Live Streaming Plus - Managing the Encoder - Adding Overlay Images – Help Center

Go to Main Navigation Bar > Administration > Settings

Overlay images can be selected and displayed instead of the default encoder output (aka the cameras). For example, you may wish to display an image while the encoder is not streaming, or while the encoder is streaming, you may wish to display an image indicating that “Council is in closed session”, or “Council is on break”. An overlay image is simply an image file, with some properties that can be configured through this screen.

To add an additional video source, click the Add Overlay link below the list of video encoders.

Select an image, complete the required fields, and click Save.

Field	Explanation
Overlay Name	Provide a title for this video source. This value will appear in dropdown menu when selecting a video source.
Mute Audio	Select whether the audio should be muted. If “mute” is selected, this can not be “unmuted” when the video source is being displayed for a stream.
Image	Select an image file to be displayed. Accepted file type is PNG.

Note: To avoid image distortion such as stretching, the image should be 1280px X 720px, and for performance reasons, smaller images are better than larger images. Try to keep the image to less than 1mb.
