Release notes
Videorc 0.9.24 Beta 1
The app now opens fully formed instead of shifting into place, the glass background and hidden notes no longer leak what they shouldn't, in-progress recordings look right in the Library, and your stream title and category now reach every platform.
Steadier launch, more private glass, and stream details that reach every platform
- The app opens fully formed — no more flashing and shifting while everything loads in the first second.
- The glass background no longer lets text from windows behind Videorc show through.
- A recording in progress now appears in the Library as a live entry with a pulsing indicator and running time, instead of a broken row.
- Your stream title, category, and description now reach every connected platform — including Twitch over a manual stream key.
- Hovering hidden notes during a capture no longer changes the cursor and gives them away.
The app opens fully formed
Launching Videorc used to show an empty window that filled in piece by piece — the background popped in, buttons appeared, and the theme could flash for a frame. The window now stays hidden until the first real frame is ready, the glass backdrop is prepared before the window exists, and the theme is resolved before anything is drawn. What you see first is what you get.
More private glass
The glass look kept a hint of transparency to whatever sat behind the app — enough that sharp text behind Videorc could faintly be read through it, which is not what you want on a screen share. The frost is now nearly opaque: same glass depth, nothing legible bleeding through.
The same idea applies to hidden notes: the notes window is invisible to your recording, but hovering it changed the mouse cursor to a text cursor — and the cursor IS captured. It now stays a normal arrow, so your notes stay your secret.
The Library tells the truth while you record
Starting a recording or stream used to drop a broken-looking row into the Library — missing thumbnail, blank duration. That entry is now a proper live row: a pulsing indicator, a Recording or Streaming label, and the elapsed time ticking up. When you stop, it becomes a normal recording with its thumbnail.
Stream details reach every platform
Your stream title, category, and description are now delivered to each connected platform when you go live — including Twitch when you stream with a manual stream key. For X, Videorc is now honest about what X supports: a single switch controls whether going live posts an announcement to your timeline.
Small things
- The light/dark theme shortcut (D) is now listed with every other shortcut in Settings.
