Layouts, scenes, branding, and on-screen content

Layouts, scenes, branding, and on-screen content control what viewers see during a live broadcast. Set the visual basics before going live, then switch layouts or show scenes as the session changes.

Use layouts

• Layouts define how live presenters and shared media are arranged on the stage.

• Presenter Focus is useful when one speaker should fill the stream.

• Presenter Grid is useful for panels and group discussions.

• Media With Presenter, Media Picture in Picture, and Media Focus are useful when screen share, slides, or files are part of the segment.

• Custom layouts let hosts position presenter webcams and media for a repeatable production style.

Use scenes

• Scenes overlay content on top of the active layout.

• Use scenes for lower thirds, segment labels, announcements, or branded overlays.

• Create scenes before the broadcast where possible, then activate them during the live show.

• Stop a scene when it should no longer appear over the stream.

Set branding and design

• Use the Design panel to configure background color or imagery, tile spacing, tile borders, and presenter labels.

• Use workspace or broadcast defaults to keep repeated broadcasts visually consistent.

• Check the stage preview after making design changes, especially if you use a detailed background image.

• Keep labels readable against your chosen background and presenter tiles.

Use on-screen content

• On-screen content is best for timely moments such as promoted questions, poll results, highlighted comments, or reusable graphic items.

• Prepare reusable content before the broadcast if you know the moments you want to show.

• Promote live content only when it adds context for viewers.

• Remove promoted content once the moment has passed so the stream does not feel cluttered.
