Layouts and their limitations:

Solo (Available for Landscape and Portrait Mode)

This layout showcases one primary source, such as a camera feed, screen share, video, or even an image, filling the entire screen without additional elements. Content creators who primarily rely on one main source, such as solo presenters, instructors, or performers, can effectively utilize the solo layout in OneStream Studio.

Picture-in-Picture (Available for Landscape and Portrait Mode)

Using PiP, you can emphasize certain elements or participants by featuring them in the main frame while providing visibility to other elements in smaller insets. This layout can accommodate a maximum of six participants for the rectangular variation, while eight participants can be accommodated for the circular variation.This layout can accommodate a maximum of six participants for the rectangular variation, while eight participants can be accommodated for the circular variation.

Grid (Available for Landscape and Portrait Mode)

This layout can increase viewer engagement by providing a dynamic presentation. Like other layouts, this option also restricts the number of participants on stage: a maximum of twelve participants for the rectangular variation with margins can be added; without margins, nine can be added. In comparison, three participants can be accommodated for the circular variation.

Cinema (Available for Landscape and Portrait Mode)

It replicates the widescreen format commonly seen in movies, allowing content creators to present their live streams in a cinematic style. It is useful for events, presentations, or performances that aim to captivate audiences with a more cinematic feel. This layout limits a maximum of eleven participants for the rectangular variation, while eight participants can be accommodated for the circular variation.

Reels (Available for Landscape and Portrait Mode)

Using the Reels layout limits the maximum number of participants to eleven for the rectangular variation, while six can be adjusted if the circular variation is selected. It provides additional context to the main content being presented. For example, if you’re streaming a live demonstration or tutorial, you can simultaneously show the presenter’s face or reactions side-by-side without diverting the attention from the main source, providing viewers with a sense of connection and engagement.

Highlight (Available for Landscape)

The highlight layout in OneStream Studio is perfect for emphasizing key elements or moments during a live stream. It allows creators to spotlight specific content, such as important visuals or speakers, by enlarging them and reducing the prominence of other elements. In comparison to different layouts, you can adjust the highest number of thirteen participants if you choose this layout option.

To apply these layouts, there must be more than one participant on the screen, or you need to share external media. This requirement ensures that the layout changes can be visible and make sense with the available content.
