An overlay is a short line that shows across the top of every phone in the show, whatever mode is playing. Use it for “Show starts in”, “Short break, back soon” or “Last call at the bar”, with a countdown if you like.

​
Prepare overlays

Keep up to 12 overlays ready. Each has:
  • Text, up to 60 characters.
  • Countdown: none, Until a time on the event’s clock, or For a while, a number of minutes from the moment it goes on air. At zero the overlay comes down by itself.

​
Put one on air

Choose Put on air next to an overlay. One overlay is on air at a time: a new one takes the place of the last. Choose Take off to remove it. Saving changes to an overlay that is on air changes it on every phone.
Overlays go on air once the event is published.
