StreamLive ProStreamLive Pro Studio: free live production software, Windows and Mac
StreamLive Pro Studio is free live production software for Windows and Mac, in a 0.5.0 test version that is not downloadable yet. What it does, what to use now.
StreamLive Pro Studio is the desktop live production app from StreamLive Pro, built for Windows and Mac. Today it is a 0.5.0 test version (a release candidate): it is not publicly downloadable, there is no release date, and it is not listed in any app store. It is free software: when it is released you download it and produce, record and go live with your own stream keys at no cost, and a StreamLive Pro account adds the platform: AI Shorts, scheduling, managed lives through your connected networks, and comments, with a 7-day free trial.
This page collects everything in one place: what the app is, what the test version does, how it compares with OBS Studio, vMix and Streamlabs Desktop, what computer it needs, and how to produce your shows until it is out.
Status on 5 November 2026
- Version: 0.5.0, release candidate.
- Download: none yet. The download links will appear on /desktop?lang=en when it is released. Until then the buttons there say "Coming soon".
- Why the wait: the team is waiting for signed installers. An unsigned build makes Windows and macOS show a warning before it opens, so test builds are not published.
- Windows: builds exist and are used for testing.
- Mac: the Mac build of 0.5.0 is still being tested.
- Stores: it is not in the Microsoft Store or the Mac App Store. Do not trust a store page or a download site that claims to offer it.
What the 0.5.0 test version does
Everything below was built and tested for 0.5.0. None of it is available to the public today, because the app is not released.
Production on your computer
- Preview and Program with Take, Cut, transitions and a T-bar.
- 8 overlay channels, layouts and picture in picture.
- Titles and lower thirds in Hebrew, English and Arabic.
- Green screen on any input.
- An audio mixer with loudness metering.
- An automatic director that cuts to whoever speaks. It is off by default.
- Multiview on any screen.
- Simple, Studio and Broadcast modes. Simple and Studio use plain words such as "Main picture" and "Next shot"; the professional terms (PGM, PVW, LUFS) are in the tooltips and in Broadcast mode.
- Hebrew and English interface, with a full right-to-left layout.
Recording
- Recording quality in plain choices: Standard, High, Very high or Near lossless, each with its bitrate and how many GB an hour it takes. Resolution and 30 or 60 frames per second.
- The program and every camera can each go to its own file, with sound, as MP4, or as MKV with an MP4 copy made when you stop. MKV survives a power cut.
- Recordings stay in a folder you choose. Nothing is uploaded.
Cameras and sound
- PTZ camera control: finds IP, NDI and PTZ cameras on your network, with pan, tilt, zoom and saved positions. Works with VISCA over IP, Panasonic and ONVIF cameras.
- Every channel of an audio interface can be its own source with its own meter.
- Noise suppression with RNNoise, a model that runs on your computer. It adds about 10 ms of delay.
- A picture and sound sync test that measures the gap and suggests the delay to fix it.
- Check my gear: one click checks the camera, the microphone, the speakers and your upload speed.
Going live
- Go live with a stream key: paste it, the app checks it, and the destination turns on.
- Going live to the networks in your StreamLive Pro account, one upload and many networks, is in the newest test build. It is part of the StreamLive Pro platform (subscription or 7-day free trial); going live yourself to several networks with your own stream keys is free.
Not in 0.5.0
- Remote guests: built, but switched off in this version. How they are meant to work: Remote guests in StreamLive Pro Studio (desktop app).
- Captions and translation during a live broadcast: not released.

System requirements
- Windows: Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, and a graphics card with DirectX 12 (NVIDIA, AMD or Intel). Tested on Windows 11 with an NVIDIA RTX card.
- Mac: macOS 13 (Ventura) or later. Tested on a Mac with Apple silicon. Intel Macs are not tested yet.
- Disk: recording several cameras at once needs a fast drive with free space. The app shows how many hours are left.
- Internet: recording and switching work on the computer itself; signing in and going live need the internet.
These may change before release. Full list: StreamLive Pro Studio system requirements: Windows, Mac, GPU.
What is free, and what the platform adds
StreamLive Pro Studio is free, professional streaming software, and everything in it works for free: 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, the Simple, Studio, Broadcast and Gamer modes, and going live to several networks at once with your own stream keys or custom RTMP and SRT outputs (each output is its own upload from your connection). A StreamLive Pro account adds the platform: AI Shorts, scheduling, managed lives through your connected networks (one upload, our servers send it to each network) and comments, with a 7-day free trial. The Studio is the way to get to know StreamLive Pro, not a replacement for the platform. When it is released, the download will be on streamlivepro.io after a free sign-up with Google or email.

Until it is released
You do not need to wait to run a show.
- Use the browser studio. In StreamLive Pro open Live stream and choose Browser Studio. It runs in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox on Windows or Mac, with Preview and Program, overlays, guests by link, a phone as a camera, and Shorts after the broadcast. It works on the 7-day trial. See /browser-studio?lang=en.
- Keep OBS or vMix and send it to StreamLive Pro. Choose Stream from software like OBS (RTMP / SRT), copy the server and key into your software and stream once. Our servers send that stream to every network you picked. This needs a paid plan; the trial is browser studio only. Steps: Streaming from OBS or vMix with RTMP.
- Compare the routes before you invest in gear: Browser studio, OBS or a desktop app: which to stream from.
Common mistakes
- Downloading from an unofficial site. There is no public build. Anything offered as a StreamLive Pro Studio download today is not from us.
- Planning an event around a release date. There is none. Build the show on the browser studio or your current software.
- Expecting guests in 0.5.0. They are switched off. Use the browser studio for guests today.
- Buying an Intel Mac for it. Intel Macs are not tested yet.
