Talkback to guests

Talkback allows you to communicate with your contributors via a microphone input of your choice. This is useful for checking your guests are ready to go live, making them aware of any last minute changes or instructing them on being in the correct position within the frame. 

Talkback to contributors can be achieved in multiple ways. 

Firstly though, you'll want to make sure your talkback microphone and headphones are configured. To do so, select Settings & Preferences from the main menu.
