Adding and Arranging Guests in a Scene

After inviting a guest, the next step is placing them into the scenes you want them to appear in — guests won't show up anywhere in your broadcast until they're added to a scene. This article covers adding a video feed, choosing or building a layout, and assigning your guests to it.

Adding a Video Feed to Your Scene

From your list of scenes, choose the one you'd like to add a guest to, then click the elements button in the top-right menu.
Select Live Sources from the flyout.

Choosing a Layout

Pick a layout style based on how many guests you want in the scene. Once you select a style, it's added to your scene preview.

? Tip: If you want more than one guest in a scene, you can choose a style with multiple slots (like "Three Top"), or add each guest individually using multiple "One" style feeds for more control.

Building a Custom Arrangement

Prefer not to use a preset layout? You can skip it and add individual video feed windows instead, placing and resizing each one exactly where you want it — guest on the left, guest on the right, with a meter in between, for example, or a guest tucked into an overlay.

? Note: Any video feed element can be moved and resized freely, whether you started from a preset layout or built your own from scratch.

Assigning Guests to the Layout

Once a video feed has been added to your scene, a Build option appears in the right-hand menu — that's where you choose which guest fills that feed.

Single Guest

Select the guest's name from the dropdown to place them in the feed.

Multiple Guests

With a multi-slot layout, each window is numbered. Find the number of the box you want a guest in, and assign them there.

? Tip: You can also skip the Elements and Build steps entirely by dragging a guest straight onto your scene canvas — this creates a new video feed for them if one doesn't already exist, or places them into an existing empty feed if you drop them there.

? Important: Once your guests are placed in a scene, they'll automatically appear there the moment that scene goes live — there's nothing more to do once you're streaming.
