[@CruiseLifeTV]

Hello, thanks for the post. Is there a way to use the PIP feature where the reactions, sitting in front of a green screen overlaid image rather than a box (with no background)? Also can the PIP location be changed to other corners? Thank you for the post.

[@StreamYard]

You can change the PIP location with custom layouts. You would still need a background as it would be your camera being shown.

[@TechMunib]

Good Streaming App Love it

[@ronswallow]

Hi, I'm thinking about using my Streamyard account to do a gaming channel. The In Picture works but I need to make myself a bit bigger. Is there a way to do that?

[@HumancityJunction]

Would it be possible to use a second camera for PIP? For example, I want to use my overhead camera as the main screen with my face cam as my PIP.

[@StreamYard]

Right now, it's ideal for when you share a screen or a video file. If you're using a mobile device as an overheard camera, you can send the "invite a guest" link to that device and switch the camera in the lower corner. I noted your request about having dual camera sources. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@fliptophiphop1894]

how would you record a video and then add an overlayed video in post? im having connection issues when attempting to stream a youtube video while recording myself as well. i dont want to go live while doing it, just record and upload later. i appreciate any help!

[@thatsdaniellelol]

You just have to record the video of yourself, screen record or download the video you’re trying to stream or watch, and in your editing software you have to add the streamed video as Picture in Picture (each software has its own way to get to that feature so I don’t have specific instructions for that cuz idk which software you use) Hopefully this is what you were actually asking for info about

[@Putchuon]

@streamyard Is it possible to get the 3 videos exported separately for better editing? Video 1 - Me Video 2 - My Screen (without me) Video 3 - Both videos combined

[@nlc059]

Can I interact with the chrome tabs clicks etc .... Because I do sports podcasts on my other channel and I have to go to multiple sites clicking etc...

[@StreamYard]

To interact with the Chrome tabs, you would want to share a window and not a single tab, but that should work. What I do is I put everything into a presentation and then share the one presentation. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@WealthEngineering]

What if you could drag the box and place it anywhere on the screen? Like choose a different corner, top right top left etc... Somere in the middle etc

[@StreamYard]

Thanks for the feature request! Can you share it with our Development Team: streamyard.com/contact Thanks! Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@toddmikkelsen6557]

can picture in picture be used for two cameras? Example: showing one camera on the presenter and one camera on a hands-on tutorial?

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! You can do this: with picture in picture, these two windows will be side by side. - Katie 🦆

[@theRockAMPED]

Are they a way to swap the pip screens around. I want the second screen to be the small screen.

[@StreamYard]

Hey! Can you show me which layout you are using? - Katie 🦆

[@anothercharacter]

Is it possible to make yourself bigger in the picture in picture option? And maybe change it to a circle?

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! You can make your camera feed box larger with our Custom Layouts feature: support.streamyard.com/hc/en-us/articles/13828085960724-Custom-Layouts At this time, it can't be a circle unless you create an overlay that covers the screen and has a cut out for the screenshare and your video. Hopefully, we can offer an easier way to do that in the future! - Katie 🦆

[@anothercharacter]

@@StreamYard Thanks for a quick reply! Sounds amazing! Def need to try this out!

[@StreamYard]

Amazing! Happy to help :) Let us know if you need any more assistance. - Katie 🦆

[@frakasha24]

Can this be used in a situation where there are interpreters? So while there are guests on stream there is an interpreter as a PIP?

[@StreamYard]

You can bring your interpreter in as a guest and then switch to the picture-in-picture layout. Everyone would sequence across the bottom of the screen. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

Good Morning Streamyards. I having issues with echoing. When I'm live using streamyard sharing a screen. I have to mute 🔇 myself so my viewers won't get the echoing of the share. So it makes it difficult for me to talk over it. I would have to pause my share. Then un mute myself to talk. Then mute 🔇 again and resume back to the share. How can I be able to prevent echoing for my viewers without doing what I'm doing?

[@StreamYard]

Hi there! If you are experiencing echo, try closing out of all other tabs and applications, and have all guests do the same thing. It can also be helpful to wear headphones, if you are still experiencing echos. We'd love to continue helping you via our 24/7 Live Chat at streamyard.com/contact :) ~Mylon 🦆

[@ufkytalky8657]

Why don't you add "share picture"? (like share video from pc)

What about on phone? That's where i use mine and can't do it

[@convergencederrickmains]

Any way to expand the size of the PIP - the challenge our editors have is that the PIP is so small that if they do need to blowup the PIP person it looks pixelated.

[@StreamYard]

The picture-in-picture is fixed. How are you using the pip feature? Can you explain your situation? Have you experimented with using the news layout? Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@convergencederrickmains]

@@StreamYard we use streamyard everyday and now incorporating a VIBE S1 board into the mix. The PIP function is nice but it would be nice to increase the size of the box, by my calculations the picture in the picture is about 4% of the screen space - we were looking to increase that size to say 10%

[@convergencederrickmains]

we have tried every layout in the studio to increase but still stuck with that tiny box
