+**This release adds an option to turn on ApolloVibe's second video stream for seats, and fixes a misleading error in the optional USB driver install.**
+
+## What changes
+
+- **A new option, `MultiSeat:SecondVideoStream` (off by default).** When it is `true`, every seat's Apollo is written with `second_video_stream = enabled`, so a MoonlightVibe client can ask for a second picture of a window in that seat. When it is `false`, the config says `disabled`. The seat config is rewritten each time a seat is provisioned, so the setting follows the option after the next provision. Set it in `appsettings.local.json`, then restart the service.
+- **A seat can show a window, not a whole display.** A seat is a remote-desktop session, and Windows will not add a virtual monitor to one. If a client asks a seat for a display, it gets one stream. A display works on the console host, which needs no MultiSeat setting.
+- **The USB driver signature check now works when Windows PowerShell is started from PowerShell 7** (#141, refs #140). PowerShell 7's module folders came first in the module path, so `Get-AuthenticodeSignature` returned nothing and the check reported `signature status is ''` for a genuine Microsoft-signed file. The check now loads the right module first, and an unreadable signature is reported as unreadable. Nothing is relaxed: a file is still accepted only with a valid signature, the exact signer and the pinned root.
+- **The README** covers the second screen, a corrected port table, and a split troubleshooting entry.
+
+## Who this affects
+
+- **Everyone who leaves `SecondVideoStream` off**, which is the default, sees no change to their seats.
+- **Anyone who runs the optional USB driver step from a PowerShell 7 session.** Before, a genuine driver could be refused with the wrong reason.
+
+## What the second stream needs
+
+- An ApolloVibe build from `v2026.6.1-ms8` or newer. MultiSeat's installer fetches the latest release, so a new install has it.
+- MoonlightVibe 6.4.0 or newer on the client, with "Show a second window" turned on.
+
+## How this was checked
+
+- **The seat option:** seven new unit tests cover the written config line for each setting, and the setting following the option on the next provision. The CI run on `master` passed.
+- **On the reference host:** the Gaming seat was re-provisioned with the option on. Its Apollo log read `second_video_stream = enabled`.
+- **The USB fix:** reproduced on a real host with PowerShell 7's path first, then fixed. The new test fails when the fix is removed.
+
+## Not verified
+
+- **A second window from a real seat** was not tried. A window stream ran in a remote-desktop session like a seat's on a scratch host, and a display stream ran on the console host.
+- **The USB fix on a CI runner.** It is not known whether the one timeout in #140 came from this cause.
+- **The full test suite** for the USB change was not run locally. It ran in CI.
+
+## Install
+
+```powershell
+.\scripts\install-service.ps1 -FromZip .\multiseat-windows-x64.zip
+```
+
+If an isolated Steam is running, the installer stops without changing anything; close Steam first, then run it again. Afterwards, confirm what landed:
+
+```powershell
+& 'C:\Program Files\MultiSeat\MultiSeat.Service.exe' --config
+```
+
+It should report `0.6.26`.
