May Flowers vs. Power Event, Audio/Video Beta Update, Clipper Role
Attendees: Zach, Meggs
May Flowers vs. Power Event
Zach announced the next major platform event: Flower vs. Power. It mirrors the December 2024 Naughty vs. Nice structure — two competing gift tracks (Flower and Power), both senders and receivers can rank, daily prizes return to the top 100 format, and a mix of new and existing "power" gifts (Midas, Licking Lion, Brawl Boys, etc.) will be included. A 24-hour countdown will go out before launch.
Audio/Video Beta Update
- Team knows exactly what's causing current glitches — fix could be less than a week out if everything goes smoothly
- Android volume control issue already patched
- Submit support tickets through your Profile, not just chat complaints — more data = faster fixes
Clipper Role
- Clipper Role is live — Level 4+ streamers can assign clipping permissions via Profile > Settings > Clippers
- Team may restrict access temporarily to reduce confusion for lower-level users
- In-app clipping tools planned for the future
Snipe Center
- Clip contest winners set to be announced that day
- Criteria shifting away from pure interaction counts toward more experimental formats
- Creators encouraged to post clips cross-platform with relevant hashtags
Zach's Secret Conference
Joined remotely from a small East Coast island (not Nantucket) speaking on a panel alongside YouTube and other platforms about the future of content and creators — invite-only, investor-attended event (he joked it "has secret in the name").
Features on the Horizon

- "Making of" gift animations — Behind-the-scenes content tied to Level 9 unlocks, released in order Level 9 was achieved
- Phone + studio simultaneous use — Actively being worked on
- World Cup & Memorial Day gifts — Both in development
- Throwback gift days — Desired, but needs a fair mechanic before launch
