Community commentary
The stream broadcasts voice from the "Streambot" channel in the main QuakeWorld discord. This means that anyone with access to that channel can do commentary on the game that is being streamed.


Feedback
Please report any issues and ideas for improvement to "XantoM" at QuakeWorld discord. You can also submit issues at GitHub.
