A laptop overlay desk connected to the streaming PC canvas, so scenes can be laid out from another room

ExploreStudioProducer

Producer

Run the overlay desk from anywhere.

Invite a Producer, or open Live Center yourself. Lay out scenes and overlays from a browser. When Studio is open, Switch takes a scene live. When it is closed, pick a cloud profile on that tab, and Studio picks it up next time that profile is open.

Get startedRead the launch
✓A staff seat on the same desk as mods
  • Edit any scene without cutting the one on air
  • Move, resize, show, hide, and add overlays
  • Mute, volume, and duck tracks from the mixer
  • Create and edit elements, including Element Builder
  • Work on the setup when you are not at the streaming PC

Capture devices, encode, and go-live stay in Studio on the streaming PC. Moderators stay on chat until you promote them.

How it works

Invite a seat. Open the tab. Lay out the scene.

01

Studio signs in first

Sign in on the streaming PC so a cloud profile exists. Get Studio from Downloads. The Producer tab lights up from that profile, or live when Studio connects.

02

Invite, or use it yourself

Owners and admins already have the tab. To give someone else the overlay desk, invite them as Producer in Settings, Staff. They sign in on their own account and land in Live Center.

03

Edit, then take live

Open a scene without cutting program. Move overlays and captures, show or hide layers, mute or duck audio, create an element. Switch takes it live when Studio is connected.

Two modes

Studio open, or Studio closed

Same tab. Different job. During the show it remotes the live canvas. Off the PC, it is still how you work on the setup.

Live

Studio is connected

The tab remotes the canvas. Prep a scene here. Program stays put until Switch. Your overlay person can take BRB without sitting in your chair.

Away

Studio is closed

The same desk edits a cloud profile you pick. Open Live Center from a laptop at work, or Edit in Producer from Studio in the control panel. Studio loads those edits the next time that profile is open on the streaming PC.

Stay on the PC

Go-live stays local

Capture devices, encoder, Scene Builder, and Go live stay in Studio. Producer is the overlay desk, not a remote desktop of the whole app.

On the tab

What a Producer can do

Scenes

Layout without cutting

Click a scene to open that layout here. That does not cut Studio. Switch when that scene should go on air.

Layers

Move, resize, show, hide

Schematic move and resize of overlays and captures. Add an overlay you already have, or remove a layer from the scene.

Elements

Create and edit

Create a new element from the tab. Edit opens the existing editor, including Element Builder. Delete and regenerate overlay URLs stay with owners and admins.
