What we've shipped.

A no-login green-room link guests just click, shared inputs that stay inside the studio that owns them, mid-stream YouTube enable, and a round of streaming-reliability work.

• New

  Open green-room join links

  Share one reusable studio link and guests join the green room straight from the browser. No per-guest invite, no account, no install. Hosts turn it on per studio.

• Improved

  Studio-scoped shared inputs

  Shared inputs stay scoped to the studio that owns them, only the creator can add a source from one, and duplicate source rows are de-duped so a feed shows up once.

• Improved

  Enable YouTube mid-stream

  Turn on a YouTube destination after you’re already live. TRaX creates and transitions the broadcast without dropping the show.

• Fix

  Streaming reliability

  Encoder hardening across the board: smoother live SRT decode, no black-stream when an audio-only source has no publisher, steadier vertical (9:16) output, and cleaner teardown on go-offline.

Smarter composition that re-flows as guests come and go, a phone-friendly studio, and an overhauled audio mixer with true pre-fader listen.

• New

  Auto-layouts with smooth transitions

  Preset layouts re-flow automatically as guests join and leave, with smooth animated transitions. Sticky seats keep people in place between scenes, and drag-to-reorder lets you arrange tiles on the fly.

• New

  Punch-in zoom and per-source fit

  Zoom and crop into any feed without leaving the canvas, and set how each source fits its slot (contain or stretch).

• New

  Mobile studio

  Run the show from your phone: a dedicated mobile studio with its own tabbed layout, including a talkback tab for field reporters.

• Improved

  Audio mixer overhaul

  True pre-fader listen (PFL), honest VU metering, and per-source volume folded into the wire so what you hear is what you broadcast.

Read and reply to every platform’s chat from one panel, with moderation, emotes, and delivery confirmations, plus Stream Deck control.

• New

  Unified multi-platform chat

  One merged chat panel across YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Trovo, and more. Read, reply, send emotes, and see ✓/✓✓ delivery confirmations on outbound messages.

• New

  Chat moderation + Twitch ad controls

  Ban, timeout, and delete messages from the chat panel on supported platforms. Trigger Twitch mid-roll ad breaks (and snooze the next scheduled one) without leaving the studio.

• New

  Stream Deck + control surfaces

  Pair a Stream Deck (and other surfaces) to drive the studio with physical buttons.

Hold guests before they go on air, talk back to field reporters off-air, and a guided tour for new operators.

• New

  Green rooms with hand-raise

  Invite guests into a green room and bring them on when they’re ready. Hand-raise ordering, a guest cap, and invite links keep the pre-show organized.

• New

  Talk channels / talkback

  Talk privately to field reporters and guests off-air over a dedicated talk channel.

• Improved

  Onboarding tour

  A spotlight tour walks new operators through the studio the first time they open it.

Identity now runs on self-hosted Zitadel v4. Studios can be shared with collaborators by role, and stream-key safety is improved across the board.

• New

  Per-studio collaboration (VIEW / EDIT / ADMIN)

  Invite collaborators to a studio by email with explicit role. EDIT collaborators can run the show; VIEW collaborators can watch the operator surface without seeing stream keys.

• Security

  Stream keys + OAuth tokens encrypted at rest

  AES-GCM encryption applied to all destination credentials. Existing pasted keys migrate transparently on next use.

• Improved

  Self-hosted Zitadel identity

  TRaX now runs its own Zitadel v4 instance in-cluster. OIDC redirect flow with PKCE. MFA available; MFA-enforcement policies configurable per org.

• Fix

  Destination connect: no more silent panics

  AES-GCM decryption now returns a clean error instead of panicking on edge-case nonce lengths, fixing intermittent 502s when connecting destinations.

A real OBS-style scene canvas in the browser plus an opt-in GPU-backed cloud encoder fleet for thermally-demanding shows.

• New

  Browser scene canvas

  Free-form source placement, layering, and live switching. Build scenes in the operator UI exactly the way you would in a desktop switcher.

• New

  Cloud encoder fleet

  Opt in per show to route the encode through our NVIDIA/AMD/Intel GPU fleet. Host laptop stays cool. Browser encoding is still the default.

• Improved

  Vertical 9:16 destination output

  Toggle per destination. TRaX routes the broadcast through a 9:16 crop for TikTok / Reels / Shorts targets while keeping a 16:9 main feed.

OAuth-backed destinations for the big platforms plus arbitrary RTMP targets in the same studio. One canvas, many endpoints.

• New

  OAuth destinations for YouTube, Twitch, Kick, and Trovo

  Connect once, reuse across studios. No more pasted stream keys for major platforms. Facebook and LinkedIn OAuth are in progress.

• New

  Custom RTMP destinations

  Any RTMP target works: event platforms (Hopin, Vimeo, Bizzabo), recording archives (Mux, Bunny, Cloudflare Stream), and niche regional platforms.

• Improved

  Per-destination preview + status

  See which destinations are connected, healthy, and currently receiving frames, without leaving the operator surface.

Guests join with a URL. No account, no install. Producers can share approved inputs across hosts so the team's not fighting over a camera.

• New

  Guest join links

  Send a URL. The guest opens it in any modern browser and is in the studio. They never sign up, never see TRaX pricing.

• New

  Shared inputs across hosts

  A producer can publish an input (camera, screen, media file) and grant access to other hosts. Switch between them on the canvas.

• Improved

  Participant presence

  See every participant currently in the studio, their mic/cam status, and whether they’re currently on the canvas.
