The Mac copy of TG Drop Deck has caught up. Everything the Windows side gained over the last few days is on the Mac too, and both copies are on 3.5.2 again.
Your show goes out on YouTube, Facebook or Restream, or any RTMP server. Pick a platform on the new Video streaming page, paste your stream key, press Command B. Your radio station is still on its own page, and the On air menu now shows you which of the two Command B is pointed at.
Something has to be on the screen, because YouTube will not take sound on its own. A card with your station name and whatever is playing, your own artwork, a camera, your screen, or your screen with the camera in a corner you choose. Option Shift V changes it while you are live, without dropping the stream.
Four named places for words on top of the picture. A top strip, a corner, a lower third and a clock. Each can show your station name, what is playing, the time, your own words, or a text file that is re-read a second after it changes, so anything else on your machine that writes a text file can drive your screen.
There is no canvas and there are no coordinates, and that is the point. Putting something at an exact position is the easy half. Knowing whether it looks right is the half that needs eyes. Four places that are already the right size and cannot land on top of each other can be checked without looking, because the answer to "what is on screen" is four lines long.
Command Shift V says what is on screen. The picture, and everything on top of it, in words. On air or off.
Nothing else in broadcasting does this. A preview window is a graphics surface with no accessibility information at all, on any platform, so there is nothing anywhere that will tell the person making a stream what is currently in it.
Command Shift F says what the camera can see. In shot or not, centred, close enough, lit. It says changes rather than states, so it is not a running commentary.
Option Shift D asks something that can see. One still of the picture going out, to Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini, on your own account, and it reads back what a sighted person would have noticed. Framing, whether the top of your head is cut off, whether the light behind you is brighter than your face, whether your shirt blends into the wall, what is behind you. On a screen share it looks for anything private and says where it is so you can close it.
Three things it deliberately does not do. It is never needed to go live, and going live never waits for it. It never sends a picture of your screen without asking, and it asks every single time, because a yes about one screen is not a yes about the next. And it never fails loudly.
Option Shift C is your own colours, chosen by name and judged by number rather than by eye. Every colour says how it will read against what it sits on: "gold, easy to read, 8.6 to 1", or "light green, too close together to read, 2.2 to 1". Nobody is asked to imagine a swatch.
Command B says what it is about to do, and waits. Where the show is going, what it is sending, what will be on the screen, and whether your own microphone is on the air. Then Return puts you live. It checks as well, because nearly every way of getting a broadcast wrong survives the connection and ruins the show quietly.
The download grew by about a megabyte. For contrast, OBS is 390 MB, and 275 MB of that is a complete copy of Chrome.
