To show two or more sources at once, such as two speakers, a presenter with slides, or a before-and-after comparison.
Video Glossary
Split Screen
Split screen is a technique that divides the frame to show two or more videos at once.
What is split screen?
Split screen divides the video frame so two or more sources appear at the same time. You might show two speakers side by side, a presenter next to their slides, or a before-and-after comparison in one shot.
Why split screen matters
Split screen lets you show relationships. It keeps a host and guest on screen together, pairs a face with a screen share, or compares two things directly. That makes conversations and demos easier to follow than cutting back and forth.
When to use split screen
It works well for interviews, reaction videos, product comparisons, and any time context matters as much as the main subject. Keep the layout balanced and make sure captions and key details stay readable.
Split screen in webinars and clips
Multi-speaker sessions are a natural fit. In Livestorm, you can present several people or a speaker with content at once, and that layout carries into the clips you cut from the replay.
