Why do my livestreams not show up on Live when I'm live?
This could be for many reasons. The first reason is FishFam.link doesn't know you are a live-streamer. Have you notified us? If you previously were showing up and now are not it could be we removed you to save API calls because you were dormant for awhile or because your streams were not mainly fish focused. While you are free to stream about whatever content you want; FishFam.link is meant to display content that is for the majority based on Fish, Plants and Reptiles.
Why do my recent videos not show up on Videos?
The first reason would be an issue with our API calls. Please ask us to make sure there is no problem with your video calls. The next reason is if a large portion of your content is not Fish, Plant or Reptile related we may have removed your video calls.
