger sees what you draw, and each line fades a few seconds after you finish it. Pick a colour, clear it, or press Escape when you are done.
• Reactions and the pen are free, and every reaction can have its own shortcut in Settings > Shortcuts.
• Settings > Camera and mic > Picture has a new Look: Film, Vivid, Noir, Cool, Vintage and Soft, on top of brightness and contrast. Picture controls need VIP.

When you meet someone from a country that hardly any member met this week, the overlay tells you: "first member this week to meet someone there", or how few others did. It goes by the country alone, so it is right for strangers on mobile data too.

• If the country is also new to you, the new country moment says both at once.
• With the stranger's card face down at the start of a call, these moments wait for the card to turn over.

When your phone is your camera with OME Link, it now drives ome.tv on your computer too, so you never have to reach for the keyboard while you are on camera.

• Next skips to the next stranger, or starts the chat when it is stopped.
• End chat stops the conversation without stopping your phone's picture.
• Save clip keeps the last moments when Replay is on.

Once a conversation has lasted 2 minutes, Next and End chat ask you to tap again, just like on your computer. The buttons appear above your phone's controls as soon as the call is live.

Your passport now groups countries into regional sets: the Baltics, the Nordics, the Balkans, the Gulf states, Southeast Asia, the Southern Cone and more. Meet someone in every country of a set to complete it.

• Finished sets show as stamps, and the ones under way show every flag of the set, so the country still missing stands out.
• Meeting someone from a new country says where it leaves its set, like "Latvia. Baltics 2 of 3", and the country that finishes a set gets a moment of its own.
• Four new achievements for completed sets, from your first to twenty of them. The Six Continents badge also shows its own icon on your dashboard now.

No more asking "can you hear me?" into silence. When nothing has come through from a stranger for 6 seconds, a small mark on their video says No sound yet, or No microphone when no audio is arriving at all. It disappears the moment they make a sound.

• Skip strangers with no sound: a new switch in Settings > Skipping > Their sound skips anyone who stays completely silent for 6, 10 or 15 seconds. Anyone who says anything is never skipped by it.
• Free, and no lookup used: both read your own connection to the call. Nothing is recorded.

The mark is on by default and can be turned off in the same place.

Settings > Skipping has new rules that use what the lookup finds out about a stranger.

• Skip strangers on a VPN: their location is not real, and many trolls and bots hide behind one.
• Skip people you have already met: ome.tv often matches the same people again. Pick 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. Only you can see who you have met.
• AutoSkip by location, by language: type a language in the search box ("Spanish", "Portuguese") to match everyone from countries where it is spoken.
• AutoSkip by location, near me: match anyone within 50, 100, 250 or 500 km of where you are, whatever their town is called.

The first two work on their own, without starting AutoSkip.

Your dashboard can now make a card of your month: time on camera with a bar for every day, the strangers you looked up, the countries they were from, and how it compares with the month before. Post it anywhere.

• Find it at the bottom of Activity > Weekly recap. Pick this month or last month, then download the PNG or share it straight from your phone.
• Every number comes from our servers' own counters, the same ones behind your weekly recap.

Once a conversation has lasted 2 minutes, Next and Stop ask for a second press. The first press shows "Press Next again to end this conversation" right above the button, with how long you have been talking. Press it again within 3 seconds and the conversation ends as usual.

• Your own presses only: ome.tv's Next and Stop buttons, your skip shortcut, the media key and the picture-in-picture window. Your skip rules and automations still skip on their own.
• Short calls are untouched: skipping through strangers works exactly as before.
• On by default: turn it off in Settings > Skipping > Long conversations.

A new switch in Settings > System > Your IP address sends your ome.tv calls through ome.tv's own relay server. A stranger who looks you up, with any IP tool, then finds that server instead of your town and your internet provider. It stays off until you turn it on.

• See it working: the Connection panel shows Your IP address: Hidden on every call that went through the relay.
• It never stops a call: a call that ome.tv gives no relay goes direct as before, and if the relay stops answering, hiding pauses itself until you reload.
• Your picture can arrive a moment later, and ome.tv itself still sees your address.

On holidays, free accounts can now take free VIP time for finishing one sponsor page in Rewards. The first one is Halloween: 24h of VIP, open until the end of November 1. Press Get my free VIP day to take it.

Each giveaway is one per account. You do not need the extension set up first, because VIP starts the moment the page is done. Between giveaways, Rewards shows which one comes next and the day it opens.

A new First impression readout in Settings > Camera and mic shows how long strangers stay with you on average and how many leave in the first 5 seconds, from your own calls.

• Compare your setups: with enough calls each way, it shows how long people stay with your background blurred or replaced, your face hidden, Face Swap, a voice mask, your phone's camera and more, next to how long they stay without it.
• It also splits the average by time of day.
• Calls you skip in the first seconds do not count, so the numbers are about the strangers' choice. Everything stays on your computer, and nothing about the strangers is kept. Clear it any time.

Two new switches in Settings > System > Protect your ears and eyes. Both are off until you turn them on.

• Ear guard: evens out quiet and loud strangers, so you stop reaching for the volume after every skip. Pick Even out and cap screams and a sudden scream arrives as a raised voice instead. Your volume control works as before. Best with headphones.
• Dim flashing pictures: if a stranger's picture flashes faster than three times a second, it is covered until it has been calm for two seconds. Made for anyone sensitive to flashing light.

Both run on your computer and use no lookups.

Settings has a new section, Config & Layout. Save the settings you have now under a name, say "Hunting" with your skip rules on or "Stream" with blind start and a voice, and switch between your sets with one press of Load.

• Pick what a set holds by the Settings sections you already know: Appearance, On screen, Skipping, Camera and mic and System.
• Undo stays on the row for a minute after a load, in case it was the wrong set.
• Layouts live here now too. Save where your panels sit and load it back from the same section, and Alt+L opens it. The layouts button on the control bar is gone.
• Your sets follow your account to every browser you sign in on. Settings that need VIP only change on an account with VIP.

