| ← Layouts | Manual |
The Camera Callout opens when a camera device overlay is clicked on a Layout canvas. It is a resizable, draggable floating window (default 711 × 400 px) that provides live and playback video along with a full set of camera management controls.
When opened, the callout displays the camera’s live video stream. If the user lacks the camera:live permission, a “no permission” message is shown instead. If the camera feed is disabled or offline, a No Camera Feed overlay is displayed.
A stream selector bar (live mode only) allows switching between available streams if multiple are configured.
The toolbar auto-hides after a short period of inactivity and reappears on mouse movement. Available buttons depend on device capabilities and the user’s permissions:
