Easily configure multiple scenes in webinars to create a more branded, refined experience for your audience and an advanced way of managing production during events.
With scenes, you can arrange multiple layouts on one simple screen and use customizable options including lower thirds, logos, overlays, and backgrounds to enhance your webinar. You can pre-build scenes before your webinar starts or create them in the live room. Below, you’ll find a step-by-step guide on how to set up Scenes for your next webinar or event.

Below, you’ll find a step-by-step guide on how to set up Studio Scenes for your next webinar or event.
Before your webinar goes live, you can set up Scenes in the preview webinar room.
Find the “Manage Webinar” tab on the backend of your webinar page, then click “Preview Webinar Room” on the left navigation menu. Then, go to the Scene Builder tab on the left navigator in Studio preview.
Click the “+” button to add a new scene or to use a scene template.
When the webinar is live:
Click the “Enter” button to enter the webinar.
*Please Note Studio must be turned on. This setting is on by default.
Click the “Scene Builder” icon in the left navigation menu.
Click the “+” button to add a new scene or to use a scene template.
You can create templates of scenes by clicking the vertical ellipsis symbol next to the scene then “save as template”. Templates can be found on your BigMarker home page at the bottom of the left navigation menu.
In the producer scene builder you will see a preview version on the left showing original content, as well as a live version on the right. The version on the right will show your content with any customization options you’ve chosen. There are 5 “source options” to customize:
Presenter Cameras – Rounded corners, show mic icon, presenter names, presenter name size
Media- Presentations, Videos, Audio clips
*Please Note only 1 media source can be associated with a single scene.
Overlays
Lower Thirds & Logos
Backgrounds
When you’re done creating your scene you can click the “push live” button to share the customized scene with attendees.
Additional Notes:
*When managing webcams: Whether a presenter or attendee with mic/cam access is in the green room, hidden from the attendee view, or off-stage with camera off, if their camera is ON for a scene and scene is pushed, they'll be brought on-stage with their camera ON.
*If presenters or attendees with mic/cam access are brought to the green room or off-stage , they can be associated with a scene as well. You will see their name appear in the Presenter list
*When you copy your webinar your scenes will carry over to your new webinar.
*Scenes are dynamic. If content is shared by admins or presenters in the Presenter tab of Studio, it will override the scene setting. You will need to go back to the scenes tab and push the scene live again.
