TrackSpot 2.1 — Our Biggest Platform Update Yet
It’s been a busy few months behind the scenes at TrackSpot, and we’re finally getting to the point where I can start talking properly about what we’ve been building.
On 3rd October 2026 at 8pm UTC, TrackSpot will enter scheduled maintenance as we begin rolling out TrackSpot 2.1 across our platform.
You’ll be able to follow the maintenance and service status at https://status.trackspot.tv.
This isn’t just a small website update. 2.1 lays down a lot of the foundations for where I want TrackSpot to go over the next few years, while also introducing some genuinely significant changes that you’ll actually be able to see and use.
And yes — Remote is finally here.
More on that shortly.
A new home for TrackSpot
One of the biggest visible changes in 2.1 is the work we’ve done across the main TrackSpot website.
We’ve started properly separating out Products and Services, making it much easier to understand what TrackSpot actually does and where everything fits.
The new Products area gives us a proper home for the software we’re building, starting with TrackSpot Remote, while our broadcasting, training and events offerings now sit within a dedicated Services section.
That might sound like a relatively simple change, but it’s an important one for us.
TrackSpot has grown well beyond being purely a broadcasting brand. We absolutely love producing broadcasts, and now we're increasingly building tools and infrastructure around the problems we've encountered while actually doing the job.
We’ve also brought back the TrackSpot account experience, so signing into the website once again gives you a central place connected to your TrackSpot account.
There’s now a self-service account deletion process as well, giving users much clearer control over their own account and information.
A better live experience
The way our live broadcasts appear across the site has also been rebuilt.
TrackSpot can now automatically understand whether we're currently live, what broadcast is coming next, and what should be displayed to viewers at any given time.
When we're offline, you'll see information about the next broadcast and a countdown towards it.
When we're live, the site can switch over to the relevant YouTube and Twitch coverage.
It's one of those changes that seems obvious once it's there, but it means the website can finally behave much more like a live broadcasting platform rather than a collection of fairly static pages.
TrackSpot Status
We’ve also put a lot more work into status.trackspot.tv.
The Status site is becoming the central place to check the health of TrackSpot services, see scheduled maintenance, and find out whether something is affecting the platform.
The main TrackSpot website now ties directly into this as well, including a service health indicator in the footer.
Scheduled maintenance can also be surfaced directly on the website, so we can give people much better notice when we're planning platform work.
That starts immediately with the TrackSpot 2.1 rollout.

And then there’s Remote...
This is the part I've been itching to talk about!
TrackSpot Remote 1.0 is entering production with TrackSpot 2.1.
Built for streamers, broadcasters and OBS users alike; Remote lets you build your own browser-based OBS control surface and then securely hand that control surface to operators anywhere in the world.
Your OBS instance stays connected locally. Your operator opens a browser. They join your Remote session. And they can control the parts of your production that you've actually designed for them to control.
We've built support for scenes, preview, transitions, Studio Mode, scene items, browser sources, audio, streaming, recording, virtual camera, replay buffer, filters, media controls, delays, variables, volume faders and considerably more.
Macros can contain multiple actions and can visually reflect what's happening inside OBS.
Layouts can be built, resized, duplicated, imported, exported and then published to your operators.
Remote sessions can support multiple operators at the same time, with the host remaining in control of the session.
And because we've designed Remote around actual production workflows, we've spent a lot of time thinking about things such as operators disconnecting, reconnecting, running macros simultaneously, mobile controls, connection fallback and preventing different operators from fighting over the same OBS resources.
The important thing for me is that OBS itself does not need to be exposed directly to the internet for the normal Remote workflow.
Remote creates the bridge between the host and the operator while the actual OBS actions still happen on the host side.
I'm deliberately not going too deep into Remote here, because it deserves considerably more than a couple of paragraphs buried inside a release post.
A dedicated TrackSpot Remote post is imminent.
And I mean imminent.
I'll be going into what Remote is, why we built it, how sessions work, what you can build with it, how we're approaching security, and where I want to take it from here.
There are also example layouts already being prepared to demonstrate some of the ways Remote can be used — from stream automation and media control through to broadcast assistance and transition management.
I'm incredibly excited to finally start showing it properly.
This is really the beginning
TrackSpot 2.1 is a pretty major milestone for us.
Some parts of this release are immediately visible. Others are foundations that will allow us to build much faster from here.
The goal is to increasingly connect everything together into one TrackSpot ecosystem: our broadcasting services, our software, our accounts, our status infrastructure and the tools we use to actually run productions.
Remote is the first really visible example of that software direction reaching production.
It won't be the last.
There’s a lot more coming.
For now, though, the next milestone is getting 2.1 out to you.
TrackSpot 2.1 scheduled maintenance begins 3rd October 2026 at 8pm UTC.

And keep an eye out.
The TrackSpot Remote announcement is next.
