Zuddl Studio is a browser-based production control room that lets marketers, event producers, and even subject-matter experts produce quality broadcasts without hardware switchers or post-production teams. Every control—speaker green room, scene builder, lower-thirds, media roll-ins, multistream routing—lives in one tab, so you can go from rehearsal to live to on-demand replay without changing tools or downloading software.

​
Backstage-to-stage workflow

When presenters click their magic link, they land Backstage, a private area where they test camera, mic, and slides while producers arrange scenes. Only after you press Send live do they appear on the attendee stage. The separation means speakers can rehearse answers, adjust lighting, or swap slides mid-show without the audience seeing the scramble, preserving broadcast polish and reducing on-air errors.

​
Scene builder

Scenes are reusable layouts that define which inputs—cameras, screenshares, videos—appear, where they sit, and how they animate on entry. Building scenes ahead of time lets you rehearse complex run-of-show segments like “Keynote with side-by-side ASL interpreter” or “Panel of four with branded background.” A single click swaps scenes live, eliminating awkward layout shuffles and keeping visual rhythm consistent.

​
Custom layouts

Beyond presets, producers drag bounding boxes to create asymmetric picture-in-picture, sponsor-logo fly-ins, or vertical-video frames. With custom layouts, you can customize the stage layout while still accommodating one-off creative demands.

​
Layered graphics & overlays

Upload PNG or video overlays—frames, logos, sponsor bugs—and assign them to layers that persist across scenes or appear for specific segments. Because layers are global, you avoid duplicating the same logo in every scene and can toggle sponsorship graphics on or off as contractual obligations require.

​
Lower thirds & banners

Editable templates pull speaker name and title from the guest profile, then animate on cue. The automation means no copy-paste errors mid-stream and consistent typography across sessions. Producers fire a banner—“Q&A coming next”—to set audience expectations, nudging engagement without interrupting the presenter.

​
Media roll-ins

Upload MP4s or MOV files into the Media tab and cue them like: intro stings, product ads, or tutorial clips. Zuddl caches media locally, so playback starts instantly and always at frame one.

​
Screen share & pre-loaded slides

Speakers can share a window, tab, or full screen, but best practice is uploading a PDF deck to slides. Slides run server-side, so resolution stays crisp on any attendee bandwidth, and producers can advance pages if a guest loses track.

​
Request-to-Join & guest Seats

With Request-to-Join enabled, attendees can raise a virtual hand; producers preview their camera backstage, then promote them to the live scene. The feature adds spontaneity for AMA sessions while still giving moderators power over inappropriate video or audio.

​
Multi-destination streaming

Under Output Settings you can paste RTMP credentials for YouTube, LinkedIn, or a custom RTMP-based source. Zuddl then fan-outs the encoded stream, preserving bit-rate and overlays, so you reach multiple platforms without local CPU strain or extra encoders.

​
Session recordings

Studio records the session with and without a background. Editors can use a single camera for highlight reels, while compliance teams keep an untouched archive. Files land in the Recordings tab on the Zuddl dashboard minutes after the session ends, ready for trim-and-publish workflows.
