What’s new.

Windows 0.1.34 / Latest stable / November 7, 2026

Ready when you are 👋

Choose whether Riscord opens when you sign in to your computer.

Also in this release

• Open Settings → Devices & sync → Open at startup. It defaults off and stays on this computer.
• The setting reads the native startup entry, with an update hint in older desktop versions. Browsers and Android do not show it.

Windows 0.1.33 / Latest stable

Your games have something to say 🎮

Richer game activity and role controls, plus Saved messages, quicker search and quieter reminders.

Also in this release

• Save messages, links and files privately from their context menu. Find them and your unfinished drafts in Home → Saved.
• Search remembers recent queries on this device, with removable filter chips so narrowing things down takes fewer clicks.
• Voice can recover from changed audio devices and waking your computer while keeping an owned call and its microphone/mute settings.
• Mark important notifications unread or remind yourself in 15 minutes, an hour or tomorrow. They return quietly in Notification Center, without replaying banners or sounds.
• Bot SDK0.4.1 follows authorized voice moves and keeps playback active with fresh media credentials. Update your bot SDK and restart the bot to use it.
• Manage permitted roles from every server mini profile. Add several through the checklist or remove one from its role chip.
• The Windows app supports local Rich Presence with activity details, elapsed time and up to two action links. Activity sharing remains opt-in and follows your profile audience.
• Registered apps use their application name and artwork. RPC needs no bot token or server installation, and activity clears when its process disconnects.
• SDK 0.4.0 adds JavaScript/TypeScript and Python RPC clients, reconnect support, examples and a public developer guide.
• Turn on Share game activity and Rich Presence in Settings → Activity. Connected apps take priority; automatic game detection resumes when they clear or disconnect.

Windows 0.1.32 / Latest stable

A closer look. Less waiting. 👋

Meet people through compact server profiles, give bots richer replies, and let Windows updates finish before your chats open.

Also in this release

• Click a name in a server to open a compact profile, with badges, status and roles. Open the full profile from there.
• Bots can send rich embeds in channels, DMs and private command replies. SDK 0.3.0 adds richer command options, message editing and more core API helpers.
• Camera and screen-sharing controls now sit together in calls and the bottom-left voice controls.
• Windows checks for signed updates on fresh launch and installs them before opening chats. Running-app updates still ask first, and connection recovery does not trigger installation. Install 0.1.32 once to enable this startup flow.

Windows 0.1.31 / Latest stable

The little things have moves now ✨

Bells ring, eyes blink and speaker waves ripple. The icons themselves now have a little motion when you use them.

Also in this release

• The shared icon set animates individual shapes while keeping the same resting artwork.
• Verified checks and Boost crystal facets join in, with short hover and touch feedback.
• Update the desktop app for moving icon parts in the game overlay and window controls.
• Reduce motion and Performance mode keep the icons still. Menus and actions stay instant.

Windows 0.1.30 / Latest stable

A little more control. A little less noise. 🎚️

Voice volume goes up to 200%, Nitro badges grow with you, and notification popups step out of the way.

Also in this release

• Context menus close when you click anywhere outside, including other buttons and panels.
• Voice members start at 100%. Turn someone up to 200% from their menu when they’re a little quiet.
• Each server Boost level has its own crystal icon. Nitro badges evolve at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months, with progress in Settings → Nitro.
• Message and badge popup banners are gone. Notification Center, notification sounds and system alerts stay available.
• In the installed app, Enable camera prepares access without an extra Riscord confirmation. Update to 0.1.30 for the desktop permission flow; required system privacy prompts still apply.
• Category names keep your casing. Hover a channel for its settings, and the extra uncategorized + button is gone.
• Drag yourself into another voice channel to switch right away. Move Members works across role ranks.
• Bot roles can move in the role list, and new roles start at the bottom. Giving roles uses a clearer checklist with search. Chat names show role icons and the highest colored role; No color override lets a role pass its color down to the next one.

Windows 0.1.29 / Latest stable

Camera on. Pass it on. 📷

Turn on your camera in server voice or a DM call, and forward messages to another chat from the message menu.

