What's new

Everything we ship, as we ship it. Frenz updates roll out continuously, so check back often.

August 26, 2026

Bot and webhook docs you can actually find. There is now a page at frenz.gg/docs/bots that covers what a bot token can do, how to check a webhook signature, and why an outside bot cannot moderate your chat. Both panels where you make one link straight to it. Asked for by nmc.

August 25, 2026

Collab teams. Monetized creators can build a team of up to five people and send files between them, up to 10 GB each, so raw footage gets to your editor without a third party in the middle. Files sit there for two weeks and then go. Whoever you add does not have to be a creator themselves.
Drag somebody into another voice channel. Community owners and admins can pick a name up out of one voice channel and drop it on another, and that person moves. Handy for splitting a full room into teams without asking everyone to click.
Give someone your chat to watch. Pick moderators in Creator studio and they can delete lines and hand out timeouts while you are live, straight from the chat. That is all they can do, and you can take it back any time.
Timeouts stick. Someone you time out stays timed out across your streams, not just tonight's, and the list of who is still shut out sits in Creator studio so you can let them back in.
One feed instead of two. For You now opens with what is new from the people you follow, then keeps going with clips for your games and everything else. Following is gone as a separate tab because it was the same list, cut short.
The feed stops showing you the same clip twice. Anything you have already watched moves to the bottom, so opening Frenz leads with what you have not seen yet. When you are properly caught up it comes back round to what you saw longest ago instead of running out.
Add a whole folder of emotes in one go. Drag the images onto the emotes panel in Creator studio and each file names its own emote, so cool-cat.png becomes :coolcat:. Adding twenty emotes used to mean typing twenty codes.
Channel settings now look like your sidebar. Channels sit under the category they belong to, you can drag one into another category, and every channel has a delete button. Before this the categories and the channels were two separate lists and nothing told you which went with which.
Premium+ costs the difference if your Premium is free. The first thousand accounts were given a year of Premium. Paying the full price for Premium+ on top of that is paying twice for the half you already hold, so while your free year runs Premium+ is €4 a month instead of €9.99. The page tells you the date your free year ends, and from the renewal after that it goes to €9.99, the same as everybody pays. Monthly only, because a year bought today would outlast the free year underneath it.

August 24, 2026

Replace your stream key if it gets out. A stream key is a password, and it is one you have on screen while you set OBS up, so it ends up in screenshots and on stream more often than anything else you own. Anybody holding it could go live on your channel, under your name. There is now a Replace it button on the OBS page, both before you start and in the console while you are live. The old key stops working the moment you press it, and you get a new one to paste in. If you are streaming at the time, that stream ends, because it is arriving through the key you are replacing.

August 23, 2026

The monthly competitions show the prize and the way in, not the scoreboard. Who is leading is hidden until the winners are decided on the 1st, so nobody has to look at a race they think they have already lost. Clip of the Month has a button to post a clip, and the squad board hands you your invite link on the spot instead of telling you where to go and find it. Same on the phone, where the Leaderboard entry under More is now Competitions.
Second and third place are worth more. Second is three months of Premium+ and third is one month of Premium+. Third used to be plain Premium, which nearly everybody here already has, so the bottom of the podium was worth nothing to the people most likely to reach it.
What's new has two tabs: New and Fixed. Everything shipped used to sit in one long list, and since most of the work is fixing things, the fixes buried the rest and nobody could see either clearly. Pick a tab and you get only that, with the count on it. All 568 entries going back to launch are sorted, so you can scroll the whole history of either one.
Get closer to a picture. Opening an image filled the window with it and stopped there, which is fine for a photo and useless for a screenshot: the whole thing on screen and the text in it too small to make out. Pinch to zoom on a phone, scroll or double click on a computer, drag to move around, and double tap to go back to the fit. Whatever is under your finger stays under it, and there are buttons for it too.
Choose the key that saves a clip. F9 and F10 were the only options, and a 60% keyboard has no function row at all, so the one key the whole feature hangs off was a key some people cannot comfortably press. Both are yours to pick now, next to the clip length, and Frenz tells you if another program already owns the key you chose. Arrives with the next desktop update.

August 21, 2026

Frenz asks who you played with, right when you post a clip. Tagging your squad used to mean posting first, finding the clip again and scrolling past the video to a panel almost nobody reached. It is a question on the upload page now, above the button. Tag someone and the clip lands on their profile and in front of their frenz too.
Tag someone who is not on Frenz yet. Type their name, and if there is no account you still get to tag them. You get a link to send them, and opening it puts the clip straight onto a profile that already has something on it. Their name shows on the clip either way, so the squad is complete.
Tag the whole channel with @everyone or @here. The owner and the admins of a community can now reach everybody at once: @everyone tells every member, @here only the people who are online right now. Type an @ in a community chat and both sit at the top of the list, above the people. Anybody else writing those words is writing words, and nobody's phone goes off. Whoever gets one is told which of the two it was, and tapping it opens the message it came from.
A comment can be as long as what you actually wanted to say. Five hundred characters was a cut, not a limit: people ran into it writing an ordinary answer. It is eight times that now, and the box you write in is a proper box that grows as you type instead of a single line you scroll sideways through. Enter still sends, shift and enter starts a new line.
A long comment is folded, with a more to open it. It shows a few lines and the rest is one tap away, the way it is everywhere else. Nothing is lost, and a wall of text does not bury the replies under it.

