The biggest Videorc week yet

  • Stream landscape and 9:16 at once, to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Vertical alongside YouTube, Twitch and X.
  • Orcle, your live chat co-host, with custom rules, richer flags and Suggested badges.
  • The Stream Manager puts live viewers, chat and stream health in one window, and a phone on Wi-Fi can run comments and controls.
  • Change camera, microphone or screen mid-record or mid-stream, and switch saved scenes without stopping.
  • Light mode now reaches the Stream Manager, Notes and Captions, not just the main window.

Videorc can now take one session to landscape and portrait destinations together, keep chat in the room with Orcle, and let you change the picture without tearing down the take. Light mode now covers every window.

Go Live

One Go Live can send your landscape scene to YouTube, Twitch and X while your saved vertical scene streams to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Vertical. The portrait picture is a real 9:16 composition of your sources, never a crop of the landscape frame. Landscape destinations share one encode and vertical destinations share the other, so going wide costs upload bandwidth, not a pile of extra encodes.

In Livestream → Upcoming, schedule an X broadcast with a title, description, thumbnail, start time, planned end and whether the replay stays available, then choose Go Live when you are ready. Nothing starts on its own. YouTube events sit in their own Upcoming section. Public builds still cannot connect a YouTube account while Google approval is pending.

Chat and Orcle

Orcle is your live chat co-host. Write custom rules in plain language (no spoilers, English only), see richer flags when a message is a problem, and look for a Suggested badge on comments worth putting on stream. You still decide. Orcle never posts without you.

Comments from a native X broadcast now land in the same studio feed as YouTube and Twitch, with names and avatars. If you already authorized X Live, they just start arriving.

Studio and layouts

Change your camera, microphone, display or window while you record or stream. The file keeps writing and your destinations stay connected. Videorc shows the change as pending until the new source is really in use, and tells you if a device could not switch so you can retry.

Save a complete scene (sources, layout, framing, background) and return to it, including while recording. Each layout remembers its own framing. Search the source picker, set your own layout shortcuts, and arrange the canvas by hand: drag, resize, type exact sizes, or choose Freeform and place sources anywhere.

Stream Manager and remote

The Chat window is now the Stream Manager: live viewers (including X), followers, subs, tips, an activity feed and stream health next to your chat. Open it from the status bar, or turn on Open Stream Manager when I go live.

A phone on the same Wi-Fi becomes a chat monitor and a control deck. Scan a QR code in Settings. There is nothing to install. Tap a message to put it on stream, switch scenes, mute, or press and hold to stop.

Light mode everywhere

Light mode used to stop at the main window: the Stream Manager, Notes and Captions stayed dark. They now follow the app theme. Turn on light mode from the sidebar, the command palette or the D key, and every open window switches with it, glass included. The detached Preview stays dark in both themes, because it frames your video.

Reliability

Videorc can measure your computer with a few short test recordings and recommend an output it can actually hold. Run the check from the Recording tab whenever you like. Every window now sits on real macOS glass.

This build keeps the 0.9.106 fix for the microphone dropouts that started in 0.9.103: microphone audio has a full second of headroom and keeps flowing even while the file writer is briefly held up. If audio is ever lost, the session log says how much and why.
