Add a name / lower-third
Last updated July 24, 2026
A lower-third is the on-screen nameplate that shows a person's name and title. Web Studio lets you add one as an overlay.
Add a name overlay
- Enter Web Studio.
- Open the Brand panel (Brand Kit) in the right-hand sidebar.
- Turn on Show Name Overlays.
- Names come from host and guest display names set when joining, and the host title from pre-flight.
- Pick a preset theme or customize the font, colors, name/title size, and position.
- The name overlay appears on your canvas and goes out with the broadcast.
Style options
You can customize:
- theme, colors, and font
- name and title size
- position on screen
There are no animation style or duration timer controls for name overlays.
When to use it
- Introduce a guest when they first speak.
- Show your own name and title at the start of a stream.
- Highlight a speaker during a panel or interview.
Good to know: Lower-third styles pull from your brand kit when one is configured, so your nameplates match your other overlays automatically.
