Camera
OutStage Virtual Camera
Pick it in FaceTime, Zoom, Teams, or OBS. The other app receives your composed program — slides, game, locked web video, guest — not a raw webcam.
Mac & Windows · game capture · phone remote
Your computer, already a studio.
Build the show once — Office decks, game capture, a locked web video, Zoom with live translation both ways. FaceTime, Zoom, Teams, and OBS just pick OutStage Virtual Camera — and on Mac, OutStage Virtual Microphone.

Scenes · 85 layouts
Every kind of show, already laid out.
Streamers, teachers, panelists, surgeons, podcasters. Pick a scene and OutStage fills the whole frame with it — no wasted pixels, in 16:9, 9:16, square or 4:3. Switch shape or layout and the tiles move to their new places.

In the app: Scenes → Catalog (macOS). Search, favorites and categories work the same way; one click fills the layout with whatever sources you have open — and the program size can be changed later without losing a pixel.

Virtual devices
FaceTime and Zoom only see the finished show.
OutStage does not replace FaceTime. It feeds FaceTime, Zoom, Teams, Meet, and OBS — on Mac and Windows — with a composed program. On Mac it adds a mixed microphone too.
Microphone · Mac
OutStage Virtual Microphone
The program mix: Mic, Desktop, Media, Web, Conference, Office, Game. Optional RNNoise on the mic bus. When translation is on, guests hear your spoken language on this device.
How you go live
Three steps in any call app
1) Install the OutStage devices · 2) Build a scene · 3) In FaceTime / Zoom / Teams / OBS, choose OutStage Virtual Camera and OutStage Virtual Microphone. Optionally route that app’s playback into OutStage Virtual Speaker so meeting audio lands in the mixer. The virtual microphone and speaker are Mac-only for now; on Windows, call apps take the camera and your own mic.
Office & PDF
PowerPoint without sharing the whole desktop.
Open PowerPoint, Word, Excel, or PDF. Put the deck on air in a container. Keep speaker notes on your operator desk (Mac) — they are not burned into the camera unless you place them in Graphics. Windows converts through Microsoft Office or LibreOffice.
Office / PDF
Local deck, previous / next, history
Local renderer for PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and PDF. Notes pane for you. Previous/next slide from the desk or from your phone remote. History of opened documents.
On air
Full-frame slides + presenter PIP
Classic lecture look: deck fills the program, camera cropped in the corner, optional lower-third. FaceTime or Zoom only receives that finished frame.

Web · HTML element
A YouTube player — not the whole tab.
Browse in the embedded Chromium page. Turn on Show elements to outline videos and pictures. Double-click the one you want: that live rectangle becomes its own Web Video source, locked while you keep scrolling the rest of the page.
- Outline every
<video>and image on the page. - Double-click to lock that element as
Web Video/Element n. - Place the locked player in any container — beside Office slides, over a game, next to your camera.
- Scroll and navigate freely; the locked frame stays on air.
Web Video / Element
Focus the HTML node you care about
Ideal for YouTube, dashboards, or any page where only one player should hit the virtual camera.
Game capture · program out
Capture the game. Record at up to 144 fps. Call apps get a smooth 60.
On Windows, OutStage hooks the running title (OBS-style, D3D10/11/12 and Vulkan); on Mac it follows the game window. Put it in the program with your camera, Office deck, or a locked web video. High-rate recording keeps motion sharp; FaceTime, Zoom, Teams, and OBS pick the virtual camera at live rates.
Windows REC 144 / 120 fps
Virtual cam / call apps 60 fps
Also 50 · 30 · 25 · 24
- Game capture for exclusive fullscreen and flip-model titles on Windows — never blocks the game.
- Anti-cheat aware: titles protected by EAC, BattlEye, Vanguard, FACEIT and similar are never hooked — OutStage takes them from the display instead.
- Own Game audio channel: the game’s sound is split from Desktop, so Discord and notifications stay out.
- Recording takes every frame at high rates; the virtual camera stays smooth for FaceTime / Zoom (up to 60).
- Compose cam PIP, lower-thirds, and Office over the game — switch scenes from the desk or your phone.
Live 60 · 120 · 144 — follow one shape with your eyes
Canvas vsync test · not a video file
Your browser draws at …
Pick one shape and follow it across the screen. The 60 row looks doubled and jerky; the 120 row looks like one crisp shape.

Speed
What your eye sees while following the shape simulated · looks the same on any screen
All three rows move at the same speed; each row only redraws at its own rate. A row can never update faster than your screen, so on a 120 Hz MacBook the 144 row is capped at 120 — you need a 144 Hz monitor to see that step.

Live translation · Mac
Zoom, both directions.
Two channels open together. You speak in your language; guests hear you on OutStage Virtual Microphone in theirs. Playback — Zoom conference, YouTube, media, Office — can be spoken into your language on this machine. Swap channels anytime.

Conference
Paste a Zoom link, translate the room
OutStage joins as “OutStage”, puts the meeting picture in a container, and uses its own Conference mixer bus. Start translation from the conference strip.
Languages
14 languages, any direction
Turkish, English, Arabic, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Portuguese, Italian. Pick any two as source and target. Female / male voices. Recordings store Original and Translation audio tracks while translation is on.
Remote control
Run the desk from iPhone or iPad.
No hardware deck required. Enable Phone Remote in Settings, scan the QR code, and control OutStage from Safari or the installed PWA on your phone or iPad — live preview, scene switches, slides, overlays, record, and stream.
- Live video preview of the program — H.264 decoded on the phone, so you see motion, not snapshots.
- Scenes & slides — go, add, rename, reorder scenes and advance the Office deck from your hands.
- Graphics & audio — show or hide overlays, mute channels and ride levels with live meters.
- Record, pause, stream — the same show actions, on glass.
- Direct link on your Wi-Fi — phone and computer talk peer-to-peer; away from home it falls back to the relay.
- End-to-end encrypted — the pairing key stays in the link on your phone; up to 8 phones per studio.
Everything on the desk
The rest of the studio.
Beyond the headline features, OutStage ships the tools a live show needs. Tags show where each one runs today.

7-channel mixer
Mic, Desktop, Media, Web, Conference, Office, Game. RNNoise on the mic, voice leveler, music ducking while you talk, and mic-to-picture sync.

Live captions
Your speech burned into the program in 6 spoken languages, with up to 3 on-screen translations. SRT files saved next to each recording.
Replay buffer & markers
Keep the last 15–120 s and save it with one key, even when not recording. ⌃⌥M drops YouTube-style chapter markers.
Multistream
Two extra RTMP destinations go live with the main one; if one drops, the others keep going. Windows reconnects automatically.
Teleprompter & away screen
A floating script hidden from screen sharing, and a “Be right back” screen that can mute your mic.
Global hotkeys
⌃⌥ shortcuts work even while Zoom is in front: scenes, graphics, record, pause, replay, captions, teleprompter.
Up to 6 cameras · 4 screens
Webcams, Continuity Camera and capture cards, each with crop and zoom. Displays or a single app window.
Stream Deck too
The phone is enough — but if you own a Stream Deck, the plugin runs scenes, slides, overlays, record and stream.
App interface in English, Türkçe, Deutsch, Français, Español and العربية. Settings backups move between Mac and Windows.
