DGT e-Boards on chess.com - recent changes to configuration

I've noticed some recent changes to using a DGT board on chess.com. In the past you had to be a beta member. I no longer think this is a requirement. I checked if I was a beta member, it asked if I wanted to "join" meaning, I was not a member and the board still works.  Additionally, you had to play your games in "Live Chess" versus "Play". Now, it will work in either option, but currently the chess.com voice commentary (Google Chrome extension that announces the moves) works only in "Play" and is no longer working in "Live Chess". 

Long story short: Use the "Play" menu option to get all the functionality you need to use a DGT board.  Just make sure when in "Play" you select "DGT Board" under Settings -> Board

Hi - I noticed the same changes, especially the switch of voice commentary from "Live" to "Play".

I'm having some issues though.  Sometimes chess.com stops recognizing input from the DGT board.  This tends to happen about 10 moves into the game.  Other times chss.com makes a move when nothing has moved on the board.  None of these things happen on LiChess, or playing against Fritz, so I don't think there is an issue with my DGT board. 

Do you have any issues like this on chess.com?

Using a Bluetooth DGT e-Board:

I've had the ghost move twice in the last month. Once when I got up and was on the other side of the room, my king took a pawn. The other time, I had my rook move under the opponents rook, effectively losing me the game. 

Same issues stated already. Disconnects in "Play" but not in "Live Chess"

Voice Commentary works in "Play" but not in "Live Chess" lost it about 3-7-2022.

Well, I think it is all "Play" now and no "Live Chess". I was using Chrome last week during a club tournament and none of my moves were being registered. Also, castling is a disaster, so don't ever try it on chess.com. We have a tournament tonight and I don't think I can risk using the DGT. I challenged a friend to blitz last night and it worked, but messed up castling. The bottom line is that I don't know when it is going to work, or not work. Any thoughts?
