Product Update: Full-screen Controls for Webex Events Production Studio and Backup Stream for RTMP
Platform 7.2
Event App 44.0
Studio 2.9.0
We're kicking off 2025 with two key new features in the world of streaming! Watch the release video or keep reading to learn more. 🎥
Full-screen Controls
Our spacious and convenient Full-Screen Controls enhance the broadcasting experience in Production Studio! Producers and speakers can enter this mode by clicking the full-screen icon located at the bottom right of the stage, or by using a keyboard shortcut.
In full-screen mode, any mouse movement or keyboard input will display the control bar, at the bottom of the screen, and the sidebar, at the right of the screen. The control bar includes essential tools such as Mute/Unmute mic and Start/Stop camera. We've also added Interaction Bubbles in full-screen mode to let you preview Studio chat messages and audience interactions (chat and Q&A) in real-time.
Learn more about Full-screen Controls and Interaction Bubbles in our Getting Started with Webex Events Production Studio article.
⭐️ As a last note in the realm of Production Studio, we've changed the name of the Media tab to Overlays. Since images and videos added here always appear on top of everything else when added to the stream, this new name is a better fit.
Backup Stream for RTMP
Who doesn't like having a fallback option? The new Backup Stream feature acts as a safeguard, automatically redirecting the broadcast to the backup stream if the primary stream encounters any technical issues caused by a 3rd party streaming tool. Get all the ins and outs on backup stream RTMP URLs and Stream Keys in our Stream to Webex Events from Third-party Software with RTMP article.