Settings has a new section, Community, with what members share in one place: configurations, layouts, themes and automations. Pick a kind or see them all, search by name, and sort by popular, new or top rated.

• Load one in a press. A configuration, a layout or a theme applies at once. Undo takes it back for a minute, and Keep saves it to your own list in Config & Layout.
• See before you load. A theme shows its colours, a layout shows where its panels sit, and a configuration lists every setting it changes.
• Rate what you tried with a thumb up or down, and report anything that is not okay.
• Share yours from Community, or with the globe on any row in Config & Layout: a configuration, a layout, your current theme or an automation. Your Discord name and picture go with it. Towns and regions in AutoSkip stay with you.
• Settings that need VIP only change on an account with VIP. Community automations moved here from the Automations section.

Turn on Warn about links and text bots in Settings > Skipping > Chat safety and the overlay reads the stranger's chat for you.

• Links get a warning underneath, and opening one takes a second click, so a link can never be opened by accident.
• IP loggers are never opened. Links made to reveal your IP address (like grabify) are blocked, with a note saying so.
• Text bots are caught: a link or an "add me on" handle in the first seconds of a call is reported as a likely bot, and Skip likely bots can skip it for you.

Nothing from an ordinary conversation is sent anywhere.

Streaming your ome.tv calls? Your viewers can now vote on each stranger by typing !skip or !stay in your Twitch or Kick chat. When enough skips win, the overlay presses Next for you, and a small bar at the top right of the video shows the votes as they land.

• Paste your channel link in Settings > On screen > Chat decides and press Connect. No account linking, and nothing is ever posted to your chat.
• Pick how many skip votes it takes. The same number of !stay votes keeps the stranger, and you can always skip yourself.
• Votes in the first seconds of a call wait a moment, so a vote meant for the last stranger never skips the new one.

The stranger's card can now stay face down for the first 30 seconds or the first minute of every call. Talk, guess where they are from by the voice and the accent, then the card turns over on its own. A good format for streams, and fun off camera too.

• Skip rules still work at once, since only the card waits. A click on the covered card shows it early.
• The map waits with the card, so nothing gives the place away.
• Turn it on in Settings > On screen > For streams.

Turn on Ask before I send personal details or links in Settings > Skipping > Chat safety, and the overlay reads your own messages before ome.tv sends them.

• A phone number, an email address or a social media handle asks once. Press Enter again to send it.
• Links and IP addresses ask too, because ome.tv can ban accounts that send them.
• Once you send one kind to a stranger, it does not ask about that kind again in the same conversation. What you type is read on your computer and sent nowhere else.

Your own preview always looks sharp, even when strangers get something much worse. The Connection panel now ends with Your picture at their end: the size and frame rate that actually reach the stranger, and what is holding it back, if anything: your computer or your upload.

If a camera effect or Face Swap keeps your computer too busy to send your full picture, the overlay tells you once, with the size strangers are getting, so you can pick a lighter effect or a lower frame rate in Settings > Camera and mic.

Talk time used to tick for every minute the overlay was open, even with nobody in front of the screen. Now a minute counts only while you are actually on a call with a stranger and looking people up. A tab left open on its own earns nothing, so your talk time, your level and the leaderboards reflect time spent talking.

Nothing you have already earned changes. If you are talking to people as usual, your talk time keeps counting exactly as before.

When you press Stop, the recap now reads like a story instead of a row of numbers.

• Three headline numbers: your time on calls, how many strangers became real conversations (30 seconds or more), and your longest one, each compared with your last session.
• Where your strangers went: one bar shows who you talked to, who you skipped, who left, and who your own skip rules skipped, with every rule named (location, no face, bots, VPN and the rest).
• The rest in one line: countries with their flags and how many were new, lookups, notes and the XP you earned.

It stays up longer, pauses while your mouse is over it, and closes with Esc or a click.

Settings now shows every option to every member. The Essentials, More and Everything picker at the bottom of Settings is gone, so nothing is ever hidden from you, and search always finds the setting you are looking for.

The setup wizard's "What do you want this for?" step still switches a couple of sensible things on for you. It no longer changes how much of Settings you see.

Click a name in the OME.UNDFND chat and the card now shows the person, not just three numbers. It wears their colour (the profile accent they picked, or their rank colour), and shows their level, their flair tag and their about line next to talk time, lookups and the month they joined.

• Mention puts their name into your message box, so you can reply without typing it out.
• Profile opens their full page on the site.
• If you hid your stats or your about line on your profile, the chat card hides them too. A private profile shows no flair and no stats in chat.

With Live logs on, the Debug Logs tab in the chat column now follows Chat decides as it works: joining your stream's chat (and joining again after losing it), each vote with the count after it, every vote that did not count and why (the stream delay, who can vote, a pause), a majority that is not there yet, the verdict, and a call that ended before chat decided.

These lines stay in the tab and never cover the video. In a busy chat the tab lists the first votes for each stranger, and every vote still counts.

The microphone settings used to sit at the bottom of the Camera section, under every camera effect. They now have a section of their own, Microphone, right below Camera in the Settings menu: volume, the compressor, push to talk, the voice mask and the browser's echo and noise switches, with the level meter.

A saved configuration keeps its microphone settings, and now lists them as Microphone.

Some home routers and mobile networks change the last part of your address now and then. The overlay signed in fine on the new address, then lost its session a moment later with INVALID_TOKEN and left the search stuck on Waiting. It now keeps going as long as you stay on the same network.

After Settings > System > Reset to defaults, Ear guard and Flash guard kept working on every stranger, and Chat decides kept listening to its channel, while their switches already showed them off. They now stop the moment you reset, together with the chat guards, speed rounds and Safe view.

If ome.tv could not use your webcam because you closed its camera request or Windows blocks the camera for your browser, a paired phone stayed stuck under the You have denied access message and Start did nothing. The overlay now steps in for the missing webcam, so your phone goes out to strangers and Start works, without asking for the camera again.

