Stars Store

Stars store is a digital destination where users can purchase Stars through Facebook Pay, save them in their virtual wallets, and reward a creator while consuming their content. Previously, users were only enabled to purchase Stars while watching a video, but through the store, viewers can buy stars as desired and for lower prices.

Stars Party

Stars Party is a new interactive feature that is triggered when Stars sent during a live stream hit a certain threshold. Once it hits this mark a countdown appears for the community to have a Stars goal, if the goal is met animated effects are displayed over the chat screen along with a 'thank you'. Stars goals completed during 22 December-3 January, will dispense a 50 USD bonus to creators.
