ESTAGE Rooms
ESTAGE Rooms is the ESTAGE desktop app for video calls and live shows. It hosts rooms with camera, sound and screen sharing in a window of its own, so a call isn’t a browser tab competing for the camera.
What it does
Section titled “What it does”- Video calls — a native camera pipeline with background blur and touch-up, and clean sound.
- Screen sharing — share a window or the whole screen with everyone in the room.
- Going live — stream the room to your destinations and record it from the app.
Getting the app
Section titled “Getting the app”Download it at genesis.estage.com/download/rooms. It’s also listed on genesis.estage.com/download with the other ESTAGE apps — in Genesis, open Downloads in the header menu. The app is free to download.

To install:
- Mac — open the disk image and drag ESTAGE Rooms to Applications. The app is signed and notarized by Apple.
- Windows — run the installer. It isn’t code-signed, so SmartScreen warns the first time: choose More info, then Run anyway.
There’s no Linux build.
Joining a room
Section titled “Joining a room”Guests don’t need the app. Someone with an invite link opens it in their browser and joins there. The app is for hosting rooms, and for joining them with the full camera and screen-sharing toolkit.
ESTAGE Rooms Signature and booked meetings
Section titled “ESTAGE Rooms Signature and booked meetings”ESTAGE Rooms Signature is the paid product that puts an ESTAGE video room behind your booked meetings. With it, a meeting type can use ESTAGE video room as its location: each confirmed booking gets its own private room, and the invitee joins by the link in their confirmation — no account needed.
You have Signature if either of these is true for the project owner’s account:
- You bought one of the ESTAGE plans it’s included with.
- You bought the ESTAGE Room Signature listing in the Marketplace. If you already own Signature through a plan, the listing shows Included and installs at no charge.
Things worth knowing
Section titled “Things worth knowing”- Signature is checked when each booking is confirmed. If it lapses — a refund, a cancellation, an expired plan — meetings that use the ESTAGE video room are still booked, but get the meeting type’s fallback link instead of a room. Set a fallback link on every meeting type that uses the room.
- Without Signature, the room can’t be chosen as a meeting location, and the meeting booking panel in the builder warns “Estage Rooms is not on your account.” when a meeting type still uses it. See Meeting booking.
- The app updates itself. The download page always offers the latest published version, and a link copied from it keeps pointing at the latest build.
