Hi

Is there a shortcut key for removing the overlay and another for adding it again ?

I am particlualrly interested in the "Social" overlay. I would like to be able to easily add and remove the twitter flow, once it is setup.

Thank's

Whit, You can turn an overlay on or off with any shortcut key you assign. You click on SETTINGS in the top right corner:

Settings> Shortcuts > Add

Key = short cut key
Function = OverlayInput1 (for overlay #1)
Duration = Duration you want (ie if you want the overlay to be 5 second = 5000) (I believe 0 means it is permanent).
Input = the input you want to be used as the overlay

Do the same thing but to turn the overlay off

Function - OverlayInput1Off (to turn off overlay input 1). You will assign a different shortcut key to turn it off

Hi Tim

I actually ended up using this shortcut key assignment;

A overlayinput1 5000 Blank2


Thus when I set it up origiannlyy the overlay shows
Using the A key it rmoves the overaly
Hitting the A key again bring the overlay back in

Neat and effective

Thanks again Tim for steering me to this function
