Feature Overview: Scenes

Scenes allow users with Admin permissions to build, customize, and manage multi-source display layouts for live events. Instead of selecting webcams and media feeds one by one during the show or relying on a separate producer tool, you can now pre-assign video sources, configure audio behavior, and upload custom backgrounds within the Presenter Console. These locked presets can then be tied directly to presentation cues, providing a reliable and professional visual workflow throughout your event.

Where to find it:
Look for Add Scene in the Presentation Timeline, and add a new scene to create the first scene. 

Creating Scenes

Name the Scene: Enter a descriptive name for your scene. 

Select Layout & Style: Choose the number of sources required, then select your preferred layout style (e.g., Grid, Side-by-Side, Overlay). 

Assign Sources: Select the video source you want to display in each region of the layout. 

Configure Audio & Auto-Select (Optional):

• Auto-switch active speaker: Check this option to automatically focus on or switch to whichever speaker is actively talking.
• Additional audio: Select this option if you need to include extra audio feeds in the scene.

Click Save to lock in your configuration.

Using Slides with Scenes

Once you have created all the scenes for your event, you can integrate presentation slides directly into them. Upload your presentation, and the slides will automatically be added to your scenes. 

(See our supported slide formats.)

Reordering Scenes and Slides

You can arrange scenes and slides to match your presentation flow using either the Presentation Timeline or the Slide List.

Method 1: On the Presentation Timeline

Click and hold the scene or slide you want to move, then drag and drop it into your desired position.

Method 2: In the Slide List

Navigate to Content > Slides. Select Slide List.

Click and hold the item you want to move, then drag and drop it into place.

Your scenes and slides are now aligned and ready for your presentation.

Managing Scenes During a Live Event

Navigate in sequence: Use the PREV and NEXT buttons to advance through scenes just like presentation slides. Clicking NEXT immediately switches to the next scene, which remains on screen until you change it.

Jump to a specific scene: Click directly on any scene in the list or timeline to switch to it instantly.

Notes:

Auto-Start on the First Scene:
If a scene is placed first on the timeline, it will be automatically taken live when you click Start Webcast. If no scene is placed first, the broadcast will default to your primary input source.

Reusing an Existing Scene:
To use a previously created scene again, click the Scene icon on any scene slot/card, then select the existing scene from your library.

Adding a new scene during Live event.

You can add a new scene during live, simple click +Scene on the Presentation Timeline.

Reordering Scenes:
To change the order of your scenes on the timeline, click and hold the scene you want to move, then drag and drop it into your desired position.