Panels you moved now land in the same place on any screen size. A layout set up on a big 4K monitor used to end up on top of ome.tv's own page on a smaller laptop screen. Now every panel keeps its spot relative to the edges of the window, and it follows along when you resize the browser.

Positions saved before this update still open where they were, and they move the new way after you drag them once.

In the Chrome Web Store extension, Face Swap now always runs in compatibility mode: on the ome.tv page itself instead of in two background workers. It uses the same models, and the panel says when this mode is on. On a slower computer the swap can trail a moving head a little more during a busy call.

The Pre-release overlay, loaded from the Script tab on your dashboard, keeps the background workers.

The soundboard has its own button on the control bar, next to the media deck, so you can play a sound without opening Settings in the middle of a conversation.

• One panel for everything: the eight pads, the on switch, the sound level and "Hear them yourself" are all in the panel. Drop it anywhere beside the video.
• Stop all when it matters: the button wears a dot while a sound is playing, and Stop all is right under the pads.
• Alt+Shift+B opens and closes it. Your pads keep their Alt+1 to Alt+8 keys.

It has moved out of Settings > Camera and mic, which now has a button that opens it.

The Script tab now shows the two ways to run the overlay as release channels, so you can see at a glance which one to pick.

• Release: the Chrome Web Store extension. It starts by itself on ome.tv, and every update is tested and reviewed by Google first. This is the one we recommend.
• Pre-release: the Legacy script. It carries the newest overlay the moment we ship it, before it has been fully tested, and you paste it into ome.tv on every visit.

Whichever is newer is marked Newest, with a list of what the pre-release has that the release does not yet.

• The Rewards page lists your recent rewards: what each sponsor page added and when, so you can check that one counted.
• The IP lookup page says when your free lookups come back in your own time, instead of a fixed European time that was an hour off all summer.
• When you top up your balance, the payment step shows whether someone is verifying payments right now before you pick a method.
• The reminder before your VIP ends compares the real price per day of the plans, and the daily free case reminder no longer pushes you to open it before midnight.
• In the overlay, the message you get when today's free lookups are used up now says when they come back.

• When your free lookups for the day are used up, the overlay, the extension's popup and its setup page show the time they come back on your own clock. The overlay used to compute that time one to two hours late.
• The popup now offers the same ways forward as the overlay: VIP, earning free lookups on the Rewards page while a top-up is left today, or waiting for the refill.
• When a Rewards top-up lands, the overlay tells you how many lookups it added.
• The out-of-lookups card no longer lists the location finder as a VIP feature. Seeing where people are from stays free; VIP adds AutoSkip by location and by ISP score.
• Your first lookup gets a short note on how far to trust the country, the city and the network.
• Signing in from the extension's setup page brings you back to that page, and it now says your Discord account needs to be at least 90 days old.
• The extension uses the same word for a lookup as the overlay in every language.

The "users online" count no longer sits in the middle of the idle screen. It is a pill on your player card now, next to your other numbers (hover it for the exact figure), and the Community Canvas TV moves down to the centre of the free space.

If you switch the player card off, the count goes back to where ome.tv puts it.

Settings, Report, the safety reminder, the "Are you there?" check, error messages and the ban screen on ome.tv now use the same cards as the overlay's own dialogs: the accent line along the top, a small title with a close button, readable text, and normal sized buttons in a row at the bottom.

• Log Out in ome.tv's Settings is no longer the biggest button on the card.
• The ban screen is readable in the dark theme, and it links to our step by step unban guide right above the payment buttons.
• The Full Screen, Settings and Report buttons over the videos match the rest of the overlay's controls.
• The Country and Gender lists use the overlay's font and row size too, so every country fits in one compact sheet instead of covering half the screen.

Two things that used to need a shortcut or a trip to Settings now have their own buttons on the control bar.

• Fake skip switch: press it to show the stranger the searching screen with your mic silent, and press it again to go back to exactly what you were sending before (your camera, a video file or your phone). It is off until you press it, lights up while it is on, and turns itself off when the next stranger arrives. With VIP, like the other camera inputs.
• Replay button: saves your replay with one press. While Replay is off, the same button turns it on. It wears a dot while Replay is recording, and its tooltip says how much it is holding.
• Save the last 30 seconds: a new way to save just the moment that happened, without the minutes before it. Press Alt+Shift+C, or use the new button in Settings.
• Right-click the replay chip on the video to save only the current call.
• More Replay keys: the Keybinds tab has a Replay section where you can also set keys to turn Replay on or off and to clear it. Turning it off with a key asks first when it is holding something you have not saved.

The control bar also fits better in a half-width window: the Check button no longer gets squeezed under the lock.

• The home page and the setup page now say, before you add the extension, that signing up needs a Discord account that is at least 90 days old.
• The install steps include the Discord verification step, which they used to skip.
• On a phone, the main button sends the page to your computer instead of opening a store page that phones cannot install from.
• Visitors who are not signed in find Set up at the start of the navigation.
• The VIP rule that keeps skipping until someone from a chosen city connects is now called Auto Skip by location everywhere, so it is no longer confused with seeing where people are from, which is free.
• The old setup video showed an install that no longer exists, so it is no longer linked as the setup guide. A new one is coming.
• If you set up with the Chrome Web Store extension, the dashboard no longer repeats its setup steps. It only asks who may see your profile.
• Signed-out visitors no longer get pop-under ads on the home, setup, guide, FAQ, blog and VIP pages.

ome.tv's menus and popups no longer open underneath the overlay.

• The Country and Gender lists open over the map and the Community Canvas TV instead of behind them.
• Settings, Report and ome.tv's other popups dim everything behind them, our widgets included, so nothing cuts through the middle of the card any more.
• With HD video on, the Report button shows when you hover the stranger's video. Before, the sharper picture covered it.
• The Full Screen, Settings and Report buttons on the videos are compact pills in a row now, instead of two big slabs across your own camera.

In the Last connections panel, the Keep picker sat higher than the Clear all button beside it. Both now share one line with the counters.

