Using a Camera Source as an Overlay
By default, live cameras are shown as full-screen in Switcher Studio. However, you can easily turn any camera into an overlay, which allows you to show the full camera feed on top of other backgrounds like full-screen images, other camera angles, shared screens, and prerecorded video assets.
