How to Upload Graphics for Live Streams in Video Center
Video Center gives you the ability to add graphics to live streams as an editable lower third or a small logo or bug in the upper right or left of the frame.
Uploading graphics
Steps to follow:
1. Go to ‘Utilities’ tab in Video Center
2. Click the tab ‘Live Graphic Templates’
 |
3. You will see an empty space if you have not uploaded graphics previously, or a list of graphics. You’ll also see an ‘add graphic’ blue button. Click this button to upload a left or right bug.
 |
4. Enter name, type (left bug or right bug), upload the image. FOR MULTISITE partners the ‘allow all’ means that the graphic will show up for ALL of your websites, deselect the ‘allow all’ to select specific websites or website groups to share the graphic with. For SINGLE WEBSITE partners, keep ‘allow all’ checked and the graphic will show up for your one website.

Adding graphics to a live stream
Inside of Video Center, click on the Live Event tab in the top menu bar. Select the event you would like to add a graphic to by clicking on the headline of the event. In the upper left hand corner, you will see three tabs - Details, Graphics and Live Preview. Select the Graphics tab.
 |
You will then see a preview window on the left and the three graphic options to the right. "Lower Third" will give you a text field where you can add in your lower third copy, such as "Breaking News". "Left" and "Right" will give you options that have been added to the system (steps above). Each of these elements will need to be "activated", which does take a minute or two to happen.
 |
Once the graphic is active, you will see it in the preview window, and on the published live stream.