• If your Discord account is too new to sign up, the message now names the date you can sign up from, instead of asking you to try again later.
• Rewards no longer tells members who set up through the Chrome Web Store to generate a script. It asks you to set up the extension and open ome.tv once.
• Rewards top-ups now count per day from the same morning refill as your free lookups, so the last one of the day and the refill never disagree.

The bar under the video now carries the stranger's volume, and you choose what else is on it.

• Stranger's volume: press the speaker to mute, hover it for a slider, or turn the mouse wheel over it. It replaces ome.tv's own slider, so there is one volume control instead of two, and it remembers your level in this browser.
• Choose your buttons: Settings > Appearance > Control bar has a switch for every button except Check and Settings. Right-click the bar to get there.
• Pin your automations (VIP): put your automations on the bar, each one either running once when pressed or switching on and off. Use the pin on a program's row in the Automations tab, or pick it in the Control bar settings.

The Start, Stop, country and gender tiles under ome.tv's video are flat now and line up with each other in every state.

Turn on Replay in Settings, System, and the overlay keeps the last minutes of your calls in your browser's memory. When something happens worth keeping, press the Replay mark on the video, or Alt+Shift+R, and the replay is saved to your downloads as a video file. Save this call keeps only the conversation you are in.

Choose how far back it reaches (up to 15 minutes), whether the clip shows the stranger alone, side by side with you, stacked upright for phones, or with you in a corner, and whether it has the sound of both of you, only the stranger, or none. Your side is what the stranger saw and heard, so camera and voice effects stay on. Nothing is uploaded, and turning Replay off or closing the tab forgets it.

Replay never keeps a stranger the explicit camera check flags: everything recorded of them is dropped. Recording people without their permission is against the law in some places, so only save and share clips you are allowed to.

When you duplicate an automation you installed from Community automations and share your own version, its card now says which automation it started from, with a link to the original on the website. The shelf also opens on the week's featured automation: the one other members installed most over the past seven days.

Sharing earns something too. Four new Creator achievements unlock as other members install the automations you shared, from the first install up to a thousand. Your own installs do not count.

Under the address in the info panel, a new row shows how many other members met this stranger this week. With VIP it also shows how long people usually talk to them (calls under 10 seconds do not count), how often members skip them fast, who usually hangs up first, how many calls became long talks, and whether members blocked them or had their camera covered as explicit.

Everything covers the past week only, because addresses change hands, and nothing appears until enough members have met the address. Your own calls never count in what you see. Automations can use the same numbers, and the bot badge no longer shows on an address where members had real conversations this week.

The Automations tab has a new Community automations section. Browse what other members built, sort by popular, new or top rated, pick a shelf, and open any of them to read every block before you install it. Each card says what the automation will be able to do and how many members run it. An installed one arrives switched off, the same review sheet as an import comes first, and when its author shares a new version the row offers the update.

To share your own, press the globe on its row, give it a name, a sentence and up to three shelves. Your Discord name and picture are shown with it, and anyone can read its blocks, so never share one holding a private link or password. One that uses the internet or chat blocks is checked by a moderator before anyone can install it, and you can take yours down at any time. Members who installed one can rate it, and anyone can report one.

Shared automations also have their own pages on the website, at ome.undfnd.eu/community-automations.

The picture quality settings (Settings, System) have a Style choice. Auto reads how heavily each stranger's video is compressed and picks the cleanup and sharpening for it, so a blocky stream gets cleaned up instead of having its blocks sharpened. Natural, Crisp and Maximum detail are fixed looks, and moving any slider switches to Custom with your own numbers.

• Steady picture calms the shimmer of compressed video wherever nothing is moving
• Brighten dark rooms lifts the shadows when a stranger sits in the dark and leaves a well lit picture alone
• Colour brings back the colour compression washes out
• Hold to see the original shows ome.tv's own picture while you hold it, so you can judge the difference. Two new shortcuts on the Shortcuts tab do the same and switch sharpening on or off.

Everything still runs on your own graphics card, on every plan, with nothing downloaded.

On a free account a party has room for 2 friends on camera, for 2 hours a day. The clock only runs while at least one friend is on camera, so waiting for friends to join costs nothing. The People tab of the Party panel shows how much time is left today, you get a heads-up five minutes before the end, and the time comes back with the daily reset.

With VIP a party has room for 6 friends and no time limit. VIP parties were stopping at three friends before, and that is fixed.

The buttons under the video are sorted by what they are about, with a thin line between each group, so you can find one without hovering over each in turn.

• This stranger: last connections, Face Analyze and Connection
• Your camera: Face Swap, the media deck and your phone
• Friends: Party and Spectator Mode
• Your screen: streamer mode and layout presets
• Settings closes the bar on its own, and it stays lit while the settings window is open

The bar always stays on one line. In a smaller window it gets more compact instead of breaking onto a second row.

The overlay no longer works out a device fingerprint before it signs in. Sign-in has been tied to your network since 9 October and the server stopped reading the fingerprint then, so the check only held up every page load. The Device line is gone from Diagnostics for the same reason.

Signing up now needs a Discord account that is at least 90 days old, up from 30. It keeps throwaway accounts out of the site and the Discord server. If you already have an account here, nothing changes: you keep signing in as before, and you can rejoin the Discord server if you left it.

The running log of each call (IP captured, querying, analysis results, why a stranger was skipped) no longer stacks up as cards over the video. It now has its own Debug Logs tab next to Stranger and OME.UNDFND in the chat column, with timestamps, colours for warnings and errors, and buttons to copy or clear it.

Messages about something you just did, like a saved preset, and anything that went wrong still pop up as before. The tab follows the Live logs switch in Settings.

• Opening the link from Verify in #verify could show the verification form with an empty picture, and asking for a new one sent you back to Discord for another link. The picture now loads, and the link stays open for its full 10 minutes.
• If a picture still fails to load, the page fetches a new one by itself, and tells you plainly when it needs you to press the arrows.
• Verifying now needs your VPN or proxy switched off for that one step, iCloud Private Relay and Cloudflare WARP included. The page says so if one is on, and keeps your picture and answer so you can send them again.

