About Remoto Playback

Playback enables global creative teams to collaborate securely and work together live, in real time, with a studio-quality experience that feels like being on-site. With Playback, all you need is a computer - no dedicated hardware required.

Playback is a macOS desktop application used to stream and receive high-quality audio and video during live collaborative sessions. A companion web application allows invited participants to view streams and join conferencing directly from supported web browsers, providing flexibility for on-the-go participation.

• Real-time audio and video streaming from any DAW, NLE, or application source available on your computer
• Integrated conferencing tools, including built-in video chat and participant chat, eliminating the need for a separate conferencing platform
• Timecoded markers, captured during live sessions and exportable for import into supported DAWs or NLEs
• Multi-channel audio streaming, supporting up to 16 discrete audio channels* for advanced post-production and immersive audio workflows
• Flexible Desktop and Web participation, allowing Guests to join sessions via Playback Desktop or a supported web browser, depending on session configuration
