The graphic does not appear on air

A Take returns a success indicator but the broadcast feed stays unchanged. Walk through these checks in order.

Check the in-app preview

• Open the output's preview page.
• Take the layer again.
• If the preview shows the graphic → the problem is between the server and the broadcast tool.
• If the preview stays empty → the problem is in the template, dataset or production.

Preview works, broadcast does not

• Verify the browser source URL in the broadcast tool matches the output URL exactly.
• Verify the browser source's width and height match the output's.
• Verify transparency is enabled on the browser source. A black rectangle over the feed usually means transparency is off.
• In OBS: "Shutdown source when not visible" should be off.

Preview does not work either

• Check the layers list in the production. Is the layer you Took still present?
• Check the dataset bound to the layer. Does it have data? Empty datasets render empty templates.
• Check the template in the editor. Does it render at all with a preview dataset?
• Check the WebSocket connection indicator in the control panel. A red dot means commands never reach the server.

The renderer shows the wrong content

• Confirm the production's output is the one you are capturing.
• Confirm no other production has taken a different layer on the same output (only the last Take wins).