On the affiliate stream banner, the lookup total and the member and online counts no longer start over from zero each time a new number comes in. They now roll on from the number already on screen, so viewers see the total climb as people search. A very large total also shrinks to fit instead of running off the card.

• The country on the how it works card no longer changes halfway through the scene.
• Lookups that came in while the globe was still loading now light up their country too.

• When your other browser drops out of a Spectator bridge after its picture had already frozen, this browser now keeps waiting for it to come back, as it does for any other drop out. It used to end the session early.
• Pressing Stop straight after Start no longer leaves the next session showing your other browser as already connecting.

Sounds you saved on the soundboard are no longer written to your browser's storage again every time ome.tv loads, so the page has less to do at the start when you keep large sounds.

• When the daily reset lands while a lookup is running, the overlay now signs itself back in quietly. Some members were asked to generate a new script even though the overlay had already reconnected.
• When you meet another member, a wave they send now shows up over the video every time. It used to be missed when your lookup finished before their member card appeared.
• A phone that reconnects while its call to your computer is still being set up no longer drops back to the pairing code, where it stopped retrying.
• On a slow connection, a setting you change while the previous change is still saving is no longer lost and put back the next time the page loads.
• When your block list is full, blocking someone now says so instead of asking you to try again.
• Rating a past stranger from Last connections shows the XP it earns straight away, the same as rating the stranger on screen.
• An automation that blocks someone no longer stops to ask on every match, and only reports a block when one happened.
• An automation is no longer switched off as broken because you skipped strangers while it was waiting.
• An automation that fails to delete now says so and stays in your list, and a new one keeps its place at the end of the list after a reload.

• Voting on another member's note while you are writing your own no longer wipes what you have typed.
• The note form now counts characters the way saving does. A note with angle brackets in it, like a >_<, could be shown as long enough and then be refused.
• Unblocking someone straight after opening your block list no longer puts them back on it a moment later, and they are no longer skipped as blocked.
• When you search for a place in the location correction form, the search box keeps your typing when the results appear instead of letting go of it.

The bot badge on the IP line, and the automatic bot skip, were catching real people far too often: someone whose camera went black, someone sitting still, a picture that froze on a slow connection, or an ordinary room behind someone. None of those count as a bot any more, and addresses that were wrongly marked lose the badge.

• The time beside each chat message, like "3m ago", is now written in the language you use the overlay in.
• Large numbers on the widget are grouped the way your language writes them.
• Hovering the level ring or the XP bar on the widget now shows your current level and XP. Both kept the numbers from when the page loaded.
• The Discord tooltip on the widget now shows the current online and member counts. It kept the figures from when the page loaded, which could be zero for the whole session, and labelled them in English.

The One-key note starter and the automation block that wrote notes are gone. They posted the same sentence, with no picture, about whoever happened to be on screen, which made notes less useful for everyone. Notes are written by hand from the notes panel, with the picture of who you met.

Automations you already saved still open and run. A note step inside one shows as an unknown block and does nothing.

Affiliates can now pick the language of their stream banner in the dashboard: English, Polski, Deutsch, Français, Español, Nederlands, Română, Čeština or Latviešu. Every line switches over, including code drops, wins and your code plug, and OBS picks up the change without a refresh.

• Between drops the banner now works as an animated ad for the extension. A globe lights up with the lookups people are running right now, a short scene plays out how a lookup works on a real call, and every feature gets its own little animation.
• The numbers on it are live and update by themselves: lookups served, members, and how many people are using it right now.

Every Chrome Web Store update waits for Google to review it, so it reaches the extension hours after we ship it. The Script tab in your dashboard now shows which overlay the store has and which one the legacy script has, and lists what is new when the store is a step behind.

If you want those features right away, the legacy script carries them at once, and the Script tab shows how to keep it and the extension from colliding on ome.tv. Staying on the store version is always fine, and from its next update the extension also tells you on ome.tv when a newer overlay is out.

When the phone camera, a Party guest or Spectator gets stuck on connecting, drops or freezes, the panel now says what most likely went wrong and what to try. It can spot a VPN or WebRTC blocker that stops direct connections, two browsers on one computer that cannot find each other, a network that blocks our relay, and an unstable connection to our server.

Each of those panels, and the phone page itself, has a Copy diagnostics button. It copies a short report of what the connection did, with no addresses or invite codes in it. Open a ticket on our Discord, pick Phone, Party or Spectator will not connect, and paste it there.

The 600 welcome lookups are added the first time you set up the Chrome extension, once per account and once per browser. The legacy script still gets 100 lookups a day, and if you add the extension later, the welcome lookups arrive then.

Rewards top-ups now also work for accounts that run on the daily lookups alone, instead of asking you to generate your script first.

When you match with another member and press Wave, they now see it right away: a waving hand pops up over your video on their screen with your name and a Wave back button. You see your own wave go out the same way. It still arrives as a notification on the site too, for anyone who skipped before it landed.

Verifying your account starts in the #verify channel on our Discord server. Press Verify and the bot sends you a private link that only works for your account, once, for 10 minutes. It opens the verification page, where a security check and the code from a picture unlock your dashboard. Hard to read? Ask for a new picture.

If Discord shows you the server rules screen, accept it first, then press Verify. Any page that needs a verified account shows you these steps, so you always know what is left.

The OME.UNDFND pin on the affiliate stream banner is now a 3D marker that keeps turning. It spins up when a code drops, hops when someone wins, and nods when your code plug slides in.

• Every screen has new motion: tiles fall in and spin, badges stamp down, the winner's name bounces in letter by letter and sparks fly out of the pin.
• Dropped codes now land in a new hand-set style with a light shimmer, still easy to read at a glance.
• New case and promo codes skip characters that look alike, so there is no more guessing between 0 and O or 1 and I.

When the overlay looks up a stranger's address, the answer is now only kept for a short while to make repeat lookups fast: up to 12 hours in server memory and up to 30 days in our cache, then it is deleted. Nothing about the addresses you meet is written to our database any more, and the older stored answers are being removed.

