How to use El Gato Stream Command works by using separate Scenes.
Each Scene can have an unique layout, where a Webcam and/or Images are placed at various locations over your video.
There are a total of 9 Scenes that you can use. Each one is numbered from 1 to 9.
To layout a Scene, first select it in the Stream Command section of Elgato Game Capture HD. That section is directly above the red Capture button.
You can toggle the Stream Command section to show or hide by clicking on the disclosure triangle.
In the screenshot below, the first scene is selected, with a blue highlight.
Edit Scenes
After you highlight a Scene, you can use the Edit Scenes button to change it.
Below the Edit Scenes option, there are two buttons.
One is to add a Webcam - it looks like a camera, along with a "+" sign.
The other one is to add an image - it says "pic +".
You can only edit Scenes if Elgato Game Capture hardware is connected to your computer.
