Version 1.0.2

What's new?

🎙️ Mic On Demand

The microphone is no longer held open for the entire session.

• Mic activates when Talk is pressed and releases immediately when deactivated
• System tray icon now reflects mic state: ⚫ idle, 🟢 active
• Players in Listen Only mode never activate the microphone at all

🚀 Automatic Windows Startup

On first launch, MPVC will ask if you'd like it to start automatically with Windows.

• Click Yes to add MPVC to your startup folder automatically
• MPVC runs silently in the tray — no manual launch needed before joining a server
• Takes effect after the next Windows restart

⚡ Latency Improvements

• Reduced mic bridge broadcast latency from up to 50ms to 1ms

Version 1.0.1

Introduces a live nearby players panel with real-time speaking detection, per-player local mute, and a redesigned HUD — alongside stability fixes and performance improvements.

👥 Nearby Players Panel

All MPVC-connected players within range are now displayed live in the HUD.

• Players with an open mic appear in green
• Players who are speaking are highlighted in bold white
• Muted players show with a strikethrough, but still highlight visually when speaking

🔇 Local Mute

Click any player's name to mute their audio on your end only. Click again to unmute.

⚙️ New Server Option — force_ui_layout

Set force_ui_layout: true in config.json to automatically load the MPVC app into every joining player's UI layout.
