Starting today, you’ll be able to create and test component extensions, which are overlays that cover a smaller portion of the video player and enable viewers to locally control visibility of them. This will enable streamers to activate up to three video extensions at a time (in addition to three panel extensions on their channel page), creating even more opportunities for them to use your extensions.
After configuration, activate your Extension in the Extension Manager from the “My Extensions” tab. Extensions will not show on your channel page until activated. To activate an Extension you will need to be on the “My Extensions” tab on the Extension Manager page.
From the “My Extensions” tab, you will see an “Activate” button under the respective Extension. Simply click this and you will prompted to set it under a slot.
The maximum number of Extensions you may have active at a time is limited to 3 Panel Extensions, 1 Overlay Extension, and 2 Component Extensions (for a total of 6 Extensions).
