Find your way around

The stage, the five panels along the bottom, and the top bar.

Arrange the docks your way: drag the gaps between docks to make one wider, drag the line above them to make them taller (and the picture smaller), and press – in a dock's header to hide it; the + at the end of the row, or View › Docks, brings it back (and Reset the layout puts everything back). Your layout is saved with your backup, so another browser looks the same.

• The stage (the big picture) is what your viewers see. Click a thing on it to select it; drag to move it, drag a handle to resize, hold Alt while dragging a handle to crop.
• Scenes: your different screens. Click one to switch to it.
• Sources: what's in the current scene. The top of the list is drawn in front.
• Audio mixer: everything you can hear, with a meter and a volume slider each.
• Transition: how one scene changes into the next (a cut, a fade…).
• Controls: Go live, Record, the replay buffer, studio mode and settings.
• Stats: how hard your computer is working, and how the stream is doing.

The top bar has the flint menu (scene collections, profiles, import and export, help), undo and redo, Controls (hotkeys, Stream Deck, MIDI, alerts), backup, and settings.
