It should accept just about any format, but webm is HIGHLY recommended. It modern, efficient, and allows for transparency.

The other big news is that we are now "Digital TableTops VTT". I've been wanting to rebrand this way for a while but needed to reach a certain number of reviews before asking Steam nicely to let me change it. Which they agreed promptly so we are all set there.

Now when you search for "VTT" we are right there below Fantasy Grounds when sorted by relevance and in the #1 spot when sorted by reviews. Thanks everyone for helping to make that happen!

As usual, let me know if you encounter any problems via the dedicated bug tracking thread, and leave a review if you haven't already. Thanks!