Also in this release

• Camera video lives in the call grid with a mirrored preview for you. Hidden call views stop receiving camera video, and reconnecting leaves your camera off.
• Forwarded copies keep the original author and attachments, with quiet mentions and permission checks for both chats.
• Visited chats show cached messages right away while refreshing. Server chats open without waiting for the full member list, and voice updates do less work in the composer and navigation.
• Update the installed app for camera permission support on Linux, macOS and Android. Camera access still needs your permission.

Windows 0.1.28 / Latest stable

Hold to talk, even in game 🎙️

Push to talk now uses a background desktop shortcut, so it can reach your microphone while you play.

Also in this release

• Record your talk key with the same shortcut control used elsewhere. Function keys, punctuation and numpad keys are available too.
• Releasing the key closes your microphone. Changing focus, recording a shortcut, opening overlay chat or leaving voice clears the held state.
• Reactions now work in DMs, including custom emoji. They stay in sync across devices and remain visible when you reopen the chat.
• Bot SDK 0.2.3 includes the caller’s voice channel, so /play can join their room. Update your bot and use the new voice-channel field.
• Update the desktop app for background push to talk. Browser tabs still need focus, and games that block system shortcuts may need a different key.

Windows 0.1.27 / Latest stable

Your downloads have a home 📥

Save a file or image in the desktop app and follow it from Downloads in the titlebar. Cancel, try again, open a saved file or jump to its folder without leaving your chat.

Also in this release

• Downloads keep going while you move around Riscord. The download control stays hidden until you save something, and clearing the list hides it again.
• Message Requests keeps first contacts outside your regular inbox until you accept. Existing chats stay accepted, and friend requests remain in Friends → Pending.
• Boost levels have richer, flowing color blends. Server banners now bring the name and Boost goal together.
• Custom invite URLs are in Server Settings → Invites. Your profile has a badge-edit pen beside the badges, and the members sidebar drops its extra close button.
• User, server, channel and category settings have a subtle closing animation, with save and discard guards preserved. Regular dialogs close instantly.

Windows 0.1.26 / Latest stable

Server mute and deafen indicators stay red on voice avatars, including when you also deafen yourself.

Also in this release

• The Windows game overlay uses the same moderation colors and clearer combined-state labels.

Windows 0.1.25 / Latest stable / November 5, 2026

A few details, right where you need them

Also in this release

• Active mute and deafen buttons are red, while your own avatar and member indicators stay gray. Speaking rings stay in your connected room and disappear when deafened.
• Scroll over a stream in the voice view to zoom, drag to pan, and reset when you’re done.
• Email Reveal stays pinned on the right. Progress bars share one custom design, and phone text actions stay near your selection.
• Change password is in My Account. The current server sends a secure reset email from there.

Windows 0.1.24 / Latest stable / November 5, 2026

A little more room for your conversations

Attachment previews and formatting tools have a new look. Right sidebars stay beside chat whenever there’s room, and holding Shift reveals quick message actions.

Also in this release

• The Windows game overlay now shows rich bot and webhook messages, with a cleaner layout.
• Self mute and deafen states are gray; server-enforced states stay red.
• Reveal email is a separate control on the left, so only that control highlights.

Windows 0.1.23 / Latest stable / November 5, 2026

A few things feel a little smoother

Notifications open from their bell, file-drop targets fade into place, and the expanded Windows overlay has a smoother Settings transition.

Also in this release

Windows 0.1.22 / Latest stable / November 4, 2026

• Android has a new install identity and a stable signing key for future updates. Sign in again after installing the new preview.

Windows 0.1.20 / Latest stable

Windows 0.1.19 / Latest stable / November 4, 2026

Move the stream where it fits

Drag the in-app stream mini-player wherever you want it. Settings search stays put, and version info now scrolls beneath Sign out.

Also in this release

• Windows system-audio sharing excludes Riscord’s own playback on supported Windows versions.
• The game overlay stays click-through during gameplay and takes keyboard input when you open its panels.
• Shortcuts pause while you record a new one, so you can use the overlay with settings open.
• Deleting a channel or category now opens a proper confirmation dialog with clear actions and errors.

Windows 0.1.18 / Latest stable / November 4, 2026

A better start for your chats and overlay

Chats open at the newest messages, and the Windows overlay uses matching browser options so its window can start alongside the app. The default overlay shortcut is now Shift + `.

Also in this release

Also in this release

• Game detection covers common engines and launchers, with global and per-game switches in Settings → Game Overlay.
