Collaboration

The Studio supports multiple users working simultaneously. Collaborate in real-time during broadcasts.

User Presence

Active Studio users display in the top bar.

• User avatars appear in a row
• Hover over an avatar to see the username
• Maximum display of 5 avatars; overflow shows a count badge

Presence updates in real-time as users join or leave.

Real-Time Synchronization

All Studio actions synchronize across connected users.

Synchronized elements:

• Playback mode changes
• Playlist modifications
• Mixer adjustments
• Transport controls (play, pause, skip)

When one user makes a change, all other users see it immediately.

Conflict Handling

Simultaneous actions from multiple users follow these rules:

• Last action wins for instant controls (play, pause)
• Concurrent edits merge when possible
• Conflicting changes prompt for resolution

The system prioritizes broadcast continuity over individual user actions.
