    • To resize the frame, drag its corners or edges.
    • To move the frame, drag it to a new position.
      Snap guides appear to help you line up the frame.
  4. To check how the frame looks with more participants:
    • In the layouts dock, choose a layout that shows multiple participants.
    • Click the Participants preview icon in the frame toolbar and choose a number of participants. You can choose up to 8.
      Numbered placeholder tiles fill the empty spots so you can see how the layout arranges itself.
  5. To save the layout size and position, click the Done icon in the frame toolbar.
    To discard your changes, click the Cancel icon.
    Your guests, your recording, and your live stream see the new frame only after you click Done.

Icon.svgGood to know

  • Your background, logo, and overlays still cover the whole video. Only participant tiles stay inside the frame.
  • The frame belongs to the scene, not the layout. When you switch layouts, the frame stays in place.
  • Each saved scene keeps its own frame size and position, so switching scenes also switches frames.
  • Frames saved to a scene are still there for your next session.
  • In the Dynamic scene, the frame lasts for the current session only.
  • When your scenes are locked, editing the frame changes the Dynamic scene and leaves your saved scenes as they are.
  • The layout frame applies to studio sessions and recordings only. It doesn’t carry over to the editor.
