Vū Studio Release - January 28, 2026

We have been hard at work on exciting changes to Vū Studio and SceneForge and those updates are headed your way!

The upcoming planned maintenance window is scheduled for the afternoon on release day.

There should be no interruption in the availability of the website or your online account.
IMPORTANT - We are introducing a feature to store Light settings with the Media Server, which will greatly improve usability and allow anyone connecting to a system to use the lighting. This requires us to do a 1 time migration of your lighting configuration. This should be handled automatically in the system, but if you notice anything out of the ordinary, please contact support at support@vustudio.com and we can assist.
