Just dropped a new feature we call "pre-live". Here's how it works: livestreams can START and END now. When you first start streaming with OBS, you'll be able to see your stream and make sure it looks nice before broadcasting to the whole world. When you're ready to go, hit "Start Livestream!"

When you're done, the "End Livestream" button takes you back to pre-live. If you forget, don't worry: the "End livestream automatically" checkbox ends the stream automatically if you haven't streamed from OBS for 5 min. That way your previous stream ends and you'll be pre-live again next time!

A note for our beloved 24/7 livestreamers: y'all will probably want to UNcheck the "End livestream automatically" box. If you don't, and your internet goes down for five minutes, your stream will go back to pre-live until you manually click "Start Livestream" again. Probably not what you want!
