Add an image (custom channel)
You can use images in your custom channel layouts to create a background for your source, to add your
corporate logo, or to add relevant information about the event you're streaming.
Pearl supports png (PNG)and .jpg (JPEG) images. You can upload any image to a maximum size of
3840×2160, however it's strongly recommended that you upload exactly the size you need to avoid having
your image scaled.
