The video introduces Trovo's new goal widget, a semi-transparent overlay on streams (0:03). This widget is visible to everyone streaming on Trovo (0:17).
Here's a breakdown of its features and how it compares to Twitch:
Trovo Goal Widget Overview:
Placement: Streamers can move the widget to the left or right side of the screen (1:20), but not the middle, to avoid obstructing gameplay or camera views (1:01). It appears when a viewer hovers their mouse over the player (1:14).
Editing Goals: To access the editing page, click the button between "cast spell" and "treasure boxes" on your Trovo streaming page (1:43). From there, you can edit your goals (1:55).
Goal Types: You can set up follower goals, spell goals, elixir points, or subscription goals (2:05). You can even have all four active simultaneously (2:11).
Visibility to Viewers: The widget is only visible to viewers if a goal is actively set up (5:55). If no goal is set, viewers will not see it (5:57).
Viewer Interaction: When a goal is displayed, viewers can click on it to directly follow the channel, open the spell window, or access elixir and subscription options (6:20). This makes it easier for viewers to support the streamer in achieving their goals (6:52).
Opt-Out vs. Opt-In:
The presenter notes that Trovo's widget is opt-out (2:58), meaning it's automatically on your stream, which they believe should have been an opt-in feature (3:09).
Removing the Widget:
To remove the widget, go into "edit goals," click on the open goal, and select "end goal" (3:28). This will clear the goal from your stream (3:41).
Trovo vs. Twitch Goal Widgets:
Twitch: Twitch's goal widget is a browser source that needs to be copied and pasted into streaming software like OBS (4:44). This can consume computer resources and affect stream quality, especially with many browser sources (5:05). Twitch currently only offers subscriber and follower goals (4:20).
Trovo: Trovo's widget is built directly into the platform's player (5:26), eliminating the need for browser sources. This means it doesn't consume additional computer resources, potentially leading to better stream performance (5:38).
