Release notes

Videorc 0.9.66 Alpha 1

The Windows Alpha jumps from 0.9.51 to 0.9.66 in one update. Everything shipped on macOS since mid-August comes along — steadier cameras and scene changes, recording that recovers instead of refusing, Twitch connect that completes, X viewer counts — and the new Premium AI co-host for live chat (alpha).

This release is not currently available for public download.

All releases

Windows catches up — fifteen macOS releases in one Alpha, plus the co-host

  • Meet the co-host (alpha, Premium) — the Comments window groups the questions your chat is actually asking, drafts replies you approve with one key, and flags messages that need a moderator's eye. Nothing is ever sent without you.
  • Cameras stay steady through scene changes — switching layouts no longer restarts the camera, and the optional scene-motion glide is available (off by default).
  • Record recovers a tired camera instead of refusing — a degraded-but-alive device is restarted once, then recording proceeds with a warning rather than a dead button.
  • Connecting Twitch completes now — the device-code sign-in no longer authorizes into the void.
  • Livestream lessons — takeover mute, window-only comments, notes-only capture privacy, a stop that actually stops, and X viewer counts in the Comments window.
  • Notes-proof recording and real camera panning — the Notes window can't leak into a capture, and cover-crop camera scenes pan properly.

The Windows Alpha last shipped as 0.9.51 on 12 August. Since then macOS has had fifteen releases; this Alpha brings Windows level with 0.9.66 in a single update. The headline is the co-host: an AI producer for the Comments window that reads live chat during the stream, groups duplicate questions across Twitch and YouTube, ranks them, and drafts replies — you press R to take a draft into the composer, edit it, and ⌘/Ctrl+↩ sends it through the normal per-platform fan-out. It never posts on its own, it makes no AI calls while chat is quiet, and it is labelled alpha because grouping and tone will be tuned on real streams.

Underneath, the camera and scene work from 0.9.63–0.9.65 lands on Windows: every scene captures the full canvas, so switching presets never restarts the camera, and the compositor holds the last good frame through device restarts instead of flashing placeholders. Recording no longer refuses a degraded camera; it restarts the device once and proceeds with a warning. Twitch's device-code sign-in completes, X viewer counts show next to the chat, and the stream stop path, takeover mute, notes-only capture privacy and cover-crop panning fixes from the August livestream batches are all included.

As with 0.9.51, the installer and app are signed with Videorc's certificate; SmartScreen may still show a reputation notice while the certificate is young — the Windows Alpha page explains how to verify the download.
