Studio interface

A tour of every panel, tab, button and popup in the studio, and what each one does. 26 articles.

AI Production Assistant Panel - Get to know the AI Production Assistant panel in the studio: asking questions by text or voice, the Show me buttons, feedback, and clearing the chat.
Banners Panel - The Banners tab in the side panel holds your banners and tickers and puts them on screen.
Chat Panel - The Chat Panel provides messaging capabilities between session participants.
Chroma Key Options - The Chroma Key Options panel provides background removal controls for video layers.
Comments Panel - The Comments tab in the side panel collects viewer comments from every connected platform in one list, and is how a comment gets put on screen.
Scene Editor - Learn how to select, move, resize, rotate, and edit layers on the scene preview in the middle of the studio, with handy keyboard shortcuts.
Studio Layout Overview - Where everything sits in the evmux studio.
Fast Access Bar - The Fast Access Bar shows a thumbnail for every participant so you can add or remove them from a scene, spotlight them and check their audio and connection.
Header - The bar across the top of the studio. It is hidden on mobile and in fullscreen mode.
Layers Panel - The Layers tab in the side panel. What it shows depends entirely on which scene is open, and that trips people up constantly.
Media Gallery - Uploaded images, videos, audio and documents live in the media gallery.
Music Panel - The Music tab of the left-side tabs panel. It has two sections.
Layer Orientation Label (badge) - A small blue badge on the layer toolbar that tells you whether the layer you are editing belongs to the landscape or the portrait feed in Dual Streaming Mode.
Destination Orientation Toggle (Landscape / Portrait / Both) - A dropdown inside each destination that picks whether the landscape feed, the portrait feed, or both are sent to that platform in Dual Streaming Mode.
Managing Participants - Evmux does NOT have a separate “Participants Panel”. Participants are managed through the Fast Access Bar at the bottom of the editor.
Portrait Layer Controls (hide / lock in dual mode) - Per-layer buttons that hide or lock a layer in the portrait feed while it stays visible and editable in landscape. They appear only in Dual Streaming Mode.
Recording Controls (in the Go Live panel) - Find every recording option in the Go Live dropdown, including local recording and orientation choices, and when you can change them.
Scenes Panel - The column on the far left of the studio, always visible — it is not a tab and does not have to be opened. It holds every scene of the session in two groups.
Settings Panel - A popup with a list of sections down the left and the chosen section’s controls on the right.
Slideshow Controls - The control bar that appears on slideshow layers, with a slide picker and previous and next arrows for moving between slides during a broadcast.
Social Share Modal - A guide to the Share to Social Media window on the Recordings page, where you publish a finished recording to several social platforms at once.
Soundboard Panel - The Soundboard Panel provides quick access to sound effect pads for playing audio clips during broadcasts.
Streaming Mode Switcher - The button group hosts use to set a session’s streaming orientation to Landscape, Portrait or Dual, and the preview switcher speakers see in dual mode.
Tabs Panel - The tabbed column on the left side of the studio, between the scenes column and the scene editor. One tab’s content is shown at a time.
Bottom Toolbar - The row of round buttons under the scene editor. This is where the studio settings gear lives — not in the header.
Video Trimmer Dialog - The Video Trimmer dialog allows you to set the start and end points for video and audio layers.