The privacy policy says the same.

A Litecoin top-up now credits after 2 network confirmations instead of 3. That is one fewer block to wait for, which matters most on nights when the Litecoin network is slow.

An open crypto top-up now shows where your payment is: waiting for it, seen on the network, confirming (for example 1 of 2), or being checked by our team. A timer shows how long the order has been open and when we next check, and the window switches to Credited on its own once the money lands.

• Litecoin and Bitcoin payments are picked up sooner, because we check the network more often
• Your recharge history shows the same live status next to each open order
• A crypto or BLIK code top-up with no payment for 2 hours now closes itself as "Timed out, closed automatically", so a forgotten order no longer stops you from starting a new one

When ome.tv matches you with another OME.UNDFND member, their card now shows the same level and season tier their own profile does. Before, it often showed a lower level that only counted their talk time and lookups.

The lookup counter on the home page could stop for half a minute or more at a time, even while lookups were coming in. It now climbs steadily with every lookup again.

The overlay no longer refuses to start with Browser fingerprint mismatch or Browser has changed. Brave, Avira and other browsers with fingerprint protection work with their privacy settings left on, so there is no need to turn Brave Shields off any more, and a browser update no longer signs you out.

Your sign-in is still tied to the network you set it up on. If you switch a VPN on or off, or move to another connection, the extension renews it by itself on the next load.

There is a new Free rewards tab under Play on your dashboard. Each sponsor page is a few quick tasks, like trying an app or answering a survey, and every one of them pays out:

• Daily lookups: one sponsor page for 500 extra lookups, once every 24 hours. They never expire
• Quick top-up: ran out of lookups? One sponsor page gives you 100 more on the spot
• Sponsor case: 2 sponsor pages in a day unlock a free Trial case in Daily missions
• VIP day: every sponsor page counts, and 5 in a week earn 24 hours of VIP
• Reward streak: take the daily lookups 7 days in a row and day 7 adds 24 hours of VIP
• Community goal: when everyone together reaches the weekly goal, the daily lookups pay double for the rest of the week

The tab also links every other free reward, from the daily case to the season pass. VIP accounts never see sponsor pages or ads.

The camera's picture and video inputs are now a media deck: eight slots, and each one holds a picture or a video. With VIP, press Alt+Shift+1 to Alt+Shift+8 to show a slot to the person you are talking to, and press the same key again to go back to your camera.

• A new Media deck button on the control bar (or Alt+Shift+M) opens a small panel with a thumbnail of every slot, so you can switch with a click and always see what is on air
• Drop a file on a slot to fill it. Loading a file no longer puts it on screen by itself
• Videos start from the beginning each time you switch to them
• Every slot key can be changed on the Shortcuts tab, and there are optional keys for the next and previous slot
• The video and picture you had set up before are already waiting in the first slots

Removing a person's background in a party tile (Cut out) now takes about 40% less work for each picture it checks. On slower computers it also keeps itself to a fair share of the processor, refreshing the outline a little less often instead of making your whole camera stutter for the stranger.

When your free lookups run out, the card on ome.tv now offers a free top-up next to VIP: one sponsor page on the Rewards tab and more lookups land on your account. Come back to ome.tv and the overlay picks them up by itself within a minute, no reload needed.

The lookup counter now says Extra lookups left while you spend welcome and reward lookups, since both come out of the same pot.

Face Swap's models are the largest thing the overlay loads, and once started they stayed in memory until you closed the tab, even with the swap switched off. Now they are let go when Face Swap has been off for five minutes, which frees several hundred megabytes on your computer and graphics card.

Switching it back on within those five minutes is instant, as before. After that it takes a few seconds while the models load from your computer again, with nothing downloaded.

The setup guide that opens the first time you use the overlay is easier to follow. It now starts by showing how a chat with the overlay works in three steps, and ends with your first chat step by step, including whether lookups will happen on their own or with the Check button.

• The Next and Back buttons stay in the same place on every screen.
• Each change you make shows a short Saved note, so you know it stuck without looking for a save button.
• Pictures sit next to the text, so the settings on each screen are visible without scrolling.
• Every step in the list has its own icon, and the guide tells you up front it takes about two minutes.

The affiliate banner in OBS stays readable when it is scaled down in a stream layout. All text is larger and brighter, and the grey lines that faded into the stream are now near white.

• A slow moving contour map glows behind the banner in the colour of the moment: blue while idle, the case colour on a drop, the prize colour on a win
• Case drops show the case itself next to the code
• Your affiliate code plug has a bigger code and discount, with a coloured edge

• Changing Cancel echo, Reduce background noise or Automatic level in the middle of a call no longer leaves the stranger hearing silence while a voice mask, the soundboard or a party is running. The same silence could follow your phone's microphone joining or leaving the call, and that is fixed too.
• With the phone's sound set to Headset, a newly paired phone now hears the call straight away. It used to hear nothing until you switched to another mode and back, and it could go quiet again after the connection dropped and came back.

When our server was slow to answer a lookup for the stranger on screen (location, network, VPN, or the check for another member on the same call), the info panel could keep loading until you pressed Next. Those lookups now give up after a short wait and try again on their own. If the location lookup still gets no answer, the panel says the request timed out instead of loading forever.

• In Spectator, the browser window that sat behind the other one often showed its stranger the other person blurred, as if they had frozen, even though they were still there. The relayed picture now stays live and sharp while the window is in the background.
• In a Party, guests stay on the stranger's screen when the host switches to another tab, instead of their tiles going black after a few seconds.

With Skip black screens or Skip if no face on, waiting for a match in another tab could skip every stranger as a black camera, so the alert that someone is waiting never had anyone to tell you about. The overlay now sees the stranger's picture even when its tab is not the one in front, and only skips the people your rules are meant to skip.

Sharpen the stranger's video never actually turned on while you were talking to someone: the setting stayed on and its status said it was waiting for a stranger. It now sharpens the stranger's picture as soon as they are on screen, and stops between strangers as it was meant to. In a window that crops the video, the sharpened picture also stays inside the video now instead of spilling over your own camera.

