Match output frame size with aspect ratio of input signal
The output frame size is automatically matched only for a layout that has one source. If you have layouts
with different frame sizes, switching them while live streaming will cause an interruption and restart of
the stream. The same thing happens if you change the resolution of your source while streaming. You can
change the output frame size on channels to match the aspect ratio of the video source to avoid this
problem.
Change the output frame size of a channel to match the aspect ratio of the video source using
the Admin panel
