Summary

Daily's Video Component System (VCS) allows for customization of video layouts, including adding splash screens, toast animations, and watermarks to live streamed and recorded videos. To add a frame to the host's video, either with a margin offset or a background image can be used. The baseline composition is Daily VCS's default collection of layouts and graphical options that can be applied to daily live streamed or recorded video. Adding a "push back" margin to the host's video gives it some room to breathe, while adding a styled frame with a background image provides more flair. This can be achieved by using an image with a transparent center, which is then overlaid on top of the video and displayed using composition parameters such as showImageOverlay, image.fullscreen, and image.assetName.
