Building Scenes

In this article we'll build scenes so your viewers can see your camera, guests, video clips, background images, and more.

Once you've added the feeds and assets you'll be using in your show, you're ready to build scenes. This is how you control what your viewers are seeing.

Adding, Pinning, and Soloing elements

Click on feeds and assets to add and remove from your scene. The layout will adapt automatically to make space for the element you've added.

Pin (📌) a feed to emphasize it. This works well for screen shares and video assets that you want your viewers to focus on.

Solo (👤) an element to hide everything else, except for overlays (see below). Click again to unsolo, restoring the scene you had before.

These changes are immediately visible to your audience. One click is all it takes, then you can get back to focusing on performing.

Adding elements as overlays

If you don't want any of these automatic layouts, you can also add any element as an Overlay using the overlay button () This allows you to control exactly where the element will appear, and always places it on top of everything else. They even remain on screen even when you solo a feed.

Overlays are great for adding brand logos, watermarks, lower-thirds, and more.

When you are adding an overlay and choosing its size, your audience can't see it yet. It becomes visible once you save its location.

Orientation & Stream Settings

Click on the Stream settings button (⛭) to change between portrait and landscape orientation. You can also adjust the resolution and frame rate of your stream.

Tip: depending on the strength of your computer and internet connection, attempting to output 1080p at 60fps can actually be too demanding and result in worse quality than 720p at 30fps.

Styling & Layout Settings

Click the Layout settings button to adjust the arrangement of the elements in the scene.

Click the Background brush button to change the background color, or use a custom asset as a background instead of a solid color.
