Edit sources live
Position, size, crop, properties and effects update immediately, including live. The contextual inspector follows your selection, with direct access to properties and crop controls.
Vidari Studio
Streaming software with Vidari already inside. Alerts, chat, points and ad breaks aren't a browser source you have to piece together — they're part of the program.
Windows 10/11 (64-bit)· macOS is in progress and not tested yet
Interface capture with a local sample project and synthetic video/audio signals.
More control. More confidence.
Your snapshots
Undo, redo and named snapshots. Your current work is also saved before restoring an earlier snapshot.
A preview that follows you
The frame follows your canvas format. Zoom with Ctrl+wheel or pan with the middle mouse button. Hidden previews pause while your output continues.
Prepare before going live
Check OBS imports first, try local alert demos, apply a shared channel design and preview diagnostic packages before exporting.
Keep sources together. Expand your groups.
Version 1.1.1 adds expandable source groups. Select sources with Ctrl+click and group them with Ctrl+G, or drag sources into and out of groups. Move, scale, hide and lock groups together while editing individual sources inside. Ctrl+Shift+G ungroups them and keeps their sources. Contents and expansion state are also saved in cloud projects.
Your camera. Your effects. Your cloud project.
Local AI removes or blurs your background, or replaces it with an image or video. Add shapes, masks, animated borders, beauty, face tracking, reactions, looks and privacy effects. Borders and avatars react to your voice; hotkeys and decks trigger presets and reactions.
Every signed-in account gets 2 GB of cloud storage: save scenes, sources, settings and media in Studio and open them later. Studio automatically downloads media into its cache, so restoring does not need the original files. Cameras and microphones remain device-specific. Stream keys and credentials stay local.
Spot active tracks instantly in advanced audio properties: theme colors, a subtle glow and checkmarks make routing easy to read.
One Studio. One coherent workspace.
Studio 1.2 adopts the Vidari dashboard design: charcoal surfaces, bright text and restrained green accents. The new navigation connects Studio, live production, projects and Vidari tools. A contextual inspector follows your source selection; longer settings scroll inside their panels. Previous themes and the first-launch gallery are retired. Scenes, sources and personal panel arrangements are preserved.
Your broadcast in motion.
Animate camera, gameplay and overlays on a visual timeline. Position, scale, rotation, opacity and volume have their own keyframes and smooth curves. Rehearse first, then start intentionally on air, including as part of your show actions.
Show control & privacy
Combine scenes, countdowns, effects and bot timers. Switch to a privacy scene on demand and return explicitly.
Community with control
Chat and channel-point actions with roles and cooldowns. Approve moderator proposals before they run.
Highlights in Studio
Save a replay, trim your moment and export your chosen portrait crop locally as MP4.
Take your setup with you
Portable projects with supported media and custom fonts. Update selected scene blocks with local-change checks.
Compare before applying
Compare explicitly prepared drafts before applying. Normal source changes take effect immediately, including during output. Device and browser changes are marked when a full visual preview is unavailable.
Audio, sources and recording
A fixed monitoring device for alerts and cue, level warnings, configurable fallbacks and storage checks. The session timeline records events and markers.
Your production. From guest to final cut.
Guests & phone camera
One-use invitations, a waiting room and explicit device permission. Camera, microphone and screen become separate sources. WebRTC uses direct connections; restrictive NAT needs an operator-configured TURN relay.
Team production
Scoped roles for direction and audio. Control scenes, graphic visibility and audio after individual host approval, with an audit trail.
Record separately. Edit together.
Record up to four direct video sources plus the program. Multicam preview, manual frame alignment, perspective cuts and MP4 export with continuous master audio. Automatic start offsets remain estimates.
Broadcast graphics
Lower thirds, scoreboards, guest introductions and news boards. Custom text and colors, real browser sources and live data updates.
A place for your conversation
Solo, interview, roundtable or audio podcast: assign cameras and microphones, record separate audio tracks and mark chapters during recording.
Directly to Vidari Video
Transfer recordings and ISO sessions into an editing project with resumable uploads. Matched markers and prepared audio stems stay editable. Vidari Video requires Premium; Studio itself remains free.
What's inside
Text labels & sources
Enter your text when adding a label. New sources open their properties automatically for font, camera, window and other settings.
Studio mode
On the left you work on a scene, on the right runs what goes out. Only “Transition” pushes one onto the other — so you can change a scene without your viewers watching you do it.
Multistream (planned)Coming soon
Sending to YouTube, Kick and TikTok at once is technically finished: encoded once on your graphics card, sent once per destination — no detour through someone else's server. How it will be offered is not decided yet; as soon as it is, it will be here.
Audio tracks per output
Recording, replay, live stream and the Twitch archive each pick their own tracks. That keeps the music in the live stream and out of the VOD — Twitch mutes archives with recognised music.
