FAQ

Do my media sources have to take up the whole screen?

No, you can choose from multiple layouts and focus on different elements. For example, you can place your camera feed next to a presentation to show both at the same time, or you can full-screen a video without additional distractions around in.

Can I customize my scenes?

Yes, each scene can be customized individually, allowing different designs for different sections of your stream. Scenes auto-save the design you apply in Studio, enabling seamless transitions.

Is the auto-switch option available only for Countdowns?

Currently, yes, but our team is working hard to bring auto-switch to more scenes. Meanwhile, you can manually switch scenes with a single click or use shortcuts.

💡 Scenes come in various formats to fit all your needs.
