LATEST RELEASES
What’s new in Maximizer.
Client and Host releases have independent version numbers. These are the latest published packages available on OpenStream.
A microphone that stays put.
Released September 12, 2026 · Windows and Linux packages
The latest Linux Host retains the Maximizer microphone between streaming sessions, so browsers and games can keep the same recording device selected.
- The virtual microphone stays available and silent after disconnect.
- Reconnecting restores the microphone audio path automatically.
- Compatible existing devices are reused, with recovery for missing components on the next connection.
- Required audio utilities are declared as package dependencies.
Persistence covers the audio-server lifetime. Restarting the audio service or operating system can recreate devices.
Download Host v1.0.256 ↓A clearer voice path.
Released September 12, 2026 · Desktop and Android packages
Desktop Client builds include the corrected Windows-compatible microphone helper and one-way microphone forwarding.
- Microphone input is sent to the host without helper playback on the client.
- Helper compatibility checks are part of packaging and startup.
- Earlier pairing and VM-readiness improvements remain included.
The Android download is the separately built root variant; desktop microphone-helper behavior does not describe the Android APK.
Download Client v1.0.247 ↓Which versions go together?
Client v1.0.247 and Host v1.0.256 are the current matching desktop components. A different Host version number is normal: the two applications are released independently.