August 20, 2026

Taking your old name back is free once, whenever you get round to it. Change your handle and the old one stays yours for a month, and going back to it does not wait and does not cost you your next change. There is one of those per account: after you have used it, changing your handle waits the usual thirty days, take-backs included. Earlier today this was a one day deadline instead, which turned noticing your own typo into a race.
The guidelines say how fast we act on a report. Reporting something told you nothing about what happens next. The community guidelines now spell it out: anything involving a child, a credible threat or someone at risk gets looked at within 24 hours, everything else within three days, and there are three ways it can end. What blocking someone actually does is written down in the same place.
A bug report is worth €5 from today. It was €10, and at that rate the pot was emptying faster than the bugs coming in were worth. Anything you sent before this went live keeps the €10 it was sent under, whenever we get round to answering it. Everything else about it is the same: no cap on how many you send, and only the first report of a bug pays.
Paste a video into a message, not just a picture. Dropping one in or picking it from your files always worked; pasting one did nothing at all and said nothing about why. Whatever the channel accepts can be pasted now.
Alerts say where you were mentioned, and what was said. "Somebody mentioned you in a community chat" is true of every community you are in, so it told you nothing until you opened it. It names the channel and the community now, and carries the first few words of the message. The one your phone buzzes with says it too.
See when somebody is writing back. A line under the message box says who is typing in the channel you are in. It is not kept anywhere: it appears while they type and goes on its own a few seconds after they stop, so nobody is ever left showing as typing because they closed a tab.
Bold, italics and headings in chat. Wrap a word in \*\*stars\*\* for bold, one star or underscore for italics, tildes to strike it through, backticks to keep it as typed, and start a line with a # and a space for a heading. Something that only looks like formatting stays exactly as you typed it, so a times sign is still a times sign and snake_case is still snake_case.
A half-typed message waits for you. Leaving a channel to look at another one used to throw away whatever you had in the box. It is still there when you come back, per channel, and it stays on your own device.
Sign in with Twitch. The way in was a chat app, a search engine or a password, which is an odd set for a place built around streaming. Twitch is on the sign-in page now, next to the others.
Change the email on your account. It goes in two steps on purpose: the address you use now is asked first, and only once you say yes does the new one get a link to finish it. Nothing moves until both are clicked, so nobody who gets hold of your screen for a minute can walk off with the account.
Room for ten links on your profile. It stopped at five, which is fewer than the places we can link to, so anyone on the usual handful of social sites had no room left for the one that pays them.
Discover filters communities by what they are. Every community now says what kind of place it is: gaming, friends, creator, brand, school, local or other. Pick one on Discover and you get only those, and a clan and a game's official community stop sitting side by side as if they were the same thing. Nothing filtered by category could tell those two apart, because they are about the same game.
And by what they are about, with a search box. The category filter next to it covers all three hundred games and the non-game ones, so it is a box you type into rather than a list you scroll. Type valor and Valorant is there. The two filters narrow together: brand communities about Valorant is a thing you can now ask for.
A new community is asked which kind it is when you make it. One row of choices, before the name is even taken. Everything made before today is Other, and its owner can say otherwise under community settings.
Take back what you said in a stream chat. Now that a stream's chat is still there for whoever turns up next, the things people said stay with it, so anyone can delete a line of their own and the streamer can clear one off their own chat. Every line can be reported too, and the same checks that cover a message in a community now cover these. On the site the buttons sit on the line itself; in the app, hold a line to get them.

August 19, 2026

A role can go on the owner too. Handing somebody a role sat behind the same rule that stops you kicking or banning an owner, so the owner's row had no menu at all and nobody could give the owner a role, including the owner. Roles are not moderation, so they are their own thing now. Kick, ban and time out still stop where they did.
A video stops when you look away, and picks up when you come back. Pull down Control Center, glance at a notification or hold the app switcher, and the clip carried on talking behind it with nothing on screen to stop it. On the site the same thing happened to a whole tab: switch tabs and the clip kept playing out loud. Both stop now, and the one you were watching starts again where it was when you return. A voice call still carries on in the background, which is the point of a call.
Chat beside OBS, on a link you set up once. The old chat dock link asked OBS to be signed in, which it cannot be, so it showed a sign in message where your chat should have been, and it pointed at one stream so it went dead the next time you went live. Copy chat dock link on your stream controls gives you a permanent link for an OBS or Streamlabs browser dock: no sign in, same link every stream, and it is never counted as somebody watching. It reads chat only, so reply from Frenz.
React to somebody in a channel and they are told. Replying already reached the person you answered, but an emoji reached nobody, so the quickest way to answer somebody was the one they never found out about. The alert takes you to the message. One person is one alert however many emoji they pick, and there is a switch for it under Notifications if you would rather not get them.
Three times as many emoji, including the check mark. The picker went from 332 to 1071, with Travel, Objects, Symbols and Flags added to the tabs. Search finds them by name, so typing check gets you the tick.
Streaming here is a €100 draw, the way it was. Four streams of an hour or more within 30 days puts you in, and one streamer is drawn at random every month. Yesterday this page said it had become a ladder with bigger amounts for more hours and more viewers. That was wrong of us to put up, and it is back to the draw.
Shift and enter starts a new line. In a channel and in your messages, the box was one line high: you could not put a blank line in anything, and shift-enter sent the message instead of breaking the line. It is a proper box now, it grows while you type, enter still sends, and messages with paragraphs in them show up that way.
A page that says what Frenz is and how to start. Two people in a row said they could not work out what Frenz was for. There is a What is Frenz page in the footer now: what it does, whether you have to leave Discord (you do not), what Premium actually changes, and the five things to do first, in the order you would do them.
One follow covers your Twitch stream too. Link Twitch under Connections and the people who follow you here get told when you go live there, with a link straight to your channel. They do not have to follow you twice, and you do not have to remember to post about it. Frenz only ever learns which channel is yours: it reads nothing else and never posts as you. Turn the alert off under Notifications if you would rather not get them, and unlinking stops it dead.
Every bug pays the same €10. There used to be a bigger amount for the ones that lost your work or showed you something they should not. One flat rate is simpler, and it means nothing hangs on us deciding how bad your bug was before you get paid.
Report a bug where you already are, and get an answer back there. The €10 counts whether you send it through the feedback link or post it in #bug-reports in Frenz HQ, and the channel is the better place because you can drop a clip or a screenshot in with it. When we have looked at it you get a reply on your own message saying what we did and whether it counted, instead of it going quiet.
The terms and the privacy policy are reachable from inside Frenz. They were linked from the signed out side of the site and nowhere else, so once you were in, the only way to them was typing the address yourself. They sit at the bottom of the menu now, with the guidelines and the copyright page.
Misclicked a poll? Press it again. Your answer was final the moment you tapped it, and every button on the card led to some answer, so there was no way back to having said nothing. Pressing the option you are already on now takes your vote back, the same way it works on a suggestion. Picking a different one still just moves your vote.
Change your stream's title or game without stopping. Picked the wrong game, or want to say what you are doing now? There is an Edit stream button with the other stream controls, in the browser and in the OBS console. What you change shows up straight away for everybody already watching, so nobody reloads and you do not have to end the stream and start another one.
Type the game instead of hunting for it. Picking a game when you upload a clip meant scrolling a list of hundreds. It is a search box now, the same one Browse and going live already had, with the box art next to each name. Type two letters and a game that is not in the list yet gets looked up and added.
Report a message in a community. Hover a message and there is a flag next to reply and react. Pick a reason, add a note if you want, and it goes to the people who run Frenz. Your own messages do not get the button.
See who reacted. Point at a reaction under a message and it tells you who it was, oldest first. Past the first eight it counts the rest instead of listing them.
One place each on Clip of the Month. If you had two of the month's best clips you took two places on the board, and could win two of the three prizes. Your best clip holds your place now and the second one frees it, so the next person moves up. The prizes go to three different people.