When your browser refused to store a picture, video or sound for next time (usually because it ran out of space for this site), the media deck and the soundboard could still show it as saved, and it was gone after a reload. They now tell you it will not be kept.

Rating a stranger's internet provider used to run their whole lookup again just to show the new score. That counted them twice in your session recap, could run your own automations a second time, and could even apply your auto-skip rules to the person you had just rated. Now only the ratings are refreshed, and the new score appears straight away.

The Discord announcements channel kept posting "Dashboard Outage" and then "Services Restored" a few minutes later, again and again, while the site was working fine. An outage is now only announced after it has been confirmed several times in a row, so a single slow check no longer sets off an alert, and each alert is posted once instead of twice.

If you turned on Mute microphone, Push to talk, a Voice mask or a different Microphone level before a call started, the next stranger could hear your normal microphone until you touched one of those controls again. These settings now apply to every new call the moment it begins.

Camera effects such as the privacy mask also take over the picture as soon as a call is set up, rather than a moment after it connects.

Putting a new picture or video into a Media deck slot no longer empties the slot first. If the new file cannot be played, the one you had stays in place. If the slot you replace is the one on air, the stranger keeps seeing it until the new file is ready, instead of a frozen frame and then black.

The Chrome Web Store extension used to keep running the old overlay after a new version had already downloaded, often until you restarted the browser. Now it moves to the new version on its own.

• With no ome.tv tab open, it updates straight away.
• If ome.tv is open, a small card asks you to update. Press Update now and ome.tv reloads on the new version, or press Later and it updates when you close the tab or open ome.tv again.
• The Update now button in the extension menu shows up whenever a new version is waiting.

With a camera effect or any picture adjustment switched on (a blur, the privacy mask, mirroring, zoom and the rest), a typical 30 frames per second webcam reached the stranger at only 15 frames per second, half of what was intended. It now goes out at the full rate the overlay aims for, so movement looks as smooth as it should.

With a camera effect or picture adjustment on, switching to another tab during a call left the stranger with a picture that updated about once a second. Your browser stops drawing a tab you are not looking at, and the effect was waiting on it. Now the effect keeps the picture going at close to its normal rate while you are elsewhere.

The home page now shows the Extension 2.0 trailer right under the opening. A short silent preview plays in the frame as you scroll to it, and Watch the trailer starts the full film with sound without leaving the page. Nothing loads from YouTube until you press it.

Every case opening can now be watched again. Press play on a row in your opening log, or on any drop in Live drops, and the opening replays with the same reel, the same landing and the same timing it had the first time.

• Live drops can be sorted by Rarest, so the big pulls come first, and narrowed to the last 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days, or to one case. The list is paged, and a summary shows how many of each drop landed in that time.
• The opening log fits its panel at every width. No more scrolling sideways to read a result.
• Your seed panel only offers Reveal and rotate once something was opened on the pair. Before that, the button just sets a new client seed, so your list of revealed pairs no longer fills up with empty ones.

While a voice mask is on, a small badge at the bottom of the screen names it, for example Voice: Robot. The mask stays on after a reload, so the badge is there to remind you before you talk to anyone. If your microphone is muted at the same time, the two badges stack.

The overlay does far less work in the background now, so ome.tv stays smoother on older PCs and laptops run cooler, whether you are idle, searching or in a call.

• The globe turns for a fraction of the work it used to, and holds still while it is faded out.
• Flying down to each stranger's location takes about half the work.
• With the map switched off, the globe no longer flies to each stranger's location out of sight. It is on their city when you switch it back on.
• The location pin pings a few times when the globe lands, then rests, instead of pinging for the whole call.
• The small live dots and badges no longer make your graphics card redraw the whole page on every frame.
• Interface sounds let your audio device rest between cues instead of keeping it busy for the rest of the session.

The banner affiliates add to OBS has a new look. Dropped codes land in clear tiles that stay readable when the banner is scaled down, and every screen ends on the address viewers need to visit.

• Your affiliate code now shows in full at every plug size, and the headline no longer shows through it
• Win screens name the case, the prize and its rarity

After Reset all settings, the stranger could still hear your old voice mask and microphone settings even though every switch showed them off. Your microphone now goes back to normal the moment you reset.

Pressing Let in on a guest who was waiting did nothing: they flickered and went back to waiting. Let in now puts them in the first empty tile, and adds a tile when every tile is taken. With all four tiles full, the console tells you to free one first.

• You get a notice when somebody is waiting to join while the Party panel is closed.
• A guest who is let in but has not pressed Send yet now shows as Not sent yet in your console, with a note asking them to press it. Before, the row said On camera while nobody could see them.
• On the guest's screen, the line above Send now says plainly that they are in and need to press Send.
• When a guest's tile is black because they covered their camera or put their page in the background, your console now says which.
• A guest who is let in and taken straight back off is now told so, with what to ask the host, instead of the page quietly going back to waiting.

• Set up checks your browser, the extension, your Discord sign-in and verification as you go, and tells you the next step.
• Service status shows whether the site, IP lookups and Discord sign-in are working, checked every minute.
• Contact lists every way to reach us, including email for privacy and business questions.
• Features has a page for each thing the overlay does, each with the real overlay running on a made-up call.
• This changelog, with an RSS feed.

You can now add the extension with one click from the Chrome Web Store. It updates itself, so there is no folder to unzip and nothing to reload by hand. The setup page walks you through the rest.

• The toolbar popup fits on screen, with its main button at the top.
• The startup card says which step is slow and how long a normal start takes on your computer.
• The install button on your dashboard opens the Chrome Web Store listing instead of downloading a zip file.
• The FAQ, the guides, What it can reach and the welcome message in Discord now describe the Chrome Web Store version. If you still have the old zip version, remove it and add the store version. The safety page explains what changed.

The Case Terminal has a new look: the OME secure container, a cinematic stage and a rarity reveal. Openings can be sped up with Fast mode, skipped with a tap, or run several in a row with Auto open.

