You can even pop out each individual Dock to its own window. - Choose from a number of different and customizable transitions for when you switch between your scenes or add your own stinger video files. - Set hotkeys for nearly every sort of action, such as switching between scenes, starting/stopping streams or recordings, muting audio sources, push to talk, and more. - Studio Mode lets you preview your scenes and sources before pushing them live. Adjust your scenes and sources or create new ones and ensure they're perfect before your viewers ever see them. - Get a high level view of your production using the Multiview.

- Flatpak sandbox
- Wide access
Runs in a sandbox, but a broad part of it is open — typical for tools that need to manage your files or system. It shows what the app is able to do, not what it does.
What it can access
- Reads and changes all your files
- Can run programs outside its sandbox
- Can access all devices, including cameras and USB
- Uses the internet
- Plays and records audio
