Stream Studio > FAQs > Layouts & Scenes

Stream Studio includes a Preview feature that allows you to monitor the live stream while managing the auction. You can open the preview as a picture-in-picture (PIP) view and move it to another screen, allowing the Scriber to monitor the same feed that online viewers are seeing.

Use Preview

Step 1: Locate the Preview controls in Stream Studio.

Step 2: Select the Picture-In-Picture icon next to the to open a view the live stream in a new window.

Step 3: Move the preview to another screen if required so you can monitor the live stream while continuing to manage the auction.

Step 4: Use the preview to monitor what online viewers are seeing while managing your camera, audio and layouts.

Helpful Tip

A second screen is recommended when using Stream Studio. This allows the Preview to remain visible while you manage the auction presentation and Stream Studio controls. The Picture-In-Picture Preview can also be particularly helpful when using the same laptop for streaming and managing the control panel, as it allows you to view the control panel and what is being presented to the online audience at the same time.
