With the new Scenes feature, setting up your livestream has never been easier.
Previously, adding elements such as guests, screens, and presentations required manual adjustments, one at a time. Now, this new feature allows you to plan your entire setup in advance and bring everything on screen with a single tap during your broadcast.
👉🏻 What Are Scenes?
A Scene is a pre-configured arrangement that captures everything you add to the stage. It enables you to structure your broadcast like a well-organized presentation. Each scene can include:
-
Assigned cameras, guests, and media
-
Custom layouts and positions
-
Backgrounds, overlays, and banners
-
Video clips and other visual elements
Scenes are available to all StreamYard customers. Explore the demo we’ve prepared and start setting up your own today!
👉🏻 How to Use Scenes
You can create a Scene from the dedicated Scenes tab by clicking on "New Scene". You can choose between different default layouts:
-
- Speaker view
- Group Discussion
- Media Presentation
Once the scene is created you can edit it as you wish by:
- Assigning participants and media to specific scenes
Create the scene and then add your media by clicking on Present. The file will be automatically added to that scene.
If you wish to add a different file, just click on Remove to remove the file from the stage and click on Present to add the media you prefer. - Defining their placement and layout
You can modify the layout of each scene by selecting the option you want in the layouts toolbar. For more details on Layouts refer to our article Layouts and Custom Layouts. -
Enhancing visuals with overlays, banners, and clips.
Each scene can be customized independently with different banners, overlays, and video clips. You can design each detail of your live stream experience in advance.
- Seamlessly transitioning between scenes during your broadcast.
By preparing your scenes ahead of time, you can focus on engaging with your co-hosts, guests, and audience without worrying about on-the-fly adjustments.
