New features have been added to the live experience to improve both the creator's control and the viewer's experience:
- Co-streaming Support: Hosts can invite other users to join the broadcast as co-streamers. This supports collaborative formats such as interviews, panel discussions, and guest appearances.
- Real-time Chat Moderation: Manage livestream conversations as they happen. Moderation capabilities are integrated into both the Console and UIKit.
- Real-time Analytics: A "Watching Now" viewer count is visible to both hosts and viewers, providing an immediate metric of current engagement and momentum.

Discovery and Visibility
To increase engagement, we have introduced UI components designed to highlight active content:
- 'Live Now' Rings: When a user or community is broadcasting, a story-style "Live Now" ring will appear around their profile icon or avatar.
- Instant Access: These rings act as direct entry points, allowing users to join the livestream immediately upon clicking.
