Updated November 5, 2026 · 6 min read

StreamLive Pro Studio is free, professional streaming software for Windows and Mac. It goes live to several networks with your own stream keys. A StreamLive Pro account adds the platform: AI Shorts, scheduling, managed lives through your connected networks, and comments, with a 7-day free trial.

The Studio is in a 0.5.0 test version today and cannot be downloaded yet. The platform works now, in your browser. Below you will find where the line between them runs and when the platform is worth it. Each part links to the page that covers it in detail.

Two products, one account

The Studio is the way to get to know StreamLive Pro. It is not a replacement for the platform. Studio pages: StreamLive Pro Studio: free live production software, Windows and Mac, Is StreamLive Pro Studio free? Yes, and what the platform adds, StreamLive Pro Studio FAQ: is it free, release date, Mac.

What the free Studio gives you

Everything in StreamLive Pro Studio works for free, with no plan: switching (Preview, Program, Take and transitions), overlays, titles and lower thirds, green screen, the audio mixer, noise suppression, recording of the program and of every camera, PTZ control, NDI sources, capture cards and webcams, and the Simple, Studio, Broadcast and Gamer modes.

It also goes live to several networks at once for free. You paste each network's stream key, or add a custom RTMP or SRT output, and the Studio sends to all of them. Each output is a separate upload from your own connection, so three networks use about three times the upload of one. Check your upload speed before you add many outputs: Upload speed and bitrate for multistreaming.

When it is released, the download will be on streamlivepro.io after a free sign-up with Google or email. The same sign-up gives you a dashboard, so you can look at the platform while you use the Studio. Planned requirements: StreamLive Pro Studio system requirements: Windows, Mac, GPU.

What the platform adds

• Managed lives through your connected networks. You connect YouTube, Facebook and the other networks once in Connections. Then one upload goes to our servers, and they send it to each network, with a title per network. Your connection carries one stream, not one per network. See Connecting your channels — YouTube, Facebook and the rest.
• AI Shorts. After a live, vertical Shorts with captions are cut from it automatically, and you can also make them from any uploaded video. Review them before posting, because the AI can pick the wrong moment. See How to make Shorts from a live stream automatically.
• Scheduling. You can schedule lives and posts ahead of time, and publish to your networks from one place. See Schedule a live broadcast in advance and Schedule social media posts to several networks at once.
• Comments and management. Comments shows comments on what you published through StreamLive Pro, on networks whose connection allows it. Analytics shows how your lives and posts did.
• More cloud services. These include captions and translation, a podcast feed, and the phone as a camera.

The platform is a subscription. The 7-day free trial needs no card and does not turn into a paid plan by itself. What the trial includes: What the StreamLive Pro 7-day trial includes. How the plans differ: Which plan fits: Creator, Pro or Studio and /pricing?lang=en.

Which one do you need

Steps

1. Sign up for free. Create a StreamLive Pro account with Google or email. When the Studio is released, its download will be there too.
2. Try the platform. The account starts with the 7-day free trial, no card. Open Live stream and choose Browser Studio to go live from the browser.
3. Connect your networks. In Connections, connect the networks you stream to, so a live can reach them from one upload.
4. Go live once. Pick the networks, go live, and end the broadcast.
5. Look at what came out. Open Shorts for the Shorts cut from the live, and Comments for the comments on what you published.
6. Decide. If you only need production and your own stream keys, the free Studio is enough once it is released. If you want Shorts, scheduling, managed lives and comments, choose a plan (/pricing?lang=en).

Common mistakes

1. Thinking the free Studio is a trial. It is not. Everything in the Studio is free, and it does not expire.
2. Adding many stream keys on a weak connection. Each output in the Studio is a separate upload. If the picture breaks up, use fewer outputs, or use a managed live through the platform, which needs only one upload.
3. Expecting Shorts from the Studio alone. Shorts, captions, scheduling and comments are platform services. They are not part of the desktop app.
4. Waiting for the Studio to start. The platform's browser studio works today. You can build your show there now.
5. Expecting scheduling to go past your plan. A scheduled live or post cannot be set later than the end of the trial or the plan period. See I cannot schedule: "You can schedule up to" a date.