August 18, 2026

No shows, films or fights. Frenz is for what you made or what you have the rights to, and that is now checked when you upload a clip, save a video or go live. A name that reads like a TV episode, a film or a pay-per-view is turned away with a reason instead of sitting there until somebody reports it. A borderline one goes up and gets looked at by a person. If we get it wrong, send it through Send feedback and we will sort it out.
You can change your handle. Settings has a handle field next to your display name. Pick a new one and the old one still works for a month: links people already shared land on you, and nobody else can take the name in that time. Because of that it is one change a month, so nobody can shed a name every other day. Changed your mind or mistyped it? Going back to your old one is always allowed and does not count as your change for the month.
See who is talking while you play, on the desktop app. Turn on the overlay from the call and a small panel sits on top of your game with everybody in the call: bright with a green dot for whoever is talking, red for anybody muted. It never takes a click, so it cannot swallow one mid-fight, and it goes off your screen the moment you leave the call. Off unless you turn it on, with the switch in the call and the same one in the tray for when a game is full screen. It stays out of screen shares and clips, because it is for you and not for the people watching.
Handles that read as Frenz itself are reserved. Names like owner, bot, dev, premium, vip, download and 404 cannot be taken any more. An account called @owner can ask people for things in our name, and one called @download can be pasted into a message as if it were a link. A name that merely contains one of those words is still yours: botond, devon and downloader all go through as before.
Banning an account no longer needs something to have been reported first. An account that was made to sit on a name has not necessarily posted anything, so there was nothing in the queue to act on. The owner dashboard can ban straight from the audit that shows the problem, with a reason the account is told.
A view is one person, once a day. The counter went up on every open, so reloading a clip counted, opening it signed out counted, and tagging your own accounts and opening it from each counted every time. It now counts a person once a day per clip or video, and the people in a clip are not its audience: the owner never counted, and anybody tagged in it does not count either.
The free year of Premium goes to confirmed addresses. A slot is a year, which makes a run of throwaway signups on one domain worth somebody's afternoon. Confirming your email is now part of getting one, and it costs nobody real anything: you already have to confirm before you can sign in. Confirm later and you still get your place in the queue, it is handed to you the moment you click the link. Anybody who was given the year before this keeps it.
Somebody rings you while you are in a call? Add them to it. Answering used to mean walking out on the people you were with, because calling somebody opens a new room. The incoming card now has a third button when you are already in one: it pulls the caller into the call you are in, stops your ring, and puts an invite on their screen. One tap for them and everybody is in the same place.
People are called by their name, not by their handle. Call tiles, voice channels, your frenz list, suggestions, stream cards, giveaway winners and the alerts you get all showed the handle, so a call looked like a row of at-signs. They show the name somebody picked now, and fall back to the handle only when there is no name. Your handle is still your address: it is on your profile, it is what a mention finds, and it is what the search box takes.
Reply to a message in a community, the way you would on Discord. Hover a message and hit the reply arrow. What you write lands in the conversation with a line above it quoting what it answers, and clicking that line scrolls you straight to the original. The person you answered gets an alert. If their message is later deleted, the quote goes with it.
Partner and Affiliate can be agreed with us directly. Both are still earned the normal way, by hitting the milestones in your Creator Studio. On top of that we can now hand them over as part of a deal, and one given that way is held for good: the sub bar cannot take it back off you. Your Studio card says which of the two you are on.
Streaming here pays a set amount now, not a lottery ticket. The €100 streamer reward used to be one person drawn at random. It is a ladder instead: 20 hours live with 5 people watching pays €100, 40 hours with 15 pays €300, and 60 hours with 30 pays €600. Everybody who reaches a bar gets paid, so you can decide up front whether the month is worth it. What counts as somebody watching is on the rewards page, and it is not the best minute of your stream.
Your bug reports are a conversation now. Sending feedback used to be posting a letter into a hole in the wall. There is a Reports entry in the menu once you have sent something: it shows everything you sent, whether it was picked up, and lets you and the people who run Frenz talk about it. You get an alert when there is news, and if a report gets closed you are told why instead of hearing nothing. Only you and we can see any of it.
The free year of Premium now goes to the first 1000, not the first 100. We passed a hundred accounts sooner than expected and would rather keep giving it away than close the door. Everybody who already has it keeps it exactly as it is, and the next nine hundred get the same year, added on top of anything they already pay for.
Answer somebody straight from Discover. Posts under Discover were a picture of a post: the heart was not a button, there was no way to reply, and tapping the card took you to the person's profile instead of the thing you were reading. They are the same cards as your feed now, so you can like, reply, repost, share and save without leaving the page.
The stream comes with you. Open a stream, go read a channel or check your messages, and it keeps playing small in the corner instead of stopping the moment you leave the page. Click the picture to go back to it full size, or the cross to stop watching. It sits bottom right, out of the way of the menu; move it to another corner if you would rather have it somewhere else and it stays where you put it. When the stream ends the corner says so, with a link to the channel, rather than just vanishing.
Drag a channel or a role into place. Pick it up and drop it where you want it, instead of tapping an arrow once per step up a list of twelve. The arrows stay for phones and for anyone on a keyboard, and the categories your channels sit under move the same way.
Level ups can have a channel of their own. They used to go to the same place as your welcome message and your go live posts, or nowhere at all if you had not set that one. Under Roles there is now a channel picker for them. Leave it alone and nothing about your community changes.
You can see where something happened. Channels with messages you have not read carry a count, and so does the community in the sidebar, so you no longer have to open each one to find out. Opening a channel clears it. Your own messages never mark your own channel, and joining a community that has been going for years starts you caught up instead of tens of thousands behind.
You can answer a reply now. Replies stayed one level deep and only the first comment had a reply button, so there was no way to answer somebody who had answered you. Hitting reply on a reply opens the box with their name already in it and posts into the same conversation, rather than starting a branch that gets harder to read the deeper it goes.
React to a comment with any emoji. The heart is still there; now there is a row next to it, the same one community chat has. Press one somebody already used to join in, press it again to take yours back.
Age verification tells you it is running. Start the ID check and the page said nothing had happened, so the only thing to do was start it again. It now says the check is pending, offers to look up the result, and never opens a second one while the first is still going.
Age verification moves to Premium+. The ID check is billed per attempt by the company that runs it. It sits with Premium+ from now on, and the Premium+ card says so.

