New in Kue

A nameplate for every
person on screen.

Until now, a show had one lower third — fine solo, a juggle with guests. Now every person you've saved gets their own overlay link, so each guest carries their own nameplate, all on screen at once. Here's the whole setup, start to air.

Already had

The fly-in

One animated lower third you trigger from the Hub with ▲ Show and ▼ Hide. Great for emphasis — introducing a topic, tagging a quote. Nothing about it changes.

New

Pinned nameplates

A persistent name bar per person, each with its own overlay link. They sit under each camera and stay put — your switcher decides when they're on screen.

Setup — about five minutes
01In Kue

Save each person as an identity

Head to Overlays → Lower Third. Type a name, title, and handle, then hit + Save current as identity. Do this once for each host and regular guest — they become chips in Saved identities, your show's roster.

02In Kue

Copy each person's nameplate link

Every identity chip now has a small 🔗 button. Click it and that person's overlay link is on your clipboard — you'll see a confirmation with their name. Each link is theirs alone and keeps working even if you rename them later.

Heads up

You need to be signed in for the links to generate — they're wired to your workspace's database, which is what lets them update live.

03In Ecamm

Add one web overlay per person

In Ecamm Live, press ⌥⌘W to add a web overlay, then for each person:

  • Paste their nameplate link. Set the size to 1920×1080.
  • Turn off “Shutdown when not visible” — this keeps the plate instant when you cut to them.
  • Drag and scale the source so the nameplate sits under that person's camera. The rest of the frame is transparent — only the plate shows.

Three people on screen means three web overlays, each with its own link, each parked under its own camera.

04On air

Run the show

Nameplates live and die with your Ecamm scenes — include a plate in a scene and it's on screen there, cut to a scene without it and it's gone. No buttons to remember mid-show.

The Hub's ▲ Show / ▼ Hide buttons still drive only the fly-in — fire it for emphasis any time, and your guests' nameplates won't budge.

Good to know
No hype. Just the tools.
