What's New in AmbientCast
1.4
September 20, 2026
• Picture in Picture is dramatically faster and closer to live — the button's ready the moment you open the app, and the video plays with far less delay. • Zoom in on the video on Apple TV for a close-up of your print. • Your Apple TV now stays awake while broadcasting to YouTube, so long streams don't drop. • If your printer's IP changes, AmbientCast finds it again automatically. • Adding a printer by hand now needs only its address and access code. • A cleaner broadcast overlay and a fresh printer icon.