August 17, 2026

Fix a message you just sent. Hover your own message and there is a pencil: fifteen minutes to correct a typo, in messages and in community chat. The message stays where it is, keeps its reactions, and quietly says it was edited. After that it stands as written, so nobody can rewrite what they said once somebody has replied to it.
Type @ and pick the person. Start typing a name and a short list comes up with their picture, their name and their handle. Arrow keys to choose, Enter or Tab to drop it in. You no longer have to remember somebody's exact handle to tag them, which was the only way it worked before.
Confirm your email before you are in. New accounts get a link to click. Anyone who was already here stays signed in and never sees it. It stops accounts being made at addresses nobody owns, which is where most of the junk on a young site comes from.
The busiest categories come first. Browse used to lead with your own games in alphabetical order, so the one channel that was actually live sat below ten empty rows. It sorts by who is being watched now, then by who is on at all. Switch it back to your games with the button next to Categories.
Frenz HQ is now the place to reach us. It has channels for bug reports, feature requests, suggestions and help, with a pinned post saying what goes where. Anything about Frenz itself belongs in there and we read all of it.
Usernames with slurs in them are refused, and the ones already here are gone. Handles, display names and community names all go through the same check now, and spelling it with digits, dots or repeated letters does not get around it. Anyone whose name broke the rules keeps their account and everything in it, and picks a new name the next time they open Frenz.
The bots are gone. Frenz used to write its own posts, comments and live chat, and keep a cast of accounts around, so a new Frenz would not look empty. All of it is deleted. Every post, every chat line and every name you see from here belongs to a person.
The €100 rewards go to somebody new every month. Streaming here and bringing your community across used to be a race for the first few spots, which meant showing up late was pointless. Both are now drawn at random every month from everyone who hit the bar.
Click a name in stream chat. Their card opens right there: follow them, add them as a fren, send a message, or block and report if they are being a problem. Their profile opens in a new tab, so you never lose the stream you were watching.
Paste a screenshot straight into the chat. Take one, hit paste in the message box, send. Works in messages, in community chat and in photo channels. No saving it somewhere first and hunting for it in a file picker.
Keep watching the call while you use the rest of Frenz. There is a screen button on the call bar now. Press it and the cameras and screenshares float in a corner, so you can go read a channel or watch somebody's stream while your frenz are still showing you something. Move it between corners or put it away, the call carries on either way.
A thousand euro of gaming gear, given away this year. The drops are gear now instead of cash, and there is a lot more of it: keyboards, headsets, mice, streaming gear. It goes out at moments nobody knows in advance, to somebody who was around that week. Nothing to enter. Talk in voice, post something, stream, be part of a community, and you are in it. We post who won every time and ship it to you.
The bug bounty opens tomorrow at 19:00, and the page counts down to it. Everyone gets the same start, so the rewards page now says exactly when it opens instead of leaving you to guess whether what you found this morning counts.
The GIF picker is not a Premium thing. It never was gated, but the Premium page still listed it as a perk. Removed.
Search your communities. A search box on the communities page filters the ones you are in and the ones you could join, by name or by what they are about. Handy once you are in more than a handful.
Everyone gets their own colour in call and stream chat. Names used to all read the same, so a busy chat was a wall. Your own messages stay green; everybody else keeps one colour that is theirs, the same for everyone in the room and the same after a reconnect.
Run a giveaway in your own community. Managers get a gift button in the chat box: name the prize, pick how many people win and how long it runs. The giveaway lands in that channel and members enter with one tap, with the count and the clock on the card for everyone to see. When time is up the winners are drawn and announced in the same channel, even if nobody is online, and each winner gets an alert. Prize fell through? Call it off before it draws.
Your best moments get a channel of their own. Turn the starboard on in community settings, pick a channel and how many stars it takes. React to anything with the star emoji, and once enough people have, a copy lands on the board with who said it, where, and a link back. The count keeps up as more people star it, and if everyone takes their star back the highlight leaves again. Starring your own message does not count, unless you want it to.
The badge is called Founding Frenz. It went out reading Founding Fren, and a fren on their own is not a thing. Same badge, same number, same 500 slots.
Ask the room, right in the chat box. Anyone can start a poll: a question, two to ten answers, and how long it runs. People tap an answer and the bars move. The counts stay hidden until you have answered, so nobody just follows the leader, and whoever asked can close it early.
A suggestion box that answers back. Post what you think should change and the room votes it up or down. The mod team marks it accepted, done or not doing this, with a reason, and that answer sits right on the card. Voting closes when it is answered, so the score stays a record of what people actually thought.

August 16, 2026

Voice channels that make room for everyone. Tick join to create on a voice channel in the channel settings, and anyone who joins it gets a room of their own, named after them. The room shows up under the channel with whoever is in it, and it closes again when the last person leaves. No more asking a mod for a channel every time a second squad wants to play.
The leaderboard is now the rewards page. What you can earn and who is winning it are the same question, so they live on one screen. Rewards in the sidebar has the monthly boards with their live standings and the hall of fame, the numbered Founding Frenz badge, and what we pay out by hand while we are getting started for finding bugs, bringing your community across, and streaming here. The rules are on the same page, in plain words. Old leaderboard links still work.
Ten drops of 100 euro before the year is out. At moments nobody knows in advance, one hundred euro goes to somebody who was around that week. There is nothing to enter. Talk in voice, post something, stream, be part of a community, and you are in it. We post who won every time.
Bringing frenz along now pays. Top of the squad builder board at the end of the month gets fifty euro on top of the Premium and the trophy.
A video call starts with your camera on. Hitting the camera button in a chat opened the call with the webcam still off, so you had to switch it on yourself once you were in. It comes on by itself now, the moment you are connected.
The 18+ switch now says what it means. Going live, posting a clip, a video or a post: there is a what counts as 18+ link next to the switch that spells out what to flag, what is never allowed either way, and what needs no flag at all.

August 15, 2026

Your Frenz alerts now land in Discord. Paste a Discord webhook link into your webhook settings and go live alerts show up in that channel as a normal message with a preview card. They used to bounce and nothing appeared.
New clips can announce themselves. Tick the new clip event on a webhook and every clip you publish gets posted the moment it is live, with its thumbnail and title in the preview.
Bring your Discord server across in one go. Already run a server? In community settings, Channels and perks, paste a Discord template link and Frenz rebuilds the layout for you: channels, the groups they sit in, your roles and their colours, plus which channels are read only or locked to a role. You get a full preview before anything happens, and nothing you already built gets overwritten.
More room for roles and groups. Communities now hold up to 50 roles and 25 channel groups, so a big server fits without trimming it down.
Levels are here. Turn them on in community settings, Roles, and members earn points for chatting and climb levels as they go. Their level shows next to their name in the member list, and there is a top ten board so people can see where they stand.
Hand out roles at a level. Pick a level, pick a role, and everyone who reaches it gets it. People already past that level get it straight away, so you can add rewards to a community that has been running for months.
Say something when someone levels up. Write your own line with their name and level in it, posted in your announcements channel.
Tickets, so nobody has to chase a mod in chat. Switch them on under community settings, Moderation. Members get a Get help button that opens a private thread with your team, and you get a queue with everything in one place. Only the person who opened it and the mod team can read it.
Closed does not mean gone. Tickets stay readable after you close one, and if the member writes again it opens back up instead of making them start over.
Big Discord servers can come across too. Discord refuses to make a template once a server passes a thousand channel permissions, which is most servers worth moving. Paste your server id instead, invite the Frenz bot, and it reads the layout straight from the server. Same preview, same nothing gets overwritten.
Already imported a pile of them? One button clears it. Community settings, Channels and perks shows how many leftover ticket channels you are carrying and removes them in one go. Anything anyone has posted in is never touched, and neither is a normal channel that happens to start with a number.
Write your own house rules. Community settings, Moderation has automod now. Block words, stop invite links to other servers, cap how many people one message can tag, refuse shouting, and slow down anyone posting too fast. A message that breaks a rule never gets posted, and the person is told which rule it was so they can fix it themselves.

