We're thrilled to announce a significant update to the Live Aware Desktop Recorder, designed to make your playtesting workflow smoother and more efficient than ever before. We've listened to your feedback and implemented key changes that will enhance your experience from start to finish.

What's New?

  • Ultra-Low Latency, Revamped

    • Experience the next level of performance with our revamped ultra-low latency technology. We've significantly improved reliability and efficiency, resulting in smoother framerates, clearer picture quality, and dramatically less CPU usage. This means your streams will look and feel better than ever before.


  • Intuitive Event Selection

    • Say goodbye to the sidebar! We've integrated event selection directly into the stream/recording name, creating a cleaner and more streamlined interface.

    • Our new modal-based UI makes selecting your desired Event a breeze.


  • Enhanced Upload Workflow

    • Uploading videos post-capture is now a much smoother process. We've completely redesigned the interface for event selection, making it easier to organize your recordings.

    • You'll now find an improved UI for tracking upload progress within the post-capture modal, giving you clear visibility into the status of your uploads.

    • Also, we have added improved UI for tracking progress of uploads when in the primary capture set-up interface.


  • Clearer Playtester Pre-Stream Instructions

    • We've enhanced the Playtester Pre-Stream Instructions UI, ensuring your playtesters have all the information they need before going live.

    • A prominent button has been added that pops a modal window for pre-stream instructions.

Why This Matters

These updates are all about empowering you to focus on what matters most: creating incredible games. By simplifying the recording and upload process, we're giving you more time to analyze your playtest data and refine your game.

We'll Be at GDC!

We're excited to announce that we'll be attending GDC! We'd love to connect with you in person, show you the new features, and hear your feedback. Schedule a meeting with Travis at: go.liveaware.io/travis-at-gdc.
