Update 13.01: New viewer notification

Added a new viewer notification feature.
Designed for streamers who want to notice every new viewer joining chat.

Plays a short audio notification once per stream per new viewer.

Disabled by default.
Disabled for existing users.

Will not trigger for:
- broadcaster messages
- known commercial bots
- ignored users

Update 29.01: Channel AI Images gallery

Added a gallery for Channel AI Images.

This was a user-requested feature, as the bot sometimes generates images that can be used as Twitch emotes.

The gallery shows AI-generated images created by you or moderators using @lingo_echo pls / @lingo_echo please in your channel.

Streamers can download or delete images directly from the gallery.

Update 02.02: Auto shoutouts expanded

Auto shoutouts have been expanded and now allow up to 20 usernames to be added to the list.

Due to the popularity of this feature, the previous limit of 5 has been increased.

Each person on the list will receive one shoutout per stream when they first send a message in chat.
If the overlay is installed, their channel’s latest clip will be displayed.

_______________________

Channel AI Images updated.

Clicking on an image icon will again display the image on stream for 30 seconds.

Update 25.02: Discord implementation

Discord support is now available.

You can now connect Lingo Echo to your Discord server and have messages translated there, just like on Twitch.

Click Connect with Discord in your dashboard to add the bot to your server.
Click Disconnect to disable Discord access - the bot will leave your server.

Chat mode is also supported:
Start a message with @lingo_echo to talk to the bot, and you can reply to the bot’s messages to continue the conversation.

Note: This is an early beta of the Discord version of Lingo Echo. It will probably change in the future. You may need to disconnect and reconnect the Discord bot in the future to benefit from new features.

Update 27.06: Misc

Mini-games can now not be triggered until the Lingo Echo overlay has been added in your streaming software. This was confusing for first-time users because the game would run in chat, but they did not have the overlay installed to see it.

Added a slider underneath the Christmas tree element. This allows the streamer to move the tree wherever it best suits their setup. Last Christmas, this caused issues for some users and made this element unusable for them.

Update 29.06: Misc

Giveaway Manager now shows the total number of entries and a timer showing how long the giveaway has been open. A new "Cancel Giveaway" feature has been added. This allows you to close the giveaway without drawing anyone. Previously, users had to clear the list and then close the giveaway to get the same effect.
