Custom layout configuration
Using the custom layout editor, you can create completely different looks for your channel - like picture in picture or side-by-side video sources. You can add media like transparent images and custom backgrounds to a layout, then resize and arrange all the different media elements the way you want.

Multiple Layouts on Pearl-2, Pearl Mini, and Pearl Nexus
When you add multiple layouts to a channel, you can switch between the different layouts for a more interesting and dynamic presentation. Each layout you add to your channel adds overhead to Pearl-2, Pearl Mini, and Pearl Nexus, and more complex layouts consume more of the system's resources. So, it's a good idea to delete any layouts you're not using.
