The free live studiofor your PC
Native engine, GPU compositing and NVENC encoding: Stratu Studio delivers 1080p60 on about 5% CPU. Scenes, mixer, Studio Mode and multiple outputs, for free.
The Windows installer is coming soon. The free account already works, and it's the same on your PC, your phone and the dashboard.
Local or with the Stratu cloud: same account, same scenes, on your PC or on the server.
With a cloud plan, Stratu Studio can also use the phone sending to your Stratu ingest as a source.
Genuinely lightweight.
Stratu Studio runs on our own native engine, built in C++ and GStreamer: compositing and preview happen on the graphics card, encoding on NVENC. That leaves CPU for your game, your camera and you.

Measured in our tests at 1080p60 with NVENC (Windows, NVIDIA RTX GPU). Real usage varies with your PC and scenes.
A complete live studio. Free and genuinely lightweight.
GPU compositing
Scenes are composited on the graphics card (Direct3D 11) with a native GPU preview: no frame takes a needless trip through the CPU.
Hardware encoding
NVENC on NVIDIA cards, at 1080p and 60 fps. Without NVIDIA, the app uses another encoder available on your PC.
Scenes and sources
Camera, screen and window capture, image, color and text with bundled fonts. Drag, resize and crop right in the preview.
Media player
Videos and music in a playlist, with repeat, shuffle and transport controls on the source itself.
Video filters
Chroma key, color correction, crop, blur and sharpen on any source.
Audio mixer
Microphone and desktop audio with live meters and filters: noise suppression, noise gate, compressor and limiter.
Studio Mode
Line up the next scene in preview and send it to program with a cut or a transition.
Multiview and projector
See every scene at once and project the program or preview to another screen.
Global hotkeys
Go live, record, switch scenes and mute the mic without leaving your game.
Multiple outputs
Stream to several RTMP, RTMPS and SRT destinations at once and record to MKV or MP4.

Frequently asked questions
01Is Stratu Studio really free?
Yes. The app and the account are free forever: build scenes, record and stream to your own RTMP, RTMPS or SRT destinations. You only pay if you want the Stratu cloud, from R$79/month.
02Do I need an NVIDIA graphics card?
It's not required. With NVIDIA, encoding goes to NVENC and CPU usage stays very low; without it, the app uses another encoder available on your PC (software, if needed, which uses more CPU).
03Can I bring the scenes I already have?
Yes. Stratu Studio imports scene collections from other streaming apps. Once imported, they're saved to your free account.
04When can I download it?
The Windows installer is coming soon, right here on this page. You can already create your free account: it's the same in Stratu Studio, Stratu Cam and the dashboard.