August 13, 2026

Read only channels. Tick read only on a channel and only owners and admins post there. Everyone else can read, like and react, which is exactly what an information or announcements channel wants.
Group your channels under categories. Make named groups like Info or Games in community settings, then file each channel into one from its edit dialog. The groups show in the channel list for everyone, on the site and in the app. Deleting a category keeps its channels.
Channel access can now name several roles. When you lock a channel to a role, you can pick more than one, and holding any of them opens it. Handy for a channel that both your helpers and your partners should see. Existing locks keep working exactly as they were.

August 9, 2026

Put your channels in the order you want. Community owners and admins can move channels up and down under community settings, Channels and perks. The new order shows for everyone, on the site and in the app.

August 7, 2026

Game audio comes through clean, in stereo. Shared sound was processed like a phone call, with echo cancellation and noise filtering chewing on music and gunfire. That warble is gone.
Calls on your phone use less data and battery. The app now pulls only the video quality it actually shows on screen, and your camera encodes with the phone's video chip instead of the processor.

August 6, 2026

Say hi to new members automatically. Community owners and admins can write a greeting and pick the channel it goes in. Put {user} in it and it turns into the new member's handle. Only channels everyone can read show up in the list, so nobody gets welcomed somewhere they cannot see.
Hand out a role the moment someone joins. Pick one role in community settings and every new member gets it on the way in, before the greeting goes up.
Your community hears it when you go live. Switch it on and the squad gets a line in chat with a watch link the moment someone starts streaming.
New clips can land in the chat too. Same idea, for clips. Tag a teammate afterwards and their community hears about it as well, without repeating itself anywhere it already posted.
Pick your own roles in a community. Owners can mark a role self serve, and members choose it themselves from the community page. Handy for which games you play or which pings you want. Roles a moderator handed you stay put either way.
React to any message with an emoji. Hover a message on the site or tap the plus on your phone and drop a reaction. Tap one that is already there to join it, tap again to take yours back. Your community's own emoji work too.

August 3, 2026

Time someone out instead of throwing them out. Owners and admins can silence a member for five minutes up to a week. They keep reading, they just cannot post, react or join voice, and it lifts on its own. Long press a member on your phone, or use the member menu on the site.
Being timed out tells you why and for how long. The message box says when it lifts and what the moderator wrote, and it opens back up by itself when the time is up.

August 1, 2026

Say why when you remove someone. Banning or kicking now asks for a reason, and someone who was banned sees it when they try to come back. Leave it blank if the situation speaks for itself.
A log of what the mod team did. Community settings under Moderation now shows every ban, kick, role change, channel added or removed and settings edit, newest first. Nothing on it can be edited or deleted, so lifting a ban adds a line instead of hiding one.
Photo channels and video channels in communities. Owners and admins pick what a channel takes when they add it: photos only, videos only, or both. Anything else is turned away, so the channel stays what it says it is.
Like and reply on what gets posted there. Every photo and video has a heart and its own replies, so you can react to one shot without it scrolling away in chat. The person who posted it gets a ping.
Community rules people accept before they join. Owners and admins can write house rules and switch on a gate, so anyone joining reads them and accepts once before they see a thing. Turn it on in community settings under General. Say no and you simply do not join, nothing is created.

July 30, 2026

Voice channels show everyone who is in them. Joining from your phone showed an empty room even when the channel was full. You now see the same people the site shows, with who is muted and who is talking.
Camera and deafen in voice channels on your phone. Turn your camera on to show your face in the channel, or deafen to silence everyone at once. Screen sharing stays on frenz.gg and the desktop app.
Join voice channels from your phone. Tap a voice channel in a community to hop in, with mute and who's talking, the same as on the site. They used to say you had to use frenz.gg.
Roles show their colors in the app. Community members' names carry their role color, with the role name next to it, just like the member list on the site.

July 29, 2026

Choose what pings you, from your phone. Every alert now has its own switch in the app: comments, mentions, frenz requests, someone going live, and the rest. Calls always come through.
Hide games you do not care about, and go private. Both settings are in the app now, so your feed and your profile are yours to shape without opening a browser.
Hashtags and mentions are tappable in the app. Tap a hashtag in a caption to see every clip carrying it, or a mention to open that profile. They were plain text on your phone before.
Follower and frenz counts open the list. Tap the numbers on any profile to see who follows them, who they follow and who their frenz are.
Post a clip straight from your phone. Pick a video from your camera roll, add a title, a description and a game, and watch the upload progress. If something goes wrong you get told what and can try again without starting over. The app could only take a link before, so anything already on your phone had to go through a browser.
Watch live streams in the app. Live channels in Discover, on a game page or on someone's profile now open a real player on your phone, with chat, the viewer count and a follow button. Tapping one used to drop you on a profile with no way to watch.
Anyone live shows up first in your feed. People you follow who are streaming right now appear at the top of the feed behind a red ring, so you can jump straight in.
Edit your profile from the app. Your display name, handle, bio, location, the games you play and your profile picture are all editable on the phone now. Before this you were stuck with whatever you typed when you signed up unless you went to the site.
The app navigates like the site now. The bar at the bottom is Feed, Discover, Frenz, Messages, More and your profile, the same as frenz.gg on a phone. Communities, voice rooms, the leaderboard, saved clips and settings all live behind More, so nothing is hidden under your profile any more.
Filters on Discover. All, Live, Clips and Videos sit at the top, the same four the site has, and videos now show up there too.
You see more of the clip. The dark band behind a poster's name and caption covered nearly half the video and stopped with a hard edge. It is a soft fade over a third of the screen now, so the clip stays the thing you are looking at.
See which version you are on. Settings shows your Frenz version at the bottom, so you can tell whether an update actually landed.
The download page shows every platform. Windows is there to grab, and Mac, iPhone and Android sit next to it so you can see what is on the way.

