Take a Stool, rebuilt. Asking to join a live room is now one tap from the side rail. The host sees every request in a live list and can approve or decline instantly, and you get an invite card the moment you're approved. Declining keeps your camera and microphone off and leaves you comfortably in the audience, and the request button stays available so you can ask again later. Up to 12 on camera. Live rooms now hold a full table: as many as twelve people can share the stage at once, with the host managing seats from a single panel. Smoother streams. Streams now adapt to your connection and recover quietly in the background instead of flashing reconnecting messages, so a shaky moment on the subway no longer drops you out of the room. Comments that stick around. The comment icon moved off the right rail into a bottom bar, TikTok style, that lifts with your keyboard. Comments are saved now, so anyone joining late can scroll back through the whole conversation instead of seeing only what happened while they watched. Camera controls. Front-camera mirroring can be turned on or off to taste, camera flipping is faster and no longer black-screens on the rear lens, and switching cameras mid-stream keeps your stream alive. Sharing. Send a live room straight to friends through a share sheet or a direct message inside the app. For distilleries, breweries and wineries. A new Studio hub in the business dashboard lets you post real pours and products and invite your followers into your live room. When you're streaming, your photo in the feed carries a live ring that taps straight through to the room. Faster feed. Video loads and plays noticeably quicker throughout the app, with smarter preloading as you scroll. Android notifications. The permission prompt now appears reliably on launch, so alerts actually reach you. Plus a long list of smaller fixes across live rooms, camera permissions, notifications and the feed.

Live rooms got a full rebuild. Taking a seat is now one tap. Hit the stool button on the side rail to ask the host to join, and they can wave you in instantly — your camera and mic switch on automatically the moment you're approved. If your camera isn't available, you'll still join on the mic so the conversation keeps going. Hosts see everyone waiting in one clean list with approve or decline on each person, plus a live count so nobody gets missed. Up to 12 people can now share the room on camera at once, with the room laying itself out as guests come and go. Streams are smoother too: quality adapts to your connection, brief drops recover quietly in the background instead of throwing you out, and the "reconnecting" loop that used to interrupt good conversations is gone. Comments moved to the bottom, where they belong. Tap the comment bar and it rises with your keyboard, so you can type without losing sight of the room. Everything you send is now saved, so viewers who arrive late can scroll back and catch the whole conversation instead of just the last few lines. Emoji are built right into the bar. Front-camera mirroring is yours to choose. Some people want the flipped view they're used to in a mirror, some want the true view everyone else sees. There's a toggle in the room settings and on the go-live screen. Flipping between front and rear cameras is faster and no longer black-screens. Sharing a room takes seconds. A share sheet lets you send a live room straight to a friend in a direct message, or out to anywhere else on your phone. Distilleries, breweries and wineries get a real workspace. A new Studio in the business dashboard lets you post a pour or add a product in a couple of taps, then invite your followers into your live room from the same place. When you're streaming, your photo in the feed picks up a red live ring that taps straight through to your room, so followers scrolling by can walk right in. The dashboard is now the single place you go live from — no more hunting for a separate button on your profile. Video is quicker everywhere. Clips start faster, scroll cleanly one after another, and pick their own quality based on your connection so you're not staring at a spinner on a weak signal. Photos and videos load lighter on the feed and profiles. On Android, the app now asks for notification permission properly on first launch, so you actually get alerts for new pours, comments and live rooms. The launch crash some people hit after the splash screen is fixed, and the app is leaner and faster to open. Also in this release: followers reliably receive the "New Vibe" alert when someone they follow posts, camera and microphone access works correctly on both phone platforms for live streaming and the bottle scanner, audio shuts down properly when you leave a room, and a long list of smaller stability and layout fixes throughout the app. Cheers — and thanks for pouring with us.

