Multi-Camera and Overlays

Multi-camera switching adds visual variety. Overlays add brand + information. Avoid: clutter, low-quality cams.

Multi-cam setup

1. Main cam — wide host shot
2. Close-up cam — face/product
3. Overhead cam — for product demonstration
4. Screen capture — for screen-share content
5. Mobile cam — for handheld/walking shots

Switch via OBS hotkeys or Stream Deck. Plan when to use each.

Overlay design

1. Lower-third name strap — host name, role
2. Top bar — stream title or 'LIVE' indicator
3. Chat overlay — chat visible to viewers
4. Engagement counter — likes, viewers
5. Brand bug — small logo top-right
6. CTA strip — 'Visit cardprepai.com'
7. Donation tracker — for fundraising streams
