All right. You have just designed your own logo but the question is: How to add the logo to my LIVE stream?

Hi, I’ll check it out 🙂
Correct me if I’m wrong. From the first glance, I see that there is no option to add my custom icons or fonts? I noticed that there are quite a lot of both, but still I think users should have a choice to add their own ideas if they had ones.
