20 updates for Live Stages
September 2026
Live Stages
Back arrow keeps you listening
The back arrow at the top of a stage now takes you to the stage list without leaving, so the mini player keeps playing. Use Leave when you actually want to stop listening.
Live Stages
See who reacted to a chat message
Hover or tap a reaction on a chat message to see who reacted, with your own reaction listed first. On a phone, a long press opens the same list.
Live Stages
Expand chat to fill more of the screen
On desktop, an expand button on the chat panel widens it to take up most of the room, while the stream and controls stay visible on the side. Press it again or Esc to go back.
Live Stages
Mini player recovers audio that got muted
If your browser or phone mutes the mini player while you're listening elsewhere on the site, a tap now restores the sound instead of staying silent until you reload.
Live Stages
The +N bubble reveals everyone in the room
In a big room, tapping the "+N" bubble now shows those listeners right in the grid, scrolled into view, with the same options as everyone else.
Live Stages
Set stage permissions for Free Stages accounts
Hosts can now set screen share, audio and speaking permissions specifically for Free Stages accounts, instead of only for everyone as a group.
Live Stages
Presenter filter lists the team first
The All presenters list now groups the Skylit team first, then other featured presenters, so you can find a familiar voice quickly.
Live Stages
Links to ended stages open the replay
A link to a stage that has finished now takes you straight to its replay instead of an empty room.
Live Stages
Replays show the whole chat
A replay now shows every chat message from the stage, not only the last hundred, and finds its recording without a reload.
Live Stages
Search the live transcript
Search transcript in the live room finds a word or ticker in what has been said and jumps you to it.
Live Stages
Find every stage a presenter spoke on
Filtering by presenter now also finds stages where that person came up to speak, not only the ones they hosted.
Live Stages
Open recordings in new tabs
Stage tiles are now links, so you can open several replays in new tabs with right-click, middle-click or Cmd/Ctrl-click.
Live Stages
Every listener is reachable
In a big room, the +N tile opens People, where Show more loads the rest of the audience.
Live Stages
Mark moments in a replay
Save the time you are at in a replay, with an optional note, and jump back to it later. Moments are private to you.
Live Stages
Replay links can start at a time
Add ?t=14:32 (or seconds) to a replay link and it opens at that point.
Live Stages
Save recordings to a Saved tab
Bookmark any replay in the Archive and find it again on the Saved tab, on any device.
Live Stages
Download a replay's transcript
Replays now have a Download button that saves the full transcript as a text file.
Live Stages
Muted audio is easy to spot
When stage audio is muted, the mixer icon and the Now Listening player turn amber, so muted no longer looks like a quiet room.
Live Stages
A readable transcript you can keep
The transcript shows one header per speaker turn, and Download saves it as a text file with times from the start of the stage.
Live Stages
Replay transcript follows along
In a replay, the transcript now follows the line being spoken, and the header shows the date the stage ran.
