Can I Rearrange Presenter Cameras in the Studio?

Spotlight specific presenters, change camera sizes, and decide between different layouts all within the BigMarker Studio.

Admins, hosts, and guest presenters who have access to the Host Control Panel have a number of different capabilities when it comes to how the presenter cameras are shown to the audience. Users can make one presenters camera larger to spotlight them, as well as change the look and feel of the cameras in the attendee view by updating layout, size, and rounded corners

Note: Currently, this feature is available only in the Studio — not in BigMarker’s standard webinar rooms. (Learn how to produce professional-quality event streams in the Studio here.)

How to Rearrange Presenter Cameras in Studio

  1. Enter the studio, ensuring that you have admin control in the session
  2. As your presenters turn on their cameras, their camera windows will appear in the center of the Studio, as shown below. You can either click and drag to rearrange the cameras, or single click on a camera to enlarge it. As you make these changes, they'll be reflected in the attendee view.

How to change the layout of the presenter cameras

Along with the options to rearrange, you also have setting in the host control panel that updates how all of the cameras can look to the audience.

These setting primarily affect the webcast live attendee view. However, if you are hosting an interactive webinar, these changes will affect how the recording will look as well.

  1. In the Studio, go to the host control panel and navigate to the Layers and Design section of the settings
  2. In this section you'll find various settings that will update the attendee view:
    1. Layout, camera size and aspect ratio - These settings will change how the content is arranged when you have both cameras and content (video, screenshare or presentation) shown at the same time. Note that layout and camera size settings only affects this scenario,  when your webinar only has cameras being shown then there will be no affect
    2. Video design - here you can update how the camera feeds look overall and if they have rounded corners, microphone icons when their speaking, and if presenter names are shown on the camera box.
