SessionCollab for Windows and macOS

SessionCollab is launching soon. It will be free to download and free to join sessions, and hosting starts with a 14-day trial, with no card needed.

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.

Available at launch

SessionCollab will keep itself up to date: an update installs when the app restarts, never during a session. See the pricing and the Terms of Service.

Setting up

  1. Install and open SessionCollab. It opens with a short guide.
  2. Create your account in the app, with your email. It's free, and its name is the one collaborators see. You can sign in with Google too.
  3. Connect Live. SessionCollab puts its control surface into Live for you. Restart Live, then choose LiveCollab under Settings, Link, Tempo & MIDI, Control Surface.
  4. Start or join. Start a session from the Set you're working on, or open an invite link someone sent you.
