Overview

On-screen updates (Agenda/Title/Crawler, also known as Lower Thirds) allow you to:

  • Add text to your broadcast to highlight a topic, ask a question and display important information to your audience

  • Outline your discussion topics, allowing you to maintain focus on your broadcast

  • Add private notes that only you can see

Agenda templates

There are 3 agenda templates available for you to use during the broadcast (Interview, Q&A, Live Sales). These templates are pre-filled with content, which will make it easier for you to organize your broadcast flow and add relevant information.

Feel free to personalize them according to your needs. You may also delete the template if you have already prepared your own agenda.

Reminders

  • Guests will not see agenda items unless the host displays them on screen.

  • Private notes cannot be shared with the audience and will only be seen by the host.
