#wmwupdates

This week we added a cool new feature! Thanks to our intern Divij Nagpaul for leading the charge on this.      You can now make a custom thumbnail that will appear on your stream for the first 2 hours. (after which it will be replaced with the Youtube preview image). Once users start customizing their thumbnails, the All Live Streams page will look consistently awesome! The pixel dimensions are: 303 x 225 but will resize larger photos as well.

I’d also like to welcome 4 new members to the Watch Me Work team: Elle Marzec, Tayler Olivias and Noah Hendersonare our new Admins focusing on community engagement and outreach and McCoy Buck is our third creative partner. Elle’s goal is to help people eliminate the fear around trying new things. Whether it be crafts, as in this case, or in life in general, she believes you shouldn't be afraid to try, and sometimes fail. She’ll tackle everything from traditional arts such as embroidery and knitting, to Pinterest Fails, and will take on any user challenge! Tayler is a student studying Illustration and Concept Design in the field of Entertainment at a college in Laguna Beach, CA. He’s interested in expanding the platforms he’s engaging in as well as learn from various art communities. Noah is a talented character artist working professionally and is interested in continuing to improve professionally as well as grow his artistic network to learn from others. McCoy has a huge passion for animation and teaching. He’s been animating for a little under two years and is constantly learning. He works in Sketchbook Pro 7 Anime Studio Pro 11 Gimp/ Photoshop Ink Scape / Illustrator Aesprite / Pyxel Edit and is looking forward to hosting critique shows and the potential to teach.

That’s it for today! Thanks and keep collaborating!
