Currently does not support any Linux platform.

Add a clock that shows the computers time in the top left/right corner. The beacn mix (create) is the only non monitor screen I have and minimizing my game can take some time. The beacon mix (create) is always on anyways, so it would be a nice touch to enable a clock on the display (both american and military/euro time format pls).

There are those of us that live with children and the Beacn Mix/Create has colorful lights, buttons, and knobs that are attractive to children to play with, the ability to enable child lock with a lock indicator on its screen would be helpful. Maybe triggering via long pressing multiple knobs or on the create long pressing the additional buttons but having something that stops interaction from changing anything would be greatly appreciated as keeping it out of reach or monitoring children 100% of the time isn't always possible.

Right now on the Beacn app routing table there's Personal Mix, Audience Mix, Voice Chat Mic, and VOD Track. I want to know would it be possible to add a feature where I could add my out new mixes? For example I want to make a mix that's just for recording. Where the audio for just the mic and gameplay audio will go through in that mix instead of the alerts from stream or discord and I could call it Recording Mix. Since we will doon get the ability on OBS thanks to plugins to have a new clean canvas that we could just record from. I think having the Recording Mix will help a lot.

I know elgato is a competitor, but hear me out please! You could make this a paid plugin! Like say 25-50 lifetime price or something, giving us FULL support for control of the AWESOME Beacn software!! When I show fellow streamers the AWESOME Beacn software, the MAIN reason they dont get it, is NO streamdeck support! And they dont want to have to setup hotkeys, as when you goto fully controll ALL of the software, you will run out of hotkeys! People Will pay for this! If you want to run a poll on the Beacn Discord, you will get soooo many people that want this!! I am even willing to beta this for you!!

The addition of hotkey support for Beacn mix profiles/functions is much appreciated. I have two very different Beacn Mic profiles, one for normal chat purposes, and one for ham radio purposes. Going into the app to change profiles is annoying; I would much rather just be able to tap a button on a StreamDeck to pick a mic profile. Would it be possible to extend the hotkey functionality to select mic profiles?

VST support: You already mentioned this in the roadmap, but it would still be good if you could equip your mics with EQs etc. in your software without having to use other software. Background change from BEACN: On your website you could already see another design + white/dark mode. Wouldn't it be cool to create your own "BEACN MIX/Create" in the software... Third-party support: I'll take Elagto as an example, it would be cool if there were third-party software for developers to make the beacn even more practical, with multiple backgrounds, software integrations or plugins in general. Mix Create 2: That came to my mind spontaneously when I saw the shape of the BEACN Mix Create. Wouldn't it be cool if there was a "counterpart" to the "L" shape? ;D These are my ideas to make your good products even better!

Custom themes was something that's been repeatedly promised in forms but I've yet to see. This would be a great feature that I think many assume this device would already have. Also, and more importantly to me anyway, being able to see which output device is selected on the display would be very nice. I swap between headphones and speakers a lot, it would be nice to not have to refer to the app on PC to know which one it's going to use.

Running a Windows Service would allow for the Mix/Mix Create to continue functioning even if the application isn't running. Additionally Windows services can be configured to automatically restart themselves if they fail for some reason, unlike the Beacn application.

Hey, I am a developer, and I LOVE to tweak a bit on everything and everything automated, so I would like the possibility of having a beacn API that would allow you to interact with the hardware to change sound levels, change profiles automatically (by pressing on a button of the streamdeck to change scene for example, change my audio level) etc...

Expand Knob functionality outside of BEACN For example being able to pause/resume media playback on knob press and skipping or going back to a previous track with knob rotation Or best solution to this all: let us make custom functionalities our self via developer options like a python library or other options Inspiration on how to do this could easily be gained from the Streamdeck

This feature is already available on the beacn mix...but I really would like to be able to change what my channels are called....for instance, I can rename Aux 1 to what I'm using it for. Not sure why the higher end beacn product didn't get this feature on release but would very much like to see it available soon!

If you could make it so that for the BEACN Mix Create, you could create voice changer options like autotune, alien voice, reverb, announcer, walkitalkie, stuff like this and make them assignable to a button on the Mix Create, that would be incredible. I love to mess with my chat on twitch or my friends in game and it adds to the atmosphere and humor. It would be really cool if I could just assign the voice changers to their on button on the mix create. I would love it if these were features from BEACN not a company like "Voicemod" as i dont need a million different voice changing options but either a few standard options with more to be added over time. This would be an incredible piece for the software and the BEACN Mix Create.

Having the ability to route sound to other speakers/lines/devices on a PC via the routing table would be very useful.

It would be useful to have a "master" volume knob/control that would allow the beacn mix device to attenuate/scale the volume for all other mix channels. This is something that the Windows volume mixer has, as well as many games and other programs. This improvement would make it easy to scale all audio up or down.