July 28, 2026

Saved clips, frenz and the leaderboard on your phone. Your profile now has a menu with everything the sidebar on the site holds: saved clips, your frenz and pending requests, communities, this month's standings and settings.
Communities are on your phone now. Browse them from Discover, open one to see its channels and members, join or leave, and read and post in text channels.
Messages are on your phone now. A Messages tab with all your conversations, unread counts and a chat screen that keeps up. Open a fren's profile and tap the message button to start one.
The bell moved to the feed. Alerts gave up its spot in the bar for messages, so your notifications now sit as a bell at the top of the feed.
Discover is on your phone now. A new tab shows who is live, which games people are playing and the freshest clips on Frenz. Search moved in there too, so finding a fren, a game or a clip all happens in one place.
Game pages on your phone. Tap any game in Discover to see everyone live in it right now.
Settings are in the phone app now. Open Settings from your profile for your account details, the rules, support and signing out. Deleting your account works right there too, so you never have to go to the site for it.

July 25, 2026

See what is really encoding your stream. While you are sharing your screen, voice settings shows the encoder your stream actually landed on, so you can tell in one look whether your graphics card picked it up.
Voice settings from community channels. The gear with your microphone, speaker, push to talk and stream encoder settings is now reachable inside community voice channels, not just squad rooms.

July 24, 2026

Settings from your profile on phones. Your profile page now shows the messages, notifications and settings shortcuts at the top, like every other page.
Pick your stream encoder. Voice settings and the stream picker now let you choose H264, AV1 or VP8 for screen shares, each labeled with whether it runs on your GPU or CPU on your machine. H264 stays the default.
Hide your own preview while streaming. A cog on your own tile in calls, rooms and community voice lets you hide your stream or camera preview and move your webcam corner. Only you stop seeing it, everyone else still sees your stream.
Search finds people by name too. Searching now matches display names as well as handles, including when you pick frenz to follow during signup and when you tag your squad.

July 23, 2026

Stream controls now live on the player. Tap or hover the video to bring up the controls right on the stream, Twitch style: mute, volume, quality, share and fullscreen, with a gear on phones for quality and popping out chat. The speaker icon now actually mutes, and on phones the video pins to the top with chat filling the screen below it.
A way back to your own stream. While you are live, a red "You are live" shortcut sits in the sidebar (or above the tab bar on phones) and takes you straight back to your stream screen.
Report anything, right from your feed. Every post, clip and video now has a small menu in the corner with a report option. Pick a reason, add a note if you want, and our team takes it from there.
Deleting your account, in plain words. A new page at frenz.gg/delete-account explains how to remove your whole account or single clips and posts, what gets deleted, and how fast. Nothing changed about deletion itself, it is just finally written down in one place.

July 22, 2026

Rule breakers get caught faster. Content that crosses the line, like porn, real violence or hate, is now spotted and removed around the clock, and reviewed by a human. Accounts that keep it up can be suspended from all of Frenz, with an appeal path in the guidelines.
The rules of going live, in writing. Before your first stream you agree to the streaming rules once: you run your stream and chat, you flag 18+ content, and you stream what you have rights to. One tap, never asked again.
Real community guidelines. The new guidelines at frenz.gg/legal/guidelines spell out what flies on Frenz, what needs the 18+ flag, and how enforcement and appeals work. The terms of service grew up along with them.
Age verification now checks your age, not just your ID. The verified badge only lands when the birth date on your document says you are 18 or older. Under 18? The check completes by itself on your 18th birthday, no new scan needed.
Age verification finishes on the spot. When you come back from the ID check, your verified status now appears within seconds instead of waiting on a confirmation behind the scenes.
Verify your age once, keep it forever. Premium members can verify their age in settings through a secure ID check. Once verified it never expires, even if you cancel Premium, and it unlocks mature content without setting a birthday.
18+ communities. Community owners can require a verified age to join. Anyone without the verification sees a clear message pointing at settings instead of a dead end.
Mark your content 18+. Clips, videos, posts and live streams now have a mature content switch, in the editor, the composer and the go live screen. Flagged content only reaches viewers who are 18 or older.
Age aware feeds. Mature content stays out of the feeds, browse and watch pages unless your birthday in settings says you are 18 or older. Watch pages show a clear notice instead of the video.
Channels for specific roles only. When creating or editing a community channel you can now pick which role gets in, like a mods-only lounge or a channel just for your MVPs. Everyone else sees the channel with a lock. Admins always have access, and handing someone the role opens the door instantly.
Notes on people, just for you. Open someone's profile card and jot down how you know them. Only you can read it, and it's there next time you look them up.
Shared notes for community admins. Admins can leave a note on any member from the manage menu. The whole admin team sees the same note and who wrote it last, handy for keeping track of helpers and troublemakers alike.

July 20, 2026

Blog covers are now part of the page. Every article shows its full cover above the story, and every post in the blog overview has its own thumbnail.
Blog links now bring their own card. Share an article on X, Discord or another social app and it shows a branded preview with the headline instead of a bare link.
GIF banners for everyone. Animated profile banners are no longer a Premium perk. Open Settings, hit the GIF button next to your banner and pick one, or upload your own. Animated avatars stay a Premium flair.
Browse Frenz without an account. You can now scroll the feed as a guest: open frenz.gg, tap "Continue without logging in" and watch what everyone is sharing. Liking, commenting, following and posting still need an account, and it's one tap away whenever you're ready.
Easier to reach us. The bottom of every public page now shows our company details and the support@frenz.gg address, so you always know who runs Frenz and where to send questions.

July 19, 2026

Delete clips right from the grid. Your clips now show a delete button on the tile itself, both in the creator studio and on your profile. No more opening every clip one by one, and a deleted clip disappears immediately instead of hanging around until you delete it twice.

