VDO.Ninja is now natively supported by OBS on macOS. Update to v26.1.2 on macOS to access!
Remote control local-media recording as been added to the Director's room as an option -- experimental, but a great way to record remote guests for post-processing. (Guest will need to upload the record file manually after the recording is stopped.)
The &record flag is available now, which lets a guest record their own video by providing a RECORD button to their control bar.
The default recording bitrate is 6000-kbps /w 130-kbps OPUS audio, but it can be set by the director remotely or passed as a value to &record=NNN
Setting the recording bitrate to 0 will enable Audio-only 32-bit PCM recording (webM container); negative values will record OPUS audio (no video).
Supports Chrome, Firefox, Android, but not yet Safari.
has been created to allow for quick conversion of WebM container formats to other formats, such as MP4 or WAV. Attempts to also support videos with variable resolutions.
Transcription /w Closed Captioning overlay has been added, although experimental. Uses default system mic as a source and cannot be muted.
&transcribe=en-US (or just &trans; added to the publisher).
&closedcaptions (will display the incoming text).
Won't work with Safari.
&fontsize=100 can let you set font-size of the closed captions
When creating a room, recommendations on room name selection and password usage is now offered.
Audio network connection logic has been enhanced some more; addressing potential audio connection issues.
Buttons when muted/disabled turn RED; versus just remain grey. Lots of related UI/UX fixes like this.
If you leave &push blank, it will auto assign a relatively secure stream ID for you now, automatically.
&fontsize=100 applies also to the &label / &showlabel font-size.
Safari 14 on iOS will no longer ask for mic permissions if JUST viewing a webRTC stream.
improvements made to the stats debug window (CTRL + LeftClick). More readable, hints for stereo provided, etc.
A guest of a room can no longer access the audio/video advanced settings, such as echo-cancellation. Only the Director can.
iOS devices now support &stereo for the purpose of high quality audio playback on iOS.
The control bar can be dragged around on desktop. I prefer this over making videos smaller.
Support for non-Latin characters are supported now with custom guest labels, text messages, and with CC/transcriptions.
Made interface more accessible to the blind and those without a mouse. Tabbing around works with the main elements/buttons.
The Director can now STOP audio/video publishing after they have started it; screen share also now available for Directors.
Director can dynamically edit/add a label for a remote guest in the control room.
Director's room has been stylized; invite and scene link options have been consolidated a bit.
&mono flag added. Lets a viewer force mono even if the &stereo flag is set.
&cleanish flag is added; same as &cleanoutput, except shows the playbutton.
More short-code aliases for common URL Parameters have been created.
&order=N is a new parameter; let's you sort/reorder videos in a scene based on their ordered priority. Also dynamically controllable by the Director.
Gyroscopic, accelerometer, magnetometer data is accessible now. Enable with &sensor=30 (30hz). Results show up in the remote stats log or the remote IFRAME API. Useful for VR live streaming support, where you want to capture a smartphone's movement, as well as video.
Link obfuscation is available as a toggle now in the Director's room and create-reusable invite link page ().
