Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host as we look back at the best user-created offerings from the previous week. Whelp, that's another week down the drain. Not sure about you, but as more countries and states move towards reopening business and workplaces, please, be careful out there. Even if you are excited to go back to "life as usual" be kind to those around you by maintaining social distancing as well as wearing a mask when in public areas. Regardless, we have some important bits of Giant Bomb housekeeping to address, so, let's jump right into it!
- The Roku App continues to be an issue for many users and the engineering team is aware of the situation. It's happening on the Gamespot Roku as well so as far as we can tell Roku changed something that broke some stuff for everyone at CBSi.
- The issue of chat detecting ellipses (i.e., "....") as a hyperlink has been reported. Will hopes to get to the issue before the livestreams on Monday hit full swing, but until then, please be patient.
- The user video tool that allows you to watch Giant Bomb videos simultaneously got a major update! Read over how it has improved and feel free to share any suggestions you'd like to see in the future.
