Playtest Management Levels Up!

Ready to level up your playtesting game? We are so excited to release a series of game-changing improvements that will streamline your process and help you gather feedback like never before. We've listened to your many suggestions and ideas and have been working hard to make playtesting a breeze, so you can focus on what really matters: creating games that players will absolutely love!

The Community section has been renamed Playtesters, which is now dedicated to organizing your project's playtester group. When creating an event, you'll also create a playtest group, and each playtester will be clearly labeled as either Internal (team member) or External (non-team member).

For each Event, you will find a unique Playtest Setup section where you can specify the playtest group and provide customized playtest instructions. You can now easily send emails to your playtesters with all the necessary information, instructions, test schedule, Live Aware Recorder download link, and a handy "Getting Started" guide.

Internal Playtesters will now receive a custom link that automatically opens and configures the Live Aware Desktop Recorder with just one click. This feature is available in the latest version of our recorder, which includes several other enhancements. To learn more, read our post, Desktop Recorder Gets Simplified Experience & Powerful New Features. Based on your feedback, we plan to extend the one-click streaming feature to External Playtesters in the future.

Streamline your playtests, get crystal-clear feedback, and ship games players absolutely love! For more detail on how to run playtests with Live Aware, check out our new dedicated help article, Creating and Managing Playtests. Let us know what you think as you take these features for a spin. We're committed to making Live Aware the very best playtesting solution possible!
