Push-to-talk in any app
Your push-to-talk key works while a game or another app has focus. Nexus doesn't need to be the active window.
Screen sharing with sound
Pick a window or a whole screen and share your computer's sound along with it.
Native notifications
Windows notifications, an unread badge on the taskbar and a flashing window when someone mentions you.
Streamer mode
Nexus detects when streaming software is running and can hide personal information automatically.
Automatic updates
Updates download in the background. One click restarts Nexus on the newest version.
