Experience presence syncing with DaVinci Resolve RPC, by elpideus, a Windows utility that connects Resolve to Discord in real time. The tool uses Discord's Rich Presence API to publish current project name and editing status, detecting the Resolve process automatically and offering a system tray presence for background operation. Installation integrates with winget, the project is open-source, and the app maintains a small runtime footprint for desktop editing setups. Editors and content creators on Windows gain visible project presence on Discord for team coordination and sharing availability.

What does the tool report to Discord?

The tool connects Resolve and Discord through Discord's Rich Presence API and publishes live editing details to a user's profile. Reported elements include the current project name and an editing-status indicator, and automatic detection of the Resolve process keeps presence updates aligned to activity. A persistent system tray icon allows background visibility and quick access to enable or disable updates without bringing the editor to the foreground.

Does it slow down your system while running in the background?

The app keeps a small runtime footprint and is designed for background operation via the system tray, so it has low intrusiveness during editing sessions. Automatic process detection removes polling-heavy configuration steps. Compatibility is limited to Windows desktop environments and requires a functioning Resolve installation on the same machine, so performance characteristics depend on that host system's load and available resources.

Is it safe and simple enough for editing teams to run?

Open-source code and GitHub-hosted releases give teams visibility into how the app interacts with Discord, and installation via the Windows Package Manager simplifies deployment across desktops. Users should consult the project's repository to confirm whether Resolve scripting API access or window-tracking is necessary for their setup. The minimalist interface favors straightforward background use, but administrators should verify requirements before rolling out across a studio.

A practical, focused choice for Windows editors with a platform limitation

DaVinci Resolve RPC is a practical option for Windows-based editors who want presence-sharing to Discord during editing sessions; it integrates with desktop workflows and is inspectable because it is open-source. The single clear limitation is platform scope, it requires a functioning Resolve install on Windows, which excludes non-Windows contributors. Editors who work within that environment receive a low-overhead method to communicate project activity to collaborators.
