Hello, I have searched through the forum and it seems like for the moment it is impossible to update the panels under the stream via the API. Is there any news from the developers about that ? Will this feature be implemented in the future or am I waiting for something that will never come ? Thanks a lot for your answer šŸ˜¶ ---

I wish! This would allow third parties to at least update a panel for channels. This was requested back in 2012, and thereā€™s been no progress unfortunately: [https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API/issues/37](https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API/issues/37) ---

Thanks for your replies, Iā€™m asking this because during ā€œThe International 5ā€ a Dota 2 event organized by Valve. The panels were updated after the beginning of the game with the portraits and the skills of the heroes chosen for that match. But I guess it was done ā€œmanuallyā€ ā˜¹ itā€™s kinda sad. A friend of mine told me Riot has done the same with League of Legends during the WCS for example. There is plenty of cool things to think about with this kind of stuff ! I hope we will be able to have an answer from the devā€™ team šŸ˜‹ ---

Twitch has custom auto-updating panels for large events, but I have no idea when/if they will ever open up that to all channels. I believe those custom panels render raw HTML, which I donā€™t think Twitch would ever allow for ordinary panels. ---

Ok I wasnā€™t aware of that. Thatā€™s a nice information. Well that topic doesnā€™t seems to draw a lot of attention so I suppose no answer from the Twitch people is like an answer after all šŸ˜• ---

I agree that this would be a cool feature, and Iā€™d personally like to support it in the future, but have no idea when itā€™d happen. ---
