Hey everyone, 

We’ve rolled out some new features on Stadia. Take a look at our release notes below: 

  • Family Sharing - We have officially launched Family Sharing, which will allow you to share games that you’ve purchased or claimed as a Stadia Pro subscriber with multiple family members. To learn more, take a look at our help center article.
  • Messaging on Stadia - You now have the ability to send messages to other players and members of parties on Stadia. This includes smart replies on gamepads for quick and easy responses. 
  • Capture sharing on mobile and web - You can now share your screenshots and video clips via link on mobile and web. Click the share button in your captures page to generate and share the link.
  • Captures include game chat voice audio - Your own game chat voice will now be recorded in your video captures. 
  • Stadia Profile enhancements - We've updated your Stadia profile to include information such as owned games, friends list, and presence. We’ve also added shortcuts that will allow you to take quick player actions, such as inviting other players to your party.

I'm assuming the messaging feature is still rolling out because I can't see any option to do that.

How about a search function in the store. I believe that's what google is great at? Search engine.

Okay... But when is Messaging actually going to hit the bulk of the Stadia user base? I know I'm still missing that feature and I know I'm not alone.

Great features! But... Capture Sharing DOES NOT work on iOS devices. We should be allowed to at least see a screenshot :face_with_tears_of_joy:

This would be good, but because I can't play games at the same time as my family members I still have to buy games twice to play coop or multiplayer...

Would love to have an option to hear party audio members come through the TV instead of the headphones like ps4 had... Some play in company!

It would be dope to have a central messaging station so you don't have to direct message everyone. Like a snap story but with messages where you could post your captures for the day or alert players that you wanna collab, but aside from that NICE!!

I see messages on the phone app.  Click on someone in your friends list and see if you have a message option.

@Carte004 How do you do this on other platforms? Can you play with a family member on different devices, with one game on ps, xbox or pc?

@DenC it depends on the game and if it supports cross play.

@GaretJax playing together on 2 separate systems with one buy, still not convinced where this is done, and don't know what this has to to with cross play?

Awesome, now, was that so hard? This is exactly what we wanna see. New games and deals are great, but we want to see the platform evolve. Share that stuff. 

Great guys, keep 'em coming!

@DenC I may have misunderstood your question, but you asked,  "Can you play with a family member on different devices, with one game on ps, xbox or pc?"

For that to happen the game would need to support cross-play for you to play against users running the same game on another platform.

It is my understanding that for Stadia Family Share with only one buy or only one Pro subscription, only 1 family member can play the game at a time.  So if my son plays Orcs Must Die on 1 system I can't play it on another without a 2nd purchase or 2nd Pro subscription.
