Changelog

v1.7.0Latest
September 2026

YouTube streamers are found again

Streamer detection

  • YouTube streamers are found again

    YouTube changed the way it lists live channels and StreamScope stopped seeing them. It now reads the new layout, finds channels through their videos as well, and matches @handles.

  • Unsure matches are marked

    Streams that are a close guess rather than a certain match now show a question mark: white when the match is likely, orange when it is only a guess.

  • Sharper YouTube matching

    YouTube matches are judged on the channel's @handle too, so real matches are marked as certain more often, and channels with non-Latin handles are read correctly.

Improved & fixed

  • Cookie notice no longer hides results

    YouTube results are no longer blocked by the cookie notice shown in Europe.

  • No more stuck searching

    A player no longer stays stuck on "searching" if one of their results fails to load.

  • Accurate viewer counts

    Viewer counts are rounded properly, so 1.9K no longer shows as 1K.

v1.6.0

September 2026

Sharper name reading and fewer false matches

New

  • Friend colors

    Pick a color per friend, and their name and icon show in that color in the players list. Custom streamers get a tinted row.

  • Test Searching explains itself

    See how any name is read, what gets dropped, and why a name is skipped.

  • Exact match history

    "Last match" now groups players by the actual match, and lists are sorted alphabetically.

Streamer detection

  • Smarter name reading

    Stylized fonts, look-alike letters, invisible characters, leet spellings, glued clan tags and xX_name_Xx wrappers are all seen through. Only whole words are searched, so more streamers are found with fewer junk lookups.

  • Fewer false matches

    Big channels that only loosely resemble a name are no longer mistaken for that player.

  • Better Twitch coverage

    4-character names get an exact-name lookup, and tag misspellings like twtch and twitchtv are recognized.

Improved & fixed

  • Settings survive a mid-save close

    Settings, license key and credentials can no longer be lost if the app closes while saving.

  • Works without an audio device

    StreamScope now runs on PCs that have no working audio device.

  • Adapter restarts properly

    The adapter is restarted correctly if it fails to become ready.

  • Lower overlay CPU use

    The overlay uses less CPU during matches.

  • Damaged history no longer blocks startup

    A damaged player history database no longer stops the app from starting.

  • Twitch tries the next candidate

    When the best Twitch match just went offline, the next candidate is checked instead.

  • Small fixes

    Fixed several small bugs.

v1.5.0

June 2026

Our biggest update yet

New

  • Kick.com supportKick logo

    Connect your Kick account and spot Kick streamers in your lobby, right alongside Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok.

  • Early match alert

    StreamScope detects a match a few seconds early and warns you with a sound, giving you time to back out if you want a different lobby.

  • Queue-sniping match ID

    A new Advanced tab shows your match's unique ID, even full screen, so you and a teammate can confirm you're landing in the same lobby.

For streamers

  • Skip teammates

    Keep your own team out of searches so StreamScope only looks up the enemies you actually want to find.

  • Global sound toggle

    Turn every gameplay alert on or off in one place, so you can run StreamScope completely silently on stream.

Improved & fixed

  • Enemy streamers stay visible all match

    Fixed a Battle Royale bug where the player board cleared after the bus dropped. Flagged by the community and patched quickly.

  • Smarter nickname matching

    Stylized and lookalike names, including Cyrillic and Greek characters, are recognized more accurately.

  • Faster lists

    Friends and Custom Streamers load quicker, Player History is cleaner, plus various small fixes.

  • Better in-app links

    Updates and help pages now open more reliably straight from the app.

Improved & fixed

  • More reliable startup

    StreamScope connects more dependably and gives clearer messages when something goes wrong.

  • Smoother lists

    Friends and Custom Streamers are faster to load, edit, and refresh, with better nickname matching for unusual names.
