Let’s take a look at Crowdcast’s built-in Studio which allows you to level up your events with professional production elements. The Studio is the last module on the right side of your event view. Only hosts and co-hosts are able to access this feature.
Note that you’ll need to enter the greenroom to add some Studio elements, but you can set these up in advance and then exit the greenroom until you’re ready to go live.
Customize the style and branding of your event by uploading a logo and background image within the Brand section of the Studio. You can upload these image files directly from your device. Hover over each and click Show to reveal them on the stage.
<aside> 💡 Pro Tip: For the stage background, we recommend using a 1920 x 1080 image since the new stage is now 1080p. We don’t have recommended dimensions for your logo. However, you might consider adding some padding to your logo so it doesn’t directly bump into the video tiles.

The Primary Color option sets a color for any Overlays, or lower thirds, that you create. You can use Overlays to display text on stage like names and titles, statements, or conversation topics. Select the 5s option if you want the overlay automatically removed after five seconds or select Show to keep the overlay on stage until you click Hide.
The Videos section allows you to upload and share a video from sites like YouTube or Vimeo. Simply drop a video URL, hover over the uploaded video, and click the green play button to bring it to the stage. You can pause the video from the stage or move the video tile around as needed. When you’re ready to remove the video, you can either click the remove from stage icon or you can click the stop icon from within the studio.
