You can now import contacts into HeyStream from a CSV file, then link them directly to broadcasts or series.

Upload a CSV, map the Name and Email columns, review which rows will create or update contacts, and confirm permission before the import runs. HeyStream checks for duplicates, invalid emails, and suppressed contacts before adding the list to your workspace CRM.

For teams bringing an existing audience into HeyStream, this removes the manual step of creating contacts one by one before registration, follow-up, or audience reporting.

Open Contacts and click Import Contacts to upload your first CSV.

You can now add on-screen content and reusable scene overlays in HeyStream, making it much easier to highlight key moments and give your broadcasts a more polished, intentional feel. You can show banners, lower thirds, tickers, and graphics, bring chat messages, Q&A, polls, or insights onto the stream, and save full overlay scenes so you can bring them back again in a click.

This is especially useful when you want to introduce speakers, reinforce a key message, highlight audience interaction, keep a call to action visible, or add branded graphics without interrupting the flow of your session.

To try it out, open any broadcast in the Studio and look for On-screen content and Scenes in the live controls bar. You can also head to Design in the Studio sidebar to adjust how promoted content (such as chat, Q&A and live polls) appear on screen.

You can now manage broadcasts in a full month calendar view on the Broadcasts page. You can drag and drop broadcasts to reschedule them by day, move unscheduled broadcasts onto a date, and move scheduled broadcasts back to No Schedule Set. Calendar cards also include the same quick actions you use in other broadcast views.

This makes planning and last-minute schedule changes much faster, with immediate visual feedback so you can confirm updates at a glance.

You’ll notice this in Broadcasts → View toggle → Calendar.

We've added a new Attendee Responses page for each broadcast, with a full-width table that shows attendee names, emails, and submitted registration answers in one place. We have also added a direct link to this page from each broadcast card, so the responses are easier to find during day-to-day workflow.

We have redesigned the Recordings page in the left workspace sidebar into a clearer board view with separate columns for Recording, Completed, and Failed. We have also moved card actions into the menu on each recording, so preview, download, and delete are in one consistent place.

We have updated downloads so finished video files are prepared automatically when needed, and failed download attempts can be retried from the same Download action. This has made it easier to recover older or failed recordings, though some items may briefly show “Preparing export” before the file is ready to download.

We have added a dedicated Presenters area to each workspace so there is now one shared place to manage your presenter directory. From there, you can create presenters, edit presenter details in the side panel, and remove presenters you no longer need.

You’ll find this in the workspace sidebar under Recordings. We have also added social profile fields for presenters (such as website, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and others), and those links now show on the public registration page next to each listed presenter.

The practical benefit is faster setup and cleaner reuse: once a presenter is saved, they can be selected again for future broadcasts without re-entering details. One caveat: social icons only appear when links are filled in for that presenter and the presenter is included on that broadcast.

We’ve added Background Blur to Studio camera settings, so presenters can keep focus on themselves and reduce visual distractions.

A new Background Blur toggle can now be found in the camera settings area when in the studio with Low, Medium, and High strength options.

• New: Background Blur toggle with Low, Medium, and High strength options.

• Note that blur can increase CPU/GPU usage and may impact smoothness on some devices. If processing load gets too high, blur can auto-disable to keep the studio responsive.

We’ve added registration page tracking so you can better understand how people are discovering and signing up for your broadcasts.

You can now see:

• page views

• unique visitors

• conversion rate (the percentage of visitors who register)

These are available as daily, monthly, and all-time metrics, and are shown in your registration insights alongside the timeline data.
