Breaking News Ticker

Shown exactly as typed, scrolling in the ticker. Separate multiple items with a "|" character.
Alert Dashboard — Theater Visibility
Admin only
Controls which theater panels appear on the live alert dashboard for everyone — not a per-viewer preference. Useful for hiding regions that aren't wired to a real feed yet.
Announcements
Admin & Editor
Shown at the top of the live alert dashboard, in place of the old default instructional notice — use this for real team communications (an outage, a new source added, a scheduled maintenance window).
Preview below shows how formatting and links will appear. Only HTTPS links and basic formatting are displayed.

Watch Live — YouTube Stream Links
Admin & Editor
A per-theater YouTube link shown behind the "Watch Live" button on the live alert dashboard. Accepts a normal watch link (youtube.com/watch?v=...), a youtu.be link, a specific broadcast's /live/ link, or a channel's /channel/ID/live page. A channel's /@handle/live page isn't supported — use its /channel/ID/live link instead. Leave blank and save to remove a theater's stream.
Live News Sources
Admin & Editor
Manage worldwide and regional YouTube news channels. A direct live video link works without an API key; automatic live detection uses the optional free YouTube Data API key on the dashboard Worker.
Homepage Sections
Admin & Editor
Choose which homepage sections visitors can see. Hidden sections collapse without leaving gaps.
Alert Location Reviews
Admin & Editor
Resolve alerts whose source message does not identify a verified map position. Choose the theater, inspect the original message, and click to place the alert.
Review Telegram damage reports from every connected theater, grouped by location. Compare original posts with historical alerts and attach reports from one workspace.