This release is all about the Speakeasy Live Room — smoother streams, faster joins, and a cleaner way for hosts to run the room. TAKE A STOOL, INSTANTLY • Viewers can now request to join a host on camera with one tap from the side rail. • Hosts see every waiting viewer in a live list, with Approve or Decline right there — no more empty panels or vanished requests. • Once approved, your camera and mic turn on automatically.

BUSINESS ACCOUNTS • Distillery, brewery and winery dashboards: reach and performance insights, product vault, ambassador tracking, collaborations, menu scanner and staff management. • Business accounts can post photos and videos just like everyone else. CAMERA AND PERMISSIONS • Camera and microphone access rebuilt for the installed app — going live and scanning menus now request permission cleanly and recover if you previously denied it. FIXES AND POLISH • Fixed a crash that could happen right after the splash screen on Android. • Fixed audio continuing to play after leaving a live room. • Tightened account and privacy rules across the platform. • Faster app launch and general performance improvements throughout. Thanks for pouring with us. Keep the feedback coming — a lot of this list came straight from you.

SPEAKEASY LIVE ROOMS — REBUILT We tore the lounge down to the studs and rebuilt it. Live rooms are now faster, smoother, and far more social. • Up to 12 people on stage at once. Host plus eleven stools, each with its own video seat that fills automatically as guests are approved. • Take a Stool: tap the side-rail button to request a seat on stage. Your request goes straight to the host in real time, shows a live "waiting" state, and can be cancelled with a second tap. Requests clear themselves if the host doesn't answer. • Instant approval for hosts. Pending requests appear in a card right under the header with a badge count. One tap approves — the new guest's camera and mic turn on automatically and their video drops into the next open seat. No extra taps, no reloads. • Guests stay in control. Mic, camera, and camera flip remain fully manual after you go live, so you can mute or hide yourself at any time. • Audio-only fallback: if camera access is denied, you still join the conversation with your microphone. SILKY-SMOOTH STREAMING • Adaptive streaming and dynamic layer switching mean your video quality now scales to your connection instead of stuttering on it. • Multi-quality broadcasting (720p / 360p / 180p) so viewers on weak signal get a stable stream and viewers on strong signal get sharp video. • No more "reconnecting" flicker. Short network hiccups are absorbed silently — tiles stay on screen and only a subtle indicator appears in the header. Warnings only show up if the drop is genuinely serious. • Rock-solid seamless camera flip: front-to-rear switching now happens on the live track itself, so no black screens and no dropped video. • Better presence tracking, so viewer counts and join notices stay accurate throughout the session. REAL-TIME VIEWER PRESENCE • See exactly who's in the room with a tappable viewer list. • Live join notices roll through chat as people arrive. • Tap any viewer to view their profile. SHARE TO FRIENDS • A new share sheet lets you send a live room straight into a direct message. Search your friends, pick who to invite, and send — all without leaving the stream. FEED & VIDEO PERFORMANCE • Video vibes now stream through an adaptive delivery pipeline, so playback starts faster and holds up on cellular. • The vertical feed is virtualized: less memory, smoother scrolling, cleaner transitions between posts. • Audio now tears down properly when you swipe, so no more sound bleeding between videos. • Faster cold starts with an optimized launch sequence and preloaded media. KEYBOARD-DOCKED COMMENTS • The live comment bar now rides the keyboard perfectly on both platforms, with the Art Deco styling to match the room, plus a built-in emoji picker. CAMERA & PERMISSIONS • Rebuilt camera and microphone permission handling for Go Live and the label scanner. Permissions are requested at the right moment, with clear prompts and graceful recovery if you previously denied access. • Notification permission is now requested on first launch, so you won't miss cheers, comments, and live alerts. FIXES & POLISH • Fixed a rare crash that could occur immediately after the splash screen. • Fixed host video failing to render in certain room states. • Fixed the "failed to switch camera" error when flipping mid-stream. • Fixed the share sheet layout squashing against the action rail. • Smaller, faster download thanks to an optimized release build. • Numerous stability improvements across live sessions, uploads, and the feed.
