NV Broadcast (nvbroadcast) Package name

NV Broadcast is an AI-powered virtual camera and voice enhancement app for Linux. It brings background blur, background replace, green-screen remove, eye contact correction, face relighting, video enhancement, recording, and local meeting transcription into one app.

What's new in v1.5.3:

• Keeps Camera, Audio, and preview controls usable in small windows.
• Preserves video and microphone audio in MP4 recordings, including when effects are disabled or changed during capture.
• Saves recordings in the desktop Videos folder and provides folder actions.
• Recovers processing choices after temporary GPU memory pressure and allows first-use GPU checks to finish compiling their kernels.
• Discovers cameras connected after startup and improves moving finger gaps and background edges at the tested settings.
• Verifies pinned meeting-model downloads and supports TensorRT libraries with Python 3.14 on supported Linux systems.

Retained reliability features:

• Retries advertised camera formats when the preferred mode cannot start.
• Restores the selected microphone and keeps Start/Stop controls aligned with the actual broadcast state.
• Verifies runtime ownership and real inference before enabling GPU modes.
• Provides local meeting transcription and cumulative contributor credits.
• Supplies checksums, build provenance, and a helper for affected legacy native-package upgrades.

Recent quality updates:

• v1.4.0 adds rebindable global effect shortcuts, Gaze Lock, live camera switching, crash-safe processing reloads, and improved hair-edge and microphone behavior.
• v1.3.0 adds a device-resident NVIDIA video path, stronger blur controls, safe camera and microphone power saving, corrected Apple Silicon camera selection, and cleaner sunlit replacement edges.
• Compute selection lets users choose Auto, GPU Focused, or CPU Focused behavior. GPU Focused selects the DocZeus/CUDA path when available, while CPU Focused keeps users on CPU modes when preferred.
• The arm64 Snap build stays portable and CPU-safe until Linux arm64 GPU wheels are available from upstream providers.

Core features:

• Blur your background
• Replace your background with an image
• Remove your background for green-screen workflows
• Eye contact correction while reading or presenting
• Face relighting to better match the background
• Video enhancement with skin smooth, denoise, enhance, and sharpen controls
• Voice studio tools plus local AI meeting transcription and summaries
• DocZeus, Zeus, Killer, CUDA, and CPU processing modes for different systems
• Works with Zoom, Chrome, OBS, Discord, and other webcam apps
