Segment A (Confrontation Reel) isn't recency-gated — its whole point is showing the futility of leftist arguments and policies, which doesn't expire. Search your full library (including already-used clips, since they still work as deep-dive material) before pulling fresh content.

Clips grouped by Topic/Story tag — set via ✎ Edit, or auto-suggested when you Fetch Info on a URL. Use this to check story coverage and avoid overloading one topic.

Export the "Table data" CSV from YouTube Studio Analytics, then pick the video matching this stream to auto-fill date, views, watch time, CTR, and (if detected) the named person.

Streams sharing the same Combo ID, in order used. A "Declining" flag means the latest CTR dropped more than 15% below the average of prior uses — time to refresh the title/thumbnail.

Separates livestream and VOD performance so they don't dilute each other in headline averages. Builds as you log streams with the correct Format selected.

Tracks avg views and CTR by when the stream starts (Eastern time). Historical Studio data shows 8pm Eastern averages 331 views vs 105 at noon, with nearly double the CTR. This panel confirms whether that pattern holds as you log more streams with the Start Time field filled in.

Tracks how many queued stories actually get covered each stream, per segment. Builds the recommendation for how many clips to queue in an average show based on your actual completion rates over time.

Average time the stream spent on each story category, sourced from the teleprompter's per-story stopwatch. Longer time = audience kept watching. Builds after streams are logged with timing data attached.

A format defines the segment slots for a stream — name, color, and time budget. Switch the active format to change what's offered for new clips and new plans. Each saved plan remembers which format it was built with, so switching formats won't break old plans.

Segments play in this order. Target is the time budget shown on the Plan a Stream page.

Used to auto-suggest "Named Person" when you Fetch Info on a clip or import a CSV. Matching is case-insensitive.

Used to auto-suggest a "Topic / Story" tag for grouping clips into subtopics. Matching is case-insensitive; if multiple match, they're joined with " + ".

Drives the ★ score shown on story cards. Each keyword carries a 0–100 weight based on how strongly it's correlated with past performance — title/topic/named-person text on a clip is matched against this list and averaged. Entries marked title-only are early, low-confidence guesses from title data alone; verify them against transcript or comment data when that's available, or just adjust the weight yourself as you get a feel for what's actually working.

The Chrome extension opens clip source links directly into a tab group in another window. When connected, a gold 🔗 Tab Group badge appears in the header above.

Running CrossCast on another device? Open the extension popup (click the CC icon in your Chrome toolbar) and update the Dashboard URL field to match — e.g. http://192.168.1.42:3000 if CrossCast is running on another machine on your network.

Controls text size in the Teleprompter view — keep this large enough to read at a glance while live.

Backfills existing clips with conventions added by later updates — copying title into empty Notes, and skimming Notes/Title text for Tracked Names or Topics that aren't reflected in those fields yet. This never writes anything automatically: scan first, review every suggested change, then apply only what you approve. Safe to run anytime — clips with nothing to change just won't appear.