Alerts and chat built in
No hunting for a URL, copying it, guessing a size. You pick the overlay from a list and Vidari Studio creates the source — at the right size, with the right address.
Ads, clip, marker
The things you need mid-game — as a button, as a keyboard shortcut and on the Macro Deck. The clip's address lands in your clipboard right away.
Report after the broadcast
How cleanly it ran, how many watched, what happened, which files came out of it. A verdict in one word — and the numbers below it, set against how long you were on air.
One design
Vidari Mint: one consistent dark, flat design across all windows. The colours of the record, camera and replay buttons stay as they are — that's how you find them without reading.
Microphone setup
An assistant measures your voice and the quiet of your room — and builds the whole filter chain from it: gain, noise suppression, noise gate, compressor, tone, limiter. Fixed presets would be wrong for half of everyone: a large-diaphragm mic on an interface and a headset are easily thirty decibels apart. Which microphone and which desktop audio are used at all you pick under Settings → Audio — or right in the audio properties, next to volume and tracks.
Four languages
German, English, French, Spanish. On first start your Windows language is suggested — you still decide.
Go vertical
A second 9:16 output for TikTok, Shorts and Reels — with its own scenes, not a crop of your main picture. You build them once, then both outputs run side by side; each vertical scene can follow a horizontal one.
Your OBS setup
Scenes, sources, position, size, filters and audio — taken over unchanged, groups included. Saved in the same format: you can go back any time.
A mixing desk, not a form
Every audio source is a channel strip like on a real desk: upright meter with a decibel scale, upright fader, mute, filters. A lamp latches on clipping and stays lit for three more seconds — otherwise nobody ever sees it, because clipping lasts milliseconds.
Chat on the second screen
Every tile — chat, mixer, scenes, activity — can be detached into its own window: through the button in the tile header, or by simply dragging it out of the window. It opens where you let go.
Stream Deck and Macro Deck
Two plugins, both inside the app under “Plugins”: your Elgato Stream Deck operates Vidari Studio and the keys light up with it — scene, recording, stream, replay buffer. Through Macro Deck your phone or tablet becomes a second deck.
DiscordComing soon
Your Discord status shows that you are live — title, category, viewer count and a “Watch” button below it. Plus your voice channel as a source: whoever speaks lights up. Discord just has to be running; there is nothing to sign into.
Spotify
What you are listening to goes to your Now Playing overlay and answers “!music” in chat. Next, previous and pause sit on a key and on the Stream Deck. No sign-in, works with Spotify Free — the client on your machine is what gets read.
VTube Studio
Every hotkey of your model becomes an action — on a key, on the Stream Deck, or triggered by your channel: a raid, and the avatar waves. The mapping lives in your account and follows you to a second machine.
Round cameras, one click
With a source selected, a bar sits under the preview: rectangle, rounded square, circle, vertical 9:16 crop — plus opacity and blend mode. The circle is computed for your camera resolution rather than taken from a fixed file; a 16:9 picture is cropped square from the centre first, so it never turns into an ellipse.
CUE and ducking
One button on the channel strip puts an audio source on your headphones without changing the stream — exactly when you are setting up gate and compressor. And per source you choose which channel turns it down: the music drops as soon as you speak and comes back up on its own.
Customise widgets in Studio
Fourteen of seventeen widgets are set right next to the canvas instead of in a browser tab: alerts per type (on, duration, volume, colour, animation, font, image and text size, both positions), chat, goal, leaderboard, song requests and the boards. They are the same settings as in the dashboard, just where you are actually working.
Blur
A soft background behind your camera, a gentle still during the break: blur is a single slider in the filter window. Cut-out sources get no dark fringe — edges are computed with premultiplied alpha. With an NVIDIA RTX card you also get background blur and cutting yourself out without a green screen.
Effects with real controls
Drop shadow, glow, directional blur, tritone, gradient, venetian blinds, bulge and more — thirteen effects OBS does not ship. Each with named sliders instead of a file picker for shader files: if you want a shadow, you find offset, softness and colour.
Change it without anyone watching
In studio mode the scene you're working on is on the left and the one being broadcast is on the right. The two are colour-coded — red is on air, turquoise is queued up. A click in the scene list switches the preview, not the program.
Only the transition button pushes one onto the other, using the transition you've already set.
After the broadcast: did that run cleanly?
The numbers were always there — dropped frames, followers, viewers. Until now they vanished when you closed the program. Now there's a report at the end with a verdict in one word.
And it's set in proportion: 240 dropped frames are nothing over three hours and a lot over ten minutes. The last twenty reports stay next to your recordings.
Your language. Your Studio.
The first start takes a minute
- 1Pick a language — with a flag, your Windows language is suggested
- 2Connect your Twitch channel — in your own browser, we never see your password
- 3Take over your OBS setup — or press “Set it up for me”
After that a finished skeleton is standing: start, gameplay, pause and end — with screen, camera, chat and alerts. An existing setup is never overwritten.
