The eight panels every channel page needs, and the order viewers read them

A channel page is read from the top of the panels down, once, by someone who arrived during an ad break. The eight below are the ones viewers actually scroll for; the order is the order the questions come in. Each panel is one title and one to three lines of text, in two colours, not five. A ninth panel is nearly always one of these eight split in two.

The eight, in reading order.

1. About. Who you are and what the stream is, in three lines a stranger can read in the time it takes to decide. Line one: what you play or make. Line two: when (the days, the hour, the time zone). Line three: what the chat is like. Nothing else; the rest of the page carries the rest.
2. Schedule. The days and the start time, in one time zone with the zone named, and the one line that matters more than the times: what happens when you miss a night (a post, a Discord ping, nothing). Three nights a week written as three words reads better than a seven-day grid with four blanks.
3. Rules. Five lines at most, the first one positive. Be kind; no spoilers past the hedge; no backseating unless asked; English in chat; the mods' word is final. A wall of twelve rules reads as a channel that has had trouble; five read as a channel that has thought about it.
4. Socials. One line per place you actually post, with the handle written out, newest first. A dead account listed here sends people to a page from 2023; list only what you updated this month.
5. Tip jar. Where tips go and what they do, in two lines: the link, and the one honest sentence (“never expected, always read out”; “pays for the games on the vote”). No goal bar on the panel; goals live in the stream overlay, where they can move.
6. Setup. The chair, the mic, the camera, the capture box, the PC parts, one line each, because “what mic is that” is asked every night and the panel answers it while you play. Model names, not brands alone.
7. Commands. The six chat commands people use, with what each does: !schedule, !socials, !setup, !lurk, !discord, !vote. Every command on the bot is a list nobody reads; six is a panel.
8. FAQ. The three questions you answer every stream that are not the setup. Can I play with you; why is the stream delayed; do you have a Discord. Three lines, three answers, and the chat asks them a little less.

What goes on each line.

Title: the panel's one word, as it appears on the image (About, Schedule, Rules). Line one: the answer. Line two: the detail that stops a follow-up question. Line three, if any: the link or the handle, written out. Text on the panel image itself is a title only; the lines sit in the panel's description box, where they stay readable on a phone and can be edited without a new image.

Two colours, not five.

One background and one accent, both taken from your overlay or your emotes, used the same way on all eight images: background behind the title, accent for the single shape. A set in five colours reads as eight channels. If your overlay has no colour yet, pick a dark background and one bright accent and let the whole page inherit it; the sample set is deep plum and mint for exactly that reason.

Sizes: 320 × 100 at 2× (640 × 200) is the size that stays sharp on a retina screen and still loads instantly; the extension-less PNG is the file type every platform takes. Upload in the order above, top to bottom, and set each panel's link to the thing its title promises.
