Option can be found in the '...' in stream/VOD view - Added notification mirroring and universal dimsiss! Notifications are now mirrored across devices (if app is not installed on other devices), or if app is installed on multiple devices, when you dismiss a notification on a single device, it will dismiss across all devices. - Optimised chat scrolling.
