From invites to findings. All in one platform.

Every playtester in the room. No room required.

Livestream Gallery View puts every session side by side, live — the same way you'd walk an observation lab and take notes while people play.

One note from the Global Annotations Feed: Dave Berger, at 13:23 in Build Review v1.14.17 — "UI Bug: Player 1 joined right as Ring Runners triggered, and now Player 3 is stuck on the host event overlay screen with no exit path."
Annotate

Take notes while they play

Annotate a stream as it happens. Every note is pinned to the exact moment, and the Global Annotations Feed collects them from every open session at once.

Clip

Clip it while it's still happening

Catch the moment as it plays out, without waiting for the session to end.

Guests

Bring stakeholders in to watch

Invite clients and teammates as guests to observe live and leave comments of their own. No account needed.

"Live Aware allowed us to build a culture where everyone's contributing feedback, not just a few dedicated team members and players. It's been invaluable for a game like ours where timing and feel are everything."

Every way in. One library.

However your team records — or however your players do — it lands in the right event automatically, with room to keep all of it for as long as you need.

Desktop Recorder

The fastest, easiest way to livestream or locally record high-quality gameplay video on Windows PCs.

Mobile Recorders

Playtesters livestream from their own iOS or Android device straight to your Live Aware workspace.

Self-Serve Stream Keys

Generate a stream key from inside any event and go live from OBS in seconds.

Direct Uploads

Upload video you already have — recorded with our Recorder or anything else — and it lands in the same library.

The Live Aware Desktop Recorder on Windows, set to Livestreaming with a game running in the stream preview, Entire screen chosen as the video source and system audio and microphone selected, above a red Go Live button.
The Live Aware mobile recorder on a phone, on the Start livestreaming step with the screen-share permission dialog open, above a large red GO LIVE button.

Hours of footage pile up fast. The moments find you.

Every session arrives already marked up, so the moments worth watching are visible before you press play.

Automatic Findings

Bugs, improvements, and praise are picked out and tagged Art, UX, Engineering, Audio, and more.

Event Dashboards

Every event builds its own dashboard, drawing findings from all of its videos into one view.

MCP Server

Connect Claude to your workspace and it can read your sessions and write back to them — automations shaped to how your studio works.

“Before Live Aware, we were literally drowning in raw footage. Now we can instantly find key moments where players are actually emoting about something cool or frustrating. It's been really, really helpful for turning all that data into something the team can actually use."

“We love Live Aware so much. It's only been 15 mins since the playtest ended and we already have all of these notes auto-generated … and now we can go back and watch specific moments to understand why things are happening the way they are."

Already have a lab? Use it.

Live Aware isn't only for remote playtests. The same platform runs the lab you already have — and lets the people who couldn't travel join it.

Stream Keys From Any Rig

Point your existing lab capture setup or OBS straight at Live Aware with a self-serve stream key.

Your Observation Room, On One Screen

Run Gallery View on the observation display and watch every station side by side.

Remote Stakeholders, Same Session

Anyone who couldn't make it to the lab joins as a guest and observes the same live sessions from wherever they are.

An in-person playtest lab: two long rows of partitioned stations, each with a monitor, webcam and headset and a player seated at it, while two moderators move through the room with tablets.

"Live Aware solves a core game dev problem - ensuring our team is seeing what everyone else is seeing. You can capture, share, follow, comment, tag people and connect to Jira. It does everything devs need. My goal for Gardens is to break the sound barrier for iteration speed and Live Aware is a core pillar."
