StreamLive Pro Studio FAQ: is it free, release date, Mac

Answers about StreamLive Pro Studio, the free desktop app for Windows and Mac: release date, download, what is free, the platform, Mac, guests, PTZ and recording.

Updated November 5, 2026 · 4 min read

StreamLive Pro Studio is the desktop live production app from StreamLive Pro for Windows and Mac, and today it is a 0.5.0 test version that nobody outside testing can download. There is no release date and no store listing yet. It is free software: when it is released it is free to download and use, 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.

The questions below are the ones people ask most. Each answer reflects the state on 5 November 2026; this page changes when that state changes.

Status at a glance

Why there is no download yet

Version 0.5.0 is a release candidate: the features for this version are built and tested, and what is left is packaging. The team does not publish builds that Windows or macOS would warn you about before they open, so the public download waits for signed installers. On Windows, test builds exist and are used by the team. On the Mac, the 0.5.0 build is still being tested. No date has been announced, and any date you see elsewhere is not from StreamLive Pro.

What is in the 0.5.0 test version

None of this is available to the public until release, but it shows what the app is for:

• Switching: Preview and Program with Take, Cut, transitions and a T-bar; 8 overlay channels; layouts and picture in picture; Multiview on any screen.
• Graphics: titles and lower thirds in Hebrew, English and Arabic; green screen on any input.
• Recording: quality presets (Standard, High, Very high, Near lossless); the program and every camera to its own file, MP4 or MKV; recordings stay on your computer.
• Cameras and sound: PTZ control (VISCA over IP, Panasonic, ONVIF); every channel of an audio interface as its own source; RNNoise noise suppression; a picture and sound sync test; Check my gear for camera, microphone, speakers and upload.
• Working style: Simple, Studio and Broadcast modes; Hebrew and English with a full right-to-left layout; an auto director that cuts to whoever speaks, off by default.
• Going live: with a stream key you paste and the app checks, and to the networks in your StreamLive Pro account in the newest test build.

What is not in 0.5.0

• Remote guests. Built, but switched off in this version until they are tested with guests outside the studio network.
• Captions and translation during a live broadcast. Not released.
• A public download and store listings. Neither exists yet.

How it will work with your account

You will sign in to the app with a StreamLive Pro account. Production on your computer does not go through our servers, so it is free, and so is going live yourself to several networks at once with your own stream keys. Managed lives are different: the app uploads one stream and our servers send it to each network in your account, and the same account can cut Shorts and publish them. That is part of the StreamLive Pro platform, exactly as in the browser studio. Plans: /pricing?lang=en.

Before you plan around it

• Build today's shows on what exists: the browser studio (Live stream > Browser Studio) works on the trial and on every plan, and Stream from software like OBS (RTMP / SRT) lets OBS, vMix or another encoder send one stream to StreamLive Pro on a paid plan.
• Check the planned requirements before buying a computer: StreamLive Pro Studio system requirements: Windows, Mac, GPU.
• Watch /desktop?lang=en: the download links will appear there when it is released.

Frequently asked questions

When will StreamLive Pro Studio be released?

There is no date. Version 0.5.0 is a release candidate, and the public download waits for signed installers so that Windows and macOS do not show a warning before the app opens.

Can I download a test build?

No. Test builds are not published, because an unsigned build makes Windows and macOS warn you before it opens.

Is it in the Microsoft Store or the Mac App Store?

No. It is not listed in any store. Any page that offers it for download today is not from StreamLive Pro.

Is StreamLive Pro Studio free?

Yes. StreamLive Pro Studio is free, professional streaming software, and everything in it works for free: switching, overlays, titles, green screen, the mixer, recording, PTZ, NDI and going live to several networks at once 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. It is not downloadable yet: version 0.5.0 is in testing.

What does a StreamLive Pro account add?

The StreamLive Pro platform: AI Shorts cut from your lives, scheduling of lives and posts, managed lives through your connected networks (one upload, our servers send it to each network), comments on what you published, analytics and publishing. The account also connects the Studio to cloud features such as the phone as a camera. The platform is a subscription with a 7-day free trial and no card; everything in the Studio itself works for free without it.

Does it run on a Mac?

It is built for macOS 13 or later and tested on Apple silicon. The 0.5.0 Mac build is still being tested, and Intel Macs are not tested yet.

Which Windows versions will it need?

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, with a DirectX 12 graphics card from NVIDIA, AMD or Intel. It was tested on Windows 11 with an NVIDIA RTX card.

Can it record every camera to its own file?

In the 0.5.0 test version, yes: the program and every camera can each go to their own file with sound, as MP4 or as MKV with an MP4 copy made when you stop.

Does it control PTZ cameras?

The 0.5.0 test version controls PTZ cameras over VISCA over IP, Panasonic and ONVIF, with pan, tilt, zoom and saved positions.

Can I bring remote guests in?

Not in 0.5.0. Guests are built but switched off in this version. Use the browser studio for guests today.

Is the interface in Hebrew?

The 0.5.0 test version has Hebrew and English with a full right-to-left layout, and titles in Hebrew, English and Arabic.

Will it have live captions or live translation?

Not in 0.5.0. Captions and translation during a live broadcast are not released. Captions on Shorts after the broadcast already work in the StreamLive Pro web service.

Do I have to give up OBS or vMix?

No. You can keep them today and send their output to StreamLive Pro over RTMP or SRT on a paid plan, and decide about the desktop app once it is out.
