Release notes
Videorc 0.9.27 Beta 1
Backgrounds now change instantly while you're live, the microphone meter reacts the moment you speak, duplicate "Fallback" microphone entries are gone, alarming error pop-ups that fired while everything worked are fixed, and a silent comments feed now tells you how to fix it.
Live sessions feel right — instant backgrounds, a real mic meter, no false alarms
- Clicking a background asset changes your live scene immediately — no layout switch needed to see it.
- The microphone meter is now truly live, reacting the instant you speak with a peak marker, even before you start recording.
- Duplicate "Fallback - …" microphone entries are gone, and setups stuck on one are moved back to the real microphone automatically.
- Fixed false "preview proof was not observed" error pop-ups that appeared during live sessions while everything was working fine.
- If comments can't connect — like Twitch needing a reconnect — Videorc now says so when you go live, with a one-click path to fix it.
Backgrounds apply instantly while live
Picking a background asset used to update only the selection — your stream and preview kept the old background until you changed the layout. Now the moment you click an asset (or adjust its style, or remove it), the live scene updates immediately.
A microphone meter that's actually live
The mic level bar in the Studio used to nudge once a second and barely move. It's been rebuilt as a real-time meter: it tracks your voice syllable-by-syllable, holds a small peak marker so you can see your loudest moment, works before you start recording, and drops to zero when you mute.
No more duplicate "Fallback" microphones
Every microphone appeared twice in the picker — once normally and once as a "Fallback - …" entry that didn't capture properly. Worse, fresh setups could start on the broken fallback by default. The duplicates are gone, each microphone is listed once, and if your setup was stuck on a fallback entry it is switched back to the real microphone automatically.
Fewer scary pop-ups during live sessions
Changing layouts or scenes while streaming could show red errors like "preview proof was not observed" even though everything on stream was fine. Those checks now understand fast scene switching and a preview paused behind a dialog, so they only speak up when something is genuinely wrong — and in the rare case the preview verification simply lags, you get a calm note instead of an alarm.
Comments tell you when they need help
If live comments can't connect for one of your destinations — for example Twitch wants you to reconnect your account — Videorc now shows a clear warning when you go live and a button in the Comments panel that takes you straight to the fix. An empty comments feed no longer leaves you guessing. The comments panel also shows which account's chat you're reading.
