Stream Display Settings
Customize how your live stream displays photos and videos, and brand it with your event's name, colors and logo.
Good to Know

Event Defaults & Branding
Event hosts can save default display settings and add custom branding from the Stream Settings page. Sign in to your account, open your event, and choose Stream Settings.
The display defaults (columns, image sizing, rotation, instructions footer, and post footers) control how the stream looks when it first loads on a screen. Viewers can still fine-tune the display using the on-screen settings menu described above.

| Instruction Message | Replaces the default intro text in the guest instruction footer |
| Background | Choose the PhotoStream pattern or a plain black background — black works well on projectors |