July 17, 2026

Tell us what to fix. A Send feedback link now sits under your profile card in the sidebar, next to the alpha build tag. Broke something, missing something, hate something? Two clicks and it lands on our desk.
Everything important is one tap away on your phone. Messages, notifications and settings now sit in the top bar on every page, with a dot when something is waiting. The More menu got shorter, and page buttons like New community moved into the page itself so nothing feels cramped.
The leaderboard shows who is winning right now. A shorter Leaderboard title, and the top 3 of each competition sit right at the top by name. Standings refresh on their own, no reloading needed.
Your personal info is private by default. Location, birthday, relationship and contact details stay hidden unless you choose who sees them, field by field. Your bio and links stay public, they are your gamer card.
Log out lives at the top of settings. One tap, you are out.
Frenz starts with Windows. The desktop app now registers itself to start when your PC does, quietly in the tray, so recording and your squad are always one click away. You can turn it off from the tray menu. Closing the window keeps Frenz running in the tray, quit from the tray menu when you really want it gone.
Invite frenz to your community by name. The invite window now shows your frenz list next to the link: tap Invite and they get a notification with Accept and Decline right on it. Accepting drops them straight into the community, private ones included.
You can hear your squad come and go. Voice now plays a soft cue when someone joins or leaves your call or voice channel, a little sparkle when someone starts streaming in it, and a goodbye blip when you hang up. Deafen keeps all of it quiet.
Your call now lives in the sidebar. While you are in voice, a compact card sits right under search: the call name to jump back in, mute, deafen, the little arrows for your mic and speaker devices, and leave. No more floating pill covering your feed on desktop. On your phone the floating bar still follows you around.

July 16, 2026

Your real look in calls. Call tiles now heal themselves if your avatar did not load right away, and your avatar decoration finally shows in calls too, same ring as on your profile.
Music gets its own lane in the video editor. Just like the big studio tools: your video's sound sits on top, and music lives on its own track under it. Drop different songs under different parts of your video, drag a segment to move it, pull its edges to trim, and give each one its own volume. Everything you had saved before keeps working.
Calls stay up while you browse. Being in a call and hopping to the feed or any other page no longer risks dropping you. Even a full page refresh puts you right back in the call, and the floating call bar is always there to tap back in.
Views and upload time on Discover. Video and clip tiles in Discover now show how many views they have and how long ago they went up, so you can spot what is fresh and what is popping at a glance.
Invite frenz to your communities. Every community now has an Invite button with a link you can copy or share. Anyone who opens it can join in one tap, and it works for private communities too, so bringing your squad in no longer means hunting for a workaround.

July 15, 2026

Fresh look for the browse categories. Just Chatting, IRL, Music and the rest now have bright, designed cover tiles that sit right next to the game box art, so the browse page looks sharp end to end.
Reorder communities with a tap. On the Communities page your own communities now carry little up and down arrows, so putting a favourite on top works great on phones too. Same saved order as the sidebar drag on desktop.
Your communities live in the sidebar now. Under Communities you get your own quick list: one click jumps straight in, and you can drag the rows so your favourites sit on top. The order saves to your account and follows you across devices. The little arrow tucks the list away.
Double-click to hop in. Double-clicking a voice channel in the community rail joins the call right away, Discord style. A single click still just opens the channel.
Voice follows you around Frenz. Join a community voice channel and keep browsing: the feed, your messages, anywhere. The call keeps going and a floating bar on every screen lets you mute, deafen or hang up, and one tap drops you back into the channel.
Switching calls is your call. Opening a room page while you are already in voice no longer yanks you over, it asks first.
Pick your mic and speakers in one tap. The little arrows next to the mic and headphone buttons open the input and output menus: choose a device, flip voice activity or push to talk, and set the volume.
Voice channels work on phones now. Screen shares and cameras always show up, the squad sits in one line you can swipe through under the stage, and every button stays reachable, Disconnect included.
Open Frenz from the website. The site's big button now says Open Frenz and takes you straight to sign in, with create account one tap away.
Game tags open Discover. Tap the game on a feed clip or video and Discover opens with that game already selected, so you land straight on more of the same.

July 14, 2026

Every category wears art now. Just Chatting, Music, Art, ASMR, Fitness and the other non-game categories got their own designed covers, so no more blank tiles anywhere in the directory.
A real Filters panel. Clips, videos and search got a Filters button like YouTube: narrow results by video length (under 3 minutes, 3 to 20, over 20) and upload date (today, this week, this month, this year). It works together with the game buttons and the sort picker.
Box art for every category. Category tiles that showed up blank, Diablo IV and Grand Theft Auto among them, now pull their covers properly. Franchise categories wear the art of their biggest game.
Discover got the same filters as search. The Clips and Videos tabs on Discover now carry the quick game buttons with your games leading, a sort picker, and results ordered by what you play, closest games next. Hidden categories stay hidden there too.
Search got filters. Quick buttons on top narrow a search to clips, videos, people or communities, game chips filter by game with your own games leading, and a sort picker switches between relevance, newest and most viewed. Videos now show up in search too.
Search knows what you play. Results put clips and videos from your games first, then games close to yours, then the rest. Categories you hid never show up unless you pick that game on purpose.
Post, video or clip from the share box. The share box now offers Photo, Video and Clip shortcuts, so uploads start right from the feed.
Nicknames per community. Go by a different name in every community you join. Set it right above the leave button, and everyone there sees it in chat, voice and the member list. Your profile keeps your real display name.
A stats-first Creator Studio. The overview now shows your live streaming numbers for the last 30 days, plus your best performing clip, video and post with their stats right under the preview. Your top clips moved to their own Clips tab.
The video editor grew up. One player with an Edited preview and Original toggle, the timeline right underneath, and the settings sorted into Details, Edit and Extras tabs, no more scrolling hunt. You can now also upload your own audio as a music bed, next to the built-in tracks.

July 13, 2026

Creators now keep 60% of ad revenue. Both video ads and live stream ad breaks pay creators 60%, up from 55 and 50, on top of keeping 90% of subs and 95% of tips.
A brand new frenz.gg. The whole public site got a redesign: a bolder home page, fresh pages for live and video, making money, and the GTA 6 hubs, all built around real product screens. Every button takes you where it says, and the site is faster and easier to read on your phone.
Gift subs are here. Gift 1, 5, 10 or 20 subs to a channel from the Gift button next to Subscribe and Fuel. Community gifts land on random viewers who aren't subscribed yet while the creator is live, or gift straight to a specific @handle. Every gift feeds the hype train, recipients get a month of sub perks, and the creator keeps 90% as always.
One sub for channel and community. Creators with subs enabled can link their community to their channel in Manage, Subscriptions. Once linked, a channel sub unlocks every community tier, and a community sub counts as a channel sub too: sub-only streams, videos and channels open up and ads on that channel disappear. One sub, everything included.
See who's in voice. Voice channels in communities now show who's inside right in the channel list, live, before you join. The channel page shows the same faces, so you never hop into an empty room by accident.
Community events. Plan game nights and watch parties from the new Events entry in your community. Pick a voice channel and a start time, members tap Interested, and everyone who did gets a ping the moment it starts.
The boost bar. Your community's boost progress now sits at the top of the channel list with a filled bar toward the next level. Tap it for the levels, perks, who's boosting, and your own boost buttons in one place.
Voice status at a glance. The people listed under a voice channel now show what they're doing: a green ring while they talk, mute and deafen icons, and a LIVE tag while they share their screen.
Community roles with colors. Owners and admins create roles in Manage, Roles and hand them out from the member list menu. A member's top role colors their name in chat and groups them in the member list, the way Discord does it.
You pick the role order. Arrows next to each role in Manage, Roles set the ranking: the top role wins the name color and leads the member list.
A tidier member list. The boosters section starts collapsed so members stay front and center, one tap shows the full booster list again.
Share your game, not your tabs. Starting a stream in a voice channel, squad room or Go live now opens the share picker on your application windows, so your game is right there. Tab and full screen sharing are still one click away in the same dialog, you can swap what you share without stopping the stream, and your own Frenz tab no longer shows up as an option.
Avatar decorations are here. Nineteen animated frames for your avatar, worn everywhere your face shows: chat, comments, voice, the feed, your profile. Four are free for everyone, seven unlock with achievements like Famous Frenz and Gone Viral, and the rest come with Premium and Premium+. Pick yours in Settings under Avatar decoration.
Sub-only sections in videos. Creators can now mark a point in a video where the free part ends: everyone watches up to it, subscribers watch the rest. Set it in the video editor with one click on the exact frame, and viewers see where the free part ends before they press play. Great for a public teaser with the full drop for your subs.

