Can I share another video from my channel as screen share in broadcast?

- Totally possible
Any chance of full PiP when screen-share eg camera thumbnail in full screen-shared screen?
- Had a lot of requests for this
- There is chance this is coming
- We want to keep simple
- May look to offer to substitute out the layouts one for another
Any plans to add more layouts ?

- But also keeping ease of use
- Limited number of layouts, but allowing you to choose which you want available
Does Streamyard work fine for YouTube Members?

- It tags name to show they are member
- When showing their comment it will highlight they are a member
How can we switch from Periscope from Twitter?
- Should still work
- There will be formal full switch
- There is a document on this in help section
- Hoping Twitter will add more features
Can we get way to multi select video / overlays in bulk to add / remove as one by one is time consuming?
