Filler slides display media content on the event stage at the beginning of a Pre-recorded or RTMP session while your video loads, as well as at the end of a session if the pre-recorded video you've chosen is shorter than the duration of the session. Additionally, filler slides are also displayed when presenters are switching between live and pre-recorded content during a Live session.
Adding a Filler Slide to an Event
There are several things to keep in mind before adding a filler slide to your event:
- Filler slides must be uploaded at least 1 hour prior to your event.
- The Goldcast platform accepts filler slides uploads in .jpg, .png, and .tiff file formats.
- To ensure proper display on the event platform, please make sure that your filler slides are 1920x1080px
Follow these steps to upload a filler slide to your event
- Log in to Goldcast Studio with your credentials.
- Click the hamburger icon
on the top left, and select the Events tab to get a list of all your events.
- From the Events list, click the event you want to edit.
- Navigate to the Look & Feel section on the left side of the screen.
- Scroll to the Stage section.
- Scroll to Filler Slide and click +Select Filler Slide.
- From this window, you can either click +Upload Filler Slide, or you can choose a slide you’ve previously uploaded and click Save in the popup window.

A Filler Slide is different from a Buffer Video. If you would like a video to play before an event starts or during a scheduled break, you need to create a buffer or loop video.