July 12, 2026

Link your Steam. Connect Steam in Settings (App & account) and your frenz see what you're playing right on your status, the way Discord shows it. Works while you're on Frenz with your Steam game details set to public.
Link your Spotify. Same idea for music: connect Spotify in Settings and your frenz see the song you're listening to on your status. We only read the current track, nothing else, and going invisible hides it.
Ads arrived, the fair way. Sponsored cards in the feed, a short pre-roll on videos, and ad breaks on live streams. Creators keep half of stream ad revenue and more than half on videos. Premium members see no ads anywhere, and subscribing to a creator removes ads from their whole channel.
Streamers: a Run ad button. Pick 30, 60 or 90 seconds right from the broadcast page. Your subs keep watching uninterrupted, and your ad reach now shows in the Studio next to your earnings.
Stream ads work like Twitch. New viewers get a short ad before the stream starts, and one plays when the stream ends. Subscribers skip all of it on that channel, and Premium skips ads everywhere.
The full games directory, Twitch-style. Browse now lists every game with its box art, live channel count, and viewers, not just the ones with someone streaming. Your own games always lead, sorted by who has the biggest audience right now, and zero-viewer games stay visible so you can jump into any category.
Box art in the game picker. Searching for a game now shows its cover next to the name, everywhere you pick a game.
A brand new frenz.gg front page. Visitors now get the full story: what Frenz is, how tagging your squad spreads clips, voice rooms, creator payouts, and our privacy stance, with animated product previews. Log in and create account sit right up top.
New pages for finding us. Guides on GTA 6 at Frenz, GTA 6 communities, and how creators make money here, each with a proper FAQ. You'll find them in the footer.
What's new moved to the top bar, next to messages and notifications, so your left menu stays lean.
A Live tab on every profile. Streamers get a real channel home: your weekly streaming schedule (set it in Settings, Channel), your panels, and past broadcasts as a subscriber perk. While you're live, your profile banner becomes the stream (one tap opens it) and visitors land on the Live tab first.
Streaming schedule. Tell your viewers when you go live, day by day, right from Settings, Channel.
Panels support formatting. Bold, italics, and bullet points in panel text, so rules and specs read like a proper page.
Stone theme. A new light theme in Appearance that sits between Silver and the dark themes: less glare, still light. The Frenz logo now follows your theme too, so it stays visible on every background.
Tiered achievements. Chained achievements (like First Blood, Content Machine, Prolific) now share one icon and level up bronze, silver, gold, so your medal case shows the build-up at a glance.
Notification settings, organized. Toggles are grouped into Social, Your content, Live & voice, and Achievements, so the one you want is easy to find.
Patch notes! This page. Everything we ship now lands here, at frenz.gg/updates, linked from the sidebar under "What's new".
Frenz on your phone got a full overhaul. Community pages now have a slide-in channel list and a members panel that actually opens on mobile, menus and pickers fit the screen, profile tabs scroll instead of cutting off, the photo editor always shows its buttons, and every control is big enough to tap. If something felt impossible to press before, try it again.
Community subscriptions are here. Community owners can create up to three paid tiers (from €2.99/month) once their community reaches 500 members, with a progress bar showing how close you are. Lock single channels or the whole community behind a tier, and give subscribers name flair in chat.
Custom community emojis. Communities can upload their own :emoji: set and lock favorites behind subscription tiers.
2FA by email. Prefer not to use an authenticator app? You can now get your two-factor sign-in codes by email.
Post from the feed. A share box now sits at the top of your feed for quick text and photo posts, and broken clip tiles no longer show up.

July 10, 2026

Presence statuses. Set yourself Online, Away, Do Not Disturb, or Invisible, with the same rules you know from Discord.
Voice quick settings. Pick your microphone and speakers, adjust volumes, and switch to push-to-talk right from the voice footer.
Two-factor authentication. Protect your account with an authenticator app, complete with backup codes.
Contact card. Add your real name, contact email, and phone to your profile. Private by default, with per-field control over who sees what.
Seven new Premium profile effects, including Smoke.
Community icons. Owners can upload and manage their community's icon.
A fresh coat of paint on our emails, matching the Frenz brand.

July 9, 2026

Photo posts and Stories. Share photos with an Instagram-style editor (crop, filters, adjust, text) and post 24-hour Stories to the ring row at the top of the feed.
The video editor arrived. Cut, add text, music, blur, and color to your videos in the Studio, or use the one-tap auto edit to cut silences, pick music, and suggest a title.
Tag your frenz on everything. Clips, videos, and posts. Tagged clips show on your frenz's profiles and reach their followers too.
Ghost tags. Tag squadmates who aren't on Frenz yet; they claim the tag (and the clip) when they join.
Sign in with Discord.
@mentions everywhere. Ping people in comments, community chat, and clip titles; they get notified.
Founding Fren badge. Early members get a numbered badge that stays on their profile forever.
Monthly competitions. A referral leaderboard and an automatic Clip of the Month, with prizes and a hall of fame.

July 8, 2026

Achievements. Earn badges for milestones, show them off on your profile header, track progress, and unlock exclusive profile effects.
Profile cards. Click any avatar for a Discord-style card with mutual frenz and shared communities.
Community management. Owners and admins can manage roles, kick and ban, and edit channels (emoji in channel names welcome).
Tabbed settings across account, Studio, and community management, with a sticky save bar.
Mobile app parity. The Frenz mobile app picked up the feed, comments, search, notifications, richer profiles, and the clip viewer.

July 7, 2026
