Webcam Views and Layout Options

There are a range of layouts available to accommodate webcam, slides and screen sharing for your online events. In this help article, we will be looking at some examples of layouts to give you a better idea of how your live stream will look to your attendees.  You can also select a background image or colour to be displayed behind the webcam and slides.

Speaker Focus

The person that is speaking at that moment will be shown full screen.

Grid View:

In grid view you can display a number of presenters at the same time, and can even select certain speakers who should appear at different points by pinning them in the webcam tool.

Slides with Webcam

There is also the option to display slides alongside your speakers webcam. There are a number of webcam + slide options which give more focus to either the slide content or the presenter to allow you to find the view best suited to your stream. The background on this view (green with streamGo logo as an example below) can be customised or is black by default.

Picture-In-Picture (Slides and Webcam)

This layout allows you to display the slides full screen whilst overlaying the webcam of your speaker. This makes it easier for attendees to see your slides with lots of detail, but you should take into account where the camera will be placed and ensure your slides will not be covered. The webcam can appear either in the top or bottom corner.

Full Screen Slides

This view will show only your slides but will still allow your speaker to be heard. There is also an option of full screen slides without sound which can be used for holding slides etc.
