Add an image overlay to your studio

« To Customize and brand your studio: Overview

Add an image overlay to your studio for a personalized and branded live experience. Images with transparent backgrounds are supported, allowing you to add frames, icons, arrows, and other graphics without obscuring your video content.

Icon.svg Good to know

  • The image overlay is visible to anyone who enters the studio and is included in live streams. It appears in the cloud recording, but not in the individual high-quality tracks.
  • Overlays are automatically supported when going live (via livestream or webinar).
    When recording in a non-live environment, make sure the studio’s aspect ratio matches your overlay, to avoid cropping or scaling issues.
  • Users on the Free, Standard, and Pro plans can only access and use the Riverside image library. Uploading custom images is not available on these plans.
