Scene

What is it?

A scene is a saved arrangement of everything on screen at one moment: which camera, which overlays, which guest windows, which background. A live show is essentially a sequence of scenes, and producing the show means switching between them — exactly like a theater changing sets between acts.

Practical example

A streamer prepares three scenes in OBS before going live:

1. "Starting Soon" — a countdown graphic with background music
2. "Main Show" — their camera, logo in the corner, chat box on the side
3. "Screen Share" — their desktop big, their face small in a corner

During the show, they tap between these like changing TV channels — each tap instantly swaps the entire screen arrangement, no rebuilding anything live.

Key things to know (non-technical)

• Scenes are prepared before the show; live time is for switching, not building.
• A typical show uses 3–8 scenes; complex productions use dozens.
• Scenes can be saved, duplicated, and reused across episodes — the skeleton of a recurring show.
• The concept maps directly to TV: each scene is a "look" the director can cut to.

In Tupic Live

Scenes are the foundation of Tupic Live's studio: creators build their show's looks once, save them per show, and run each episode by tapping between them — the simplest path to making a phone broadcast feel like a produced TV program.
