About Switcher Studio
Switcher Studio's feed is a livestreaming how-to blog, not a changelog
The tracked feed for Switcher Studio is the company's marketing blog, and every recent entry is educational content aimed at people new to live streaming — camera settings, lighting setups, NDI, streaming from an iPhone, adding graphics to a Facebook Live broadcast. None of it announces a product change, so the product's actual release activity is not visible here.
