Nice feature! In addition to being able to present themes, it gives us one more way to build engagement during a broadcast by creating variety.

[@StreamYard]

It definitely does! Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@SuperFoodParents]

Thanks Christian for bringing this easy to follow tutorial. We may look at adding this one too 😎

[@ChristianKarasiewicz]

Glad to hear you enjoyed the tutorial.

[@wiscoted1]

Great feature! Really gonna look into making more customized backgrounds. Add feature: would love to record multiple clips when using “record only”. So when I stop recording I don’t have to return to dashboard. Already submitted it to SY.

[@StreamYard]

Glad you're enjoying the new feature. It gives you more opportunities to brand your live streams or pre-recorded videos. The ability to record multiple clips is a good idea. Can you please submit it to our team here: forms.gle/1MTHi4hyUxS7DVKU7 Thanks! Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@jesstcorinthiansgodchild]

[@payotimeRamsYT]

You're welcome!

[@ForgottenPodcast]

Great addition! I hope one day we'll have the option to fully customize the size of our layouts but great job guys. :)

This was very helpful thank you!

You're welcome! Thank you for sharing feedback with us. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

I'm very happy to see this feature! It'll be nice to be able to keep my show title (part of my show backgrounds) frozen in the top left even when I go solo with a guest. Thanks and keep up the awesome work, StreamYard! - Tim

[@StreamYard]

Glad to hear! There are a lot of opportunities to brand your live streams using the cropped solo layout. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@TheSamoanWatchman]

Very cool. Could we get a gray button for this along with the other layout shortcuts?

[@StreamYard]

Thanks for the feedback. What do you mean by a gray button? Also, are you asking for hotkeys to switch to these layouts? Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@TheSamoanWatchman]

@@StreamYard Im asking if this feature could be right under the display where we get the other layouts like pnp.

[@StreamYard]

@@TheSamoanWatchman can you submit that as a feature request? When you enable this under Cam/Mic, it changes what you see under that layout. forms.gle/1MTHi4hyUxS7DVKU7 Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@kamunanyaaaaaak]

👌👍👌👍👌👍Nice ❤❤❤❤❤

[@StreamYard]

Thanks 🤗

[@philtasticcomicsandart]

Very cool. If I bring on a guest or a second screen will this effect the background?

[@StreamYard]

You or the guest would appear in the cropped solo layout when soloed. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@WispyBlueBricksGPX]

Can you add a camera layout option because I want to change camera sizes

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! Keep an eye out in the next few weeks! - Katie 🦆

[@WeCoachMentalHealth]

How do you fix the mic of the guests during a live stream other than just using the Volume button. Is there a way to run their mic through a mixer on my end?

[@StreamYard]

Hi there! Hmm, no you can't unfortunately, they are in control of it. What is the issue they are having? Just volume? Let us know! - Katie 🦆

[@WeCoachMentalHealth]

@@StreamYard Okay I will set them up with a Mic and Audio Interface. Does Streamyard have a video recommending what equipment to stream with?

[@StreamYard]

I don't think we do actually! You can definitely check out this video with Mel--kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6umhWNtm8x_fKM many users have success with Yeti, Shure, and RODE products. - Katie 🦆

[@TheSamoanWatchman]

Is it possible to have a video background?

[@StreamYard]

Great question. Version 1 supports static images for the wallpaper/background. Feel free to submit this to us as a feature request here: forms.gle/1MTHi4hyUxS7DVKU7 Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@helmar_rudolph]

Nice, but too many clicks away should be accessible with one click from underneath the video window. I'm using a custom transparent PNG file, although it only overlays rather than zooms.

[@StreamYard]

Thanks so much for the suggestion! You can submit a feature request here for our team to review! forms.gle/1MTHi4hyUxS7DVKU7 ~Mylon 🦆

Hello

[@BennLocutor]

Tem que disponibilizar legenda em Português - Brasil + Subtitles must be available in Portuguese - Brazil

[@StreamYard]

Oi. Você pode ativar as legendas no navegador Chrome. support.google.com/chrome/answer/10538231 Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@JamesTRyder]

yes, informative - thank you. But the struggle of trying to talk to 'us' while trying to also click hre or select there is quite distracting :-)

[@StreamYard]

Good point. For a lot of people, they'll also have a producer or assistant who works with them to manage the production, allowing them to be present on screen. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@MichaelDaniels]

Keep in mind multiple backgrounds are for paid accounts

[@StreamYard]

Thanks, Michael. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆
