Scope of this page

This page is intentionally short to reduce stale or cached snippets.

• Only highlights from the last 120 days are kept here.

• Current window: November 9, 2025 to March 9, 2026.

• Anything older should be removed after the permanent docs are updated.

• This page is not a long-term changelog archive.

Recent highlights (rolling)

• Approval-system room controls Added &requireapproval, &roomcap / &rcap, and &roomkey / &rk for claimed-room admission control. Trusted room keys can bypass approval and cap checks. These controls are tied to the current director session.

• Queue and co-director sync improvements Held-guest activation state now syncs correctly to co-directors through the normal director state flow, and &hold / &holdwithvideo activation behavior is documented in line with the current code path.

• Chunked/WebCodecs reliability controls Recent chunked work includes &chunkfec, &chunknack, &chunkbuffer, &chunkbufferfloor, &chunkbufferceil, &chunkjitterslack, &chunkadapt, and &chunkprofile for opt-in reliability, buffering, and adaptation experiments.

• PTZ and recovery controls Added or expanded &autorelay, &pendingicettl, low-latency chunked presets, PTZ remote actions, and the dedicated PTZ control surface at https://vdo.ninja/ptz.html.

• Standalone helper app growth New public helper surfaces now include the standalone Screen Recorder, Game Capture app, Ninja OBS Plugin, and Ninja VST3 Plugin.

Editor maintenance rule

• Add highlights only for recent changes inside the active rolling window.

• For each highlight, ensure a stable doc page exists in the correct section.

• Remove highlights when they age out of the window.
