Public access#
Overlay URLs and player input links do not require any role or account. They are public links that work for anyone. Co-streamer roles only apply to the dashboard interface.
Changing roles#
The match owner can change any team member's role from the match team panel. Select the member, choose the new role, and the change takes effect immediately.
Removing members#
The match owner can remove any team member from the match. Removed members lose dashboard access immediately but can be re-invited later.