• An empty case now pays shards, which you can save up and trade for VIP time.
• Two daily missions, one for lookups and one for talk time, each pay a free Trial case.
• You can set yourself a daily spend limit on paid openings. Lowering it applies at once, raising it waits 24 hours.
• Every opening can be checked on the fairness page, and any drop can be shared with its own page.

Ome.tv no longer needs your full attention between calls.

• When a stranger stays on the call while the ome.tv tab is hidden, the tab title flashes and a sound plays. You can also switch on a silent system notification.
• The next track key on your keyboard skips to the next stranger.
• Picture in picture keeps the stranger's video in a small window with Next, Mute and Stop. Find it in the command palette.
• Chat messages in another language can get a translated line under them. The translation runs on your own computer, in browsers that have a built in translator, and it is off until you turn it on.

• A gender skip now needs two confident reads that agree, and an unclear face is looked at again instead of being skipped.
• A black screen is confirmed with a second frame before anyone is skipped for it.
• The rules never judge a frame left over from the previous stranger.
• When the location service cannot place a city, a "only this city" rule waits instead of skipping everyone.

Change a setting in one ome.tv tab and your other tabs in the same browser pick it up straight away. A second overlay on the same account also stopped undoing your changes.

Automations gained new actions: set your camera effect, mute or unmute your microphone, play a soundboard sound and block the stranger. New triggers fire when Safe View covers a stranger, when a friend joins or leaves your party, and when your phone connects or drops.

Version 2.0.2 of the Chrome Web Store extension makes the toolbar popup tidier and more useful.

• On an ome.tv tab where the overlay is not running yet, the popup shows a Load on this tab button. This helps most when auto-load is turned off.
• Open ome.tv switches to an ome.tv tab you already have open instead of opening a second one that would fight it for your camera.
• The main button now sits right under your status, so you no longer scroll to find it.
• The same reminder no longer fills the activity list. Repeats show once with a count, and the list stays folded until you open it.
• Long labels in some languages no longer stretch the popup sideways.

The first time you open chat you land in the room for your country, or in Global when we cannot tell. Once you pick a room yourself, that choice is remembered.

The chat column was tidied up too: messages from one person in a row are grouped under one name, the time sits next to the name, and the message box looks like ome.tv's own. More messages fit on screen.

• Turning on "Sharpen the stranger's video" now sharpens the picture for every stranger. Before, it stayed on "Waiting for a stranger" and did nothing when the stranger's video was already close to the size of your video area.
• The status row goes back to waiting when the stranger leaves, instead of still showing the last size.

A finished daily mission with a greyed out Claim button now tells you what is still missing, such as the total lookups your account needs before cases pay out.

A new camera rule skips a stranger whose picture stays below a frame rate you choose (5, 10 or 15 frames a second) for five seconds. It only judges the first 30 seconds of a call, so a conversation is never cut off halfway. It is free on every account and costs no lookups.

• The background effect can now do more than blur. Swap the room for a plain colour (a green screen is one of them) or for a picture of your own. Your picture stays in your browser and is never uploaded. Camera effects come with VIP.
• A voice mask makes your voice deeper, higher, robotic or like a walkie talkie. Switch on "Hear my voice" to listen to what the stranger hears (headphones help). A paired phone and your party friends hear the same masked voice.

A camera that starts dark and then shows something explicit is now covered within about a second. Before, it could stay on screen for up to seven.

When the party content check hides a friend's picture, their phone now says so, instead of leaving them talking into a camera the stranger sees as black.

• A paired phone whose connection drops is reconnected automatically, and you no longer have to accept it again in the middle of a call.
• A friend stuck on "Connecting" is retried. After a few tries their row says "Could not connect" with a Try again button.
• The Party and Link panels no longer freeze after you touch a slider.
• A friend you take off the picture is also taken off the call's sound.

• On smaller windows the location map sits beside the info panel instead of covering its buttons.
• The control bar wraps onto a second row instead of running off the video.
• Closing a panel with the keyboard puts focus back on its button.
• IP addresses wrap between their groups instead of mid number, and a note shows its whole subject and date.

Dogecoin (DOGE) joins the crypto payment options. Like the others, you get your own deposit address, the rate is locked when you place the order, and your balance is credited automatically once the payment is confirmed.

The site and the overlay now use one typeface, Geist, at every size. Buttons are a little shorter, panels share one soft light from above, and a handful of small visual bugs are gone, including clipped numbers and buttons that drifted out of their frames.

• The overlay uses roughly half as much processor time when idle. The globe no longer repaints at your monitor's full rate.
• An overlay left open across the daily reset (06:00 Warsaw time) no longer gets your connection blocked.
• A free account that ran out of lookups gets them back at the reset without reloading the page.
• A short burst of rate limiting no longer locks a free account out for the rest of the day.
• If you buy VIP while ome.tv is open, the overlay notices and offers a one click reload.

A friend's camera goes out through your ome.tv session, so anything they show counts against you. Every friend's picture now starts covered and is shown once it has passed two checks. If something explicit appears, it is covered again and you get a popup naming the friend. The check runs on your own computer.

The background blur used to keep an oval around your face sharp. Switch on "Follow my outline" and it keeps your whole outline sharp instead, so raised hands, hair and leaning stay in focus. The first use downloads the model once (about 12 MB). Camera effects come with VIP.

• A party no longer closes itself an hour after it starts.
• Refusing a phone revokes it and shows a fresh code straight away.
• On the phone page, a refused join is said at once and Stop stays stopped. Small text is easier to read.
• Copy buttons across the site now say so when the browser refuses to copy.

The blog has an RSS feed at /blog/rss.xml, and new posts answer the questions we get most: using Ome.tv with friends, the jumpscare prank, Ome.tv on PC, when Ome.tv is not working and fixing the camera.

If your account is still waiting on Discord, the dashboard now names the exact step you are stuck on: accepting the server rules, rejoining the server, or pressing Verify in #verify. The welcome message in Discord opens with the same step and a button straight to #verify.
