How to use the Pilot Program

The Pilot Program is a unique feature in SquadCast that allows you to test new and upcoming features before they're available to everyone. This is a free-to-opt-in feature that you can turn on and off anytime.

You can find a full list of Pilot Program Features and our Change Log at https://developers.squadcast.fm/changelog or on our official blog.

How to submit feedback and report issues

You may run into intermittent issues since the Pilot Program is an opt-in beta for new features. If you want to report these issues, select the Pilot Beta button at the top of the Dashboard or Studio to bring up a modal to write in with your report. You can also include screenshots of the issues you encounter, which can be extremely helpful to us.

  1. Select the Pilot Beta button at the top of the Dashboard or Studio.  
  2. Fill out the fields in the modal with your findings and be as detailed as possible.
    • Please note, developers will read your messages as they come in. Remember to be kind and understand that there is a human on the other side of that feedback. Our goal is always to bring you the best of features and we understand any frustrations you may have with the platform. If any feature is causing you trouble please feel free to disable the Pilot Program and return to our stable public release.
  3. If you have a screenshot of the issue, upload a .jpg or .png file by selecting the Upload button.
  4. After completing the form, you can submit it by selecting the Send Feedback button.
