Using overlays in the Virtual Stage

Elevate the look and feel of your live event! Sequel offers the ability for Hosts to add graphic and text overlays seamlessly onstage!

Updated this week

The Virtual Stage allows Hosts to share text and visual overlays to the stage for the audience to see. To use these overlays, follow the below instructions:

  1. Once within the Virtual Stage as a Host, select the Overlays Icon to the right.

  2. Within the Overlays section, you will find Text Overlays and Visual Overlays.

    1. Text Overlays - As Host, you can select +Add a new text overlay and add a title and subtitle to the overlay. Just note, this is plain text so it will not support links or offer text formatting. Hosts can also select the ellipsis next to any chat message or Q&A question and then Add in overlays to share directly on stage. Once text is added to the Text Overlays section, you simply toggle it on and it will appear in the bottom left corner of the stage for your audience to see. You can delete and edit text overlays at any point.

    2. Visual Overlays - A Host can add a static image to the Visual Overlay section to display on screen. Just note, the image must be a PNG file. This is a great option if you want to display a single image to share your webinar agenda, to have a technical trouble shooting slide in case of emergencies, an event intermission slide, and more. The image should have a 16:9 aspect ratio to display across the entire stage. Hosts and Presenters can be on stage while the visual overlay is enabled, they just will not be seen by the audience. This is a great use case if you would like to display a visual overlay as you transition people on and off stage.

  3. To remove a text or visual overlay, simply toggle it off!
