Camo Studio 2.8.1.24340 released

Introducing Camo Studio 2.8

Camo Studio 2.8 is one of the biggest releases we’ve shipped yet, with a payload of new features and improvements that users can enjoy today. These include a suite of audio mixing tools on Windows, and support for web and chat layers, multistreaming, scene transitions, and more on macOS.

macOS

Camo Studio 2.8.0.23824 released

Today's update is one of the biggest Camo releases we've shipped.

Native chat with chat message layers brings your audience into the stream, and a new recording gallery makes it easy to browse, trim, and share what you've captured. We've also refreshed the whole app to match macOS's new Liquid Glass design. As usual, the release is packed with performance optimisations and fixes.
