### Push To Streamdeck

Push the contents of the grid to a connected Streamdeck. This action also triggers the creation of small looping thumbnails that will appear on the Streamdeck buttons automatically.

You can switch to a new Streamdeck page using the Streamdeck navigation to load additional videos.

Click the gear icon to expand the layer showing it's contents and additional controls.

### Link Layer

To link the layer to the one below, enable this button.

### Lock Layer

### Delete Layer

### Layer Preview

The left-most thumbnail will display the output of the layer.&#x20;

### Thumbnails

The remaining thumbnails show media populating the grid from left to right using a horizontal scroll bar.&#x20;
