[Placeholder slides](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/artwork-guidelines-single-event-app#virtual_rooms_all) are for virtual sessions specifically. When a session is broadcasting, attendees see the speaker's camera stream in the speaker frame and the slides or screen being shared in the slides frame. By default, the slide frame is the largest one. ![Screenshot 2026-08-17 at 14.39.59](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-17%20at%2014.39.59.png?width=670&height=346&name=Screenshot%202026-08-17%20at%2014.39.59.png) The placeholder slides will be shown in the following cases: - When attendees enter the room, but the broadcast hasn't started yet - When the broadcast has started, but there is no presenting speaker selected - During the session, when no one is presenting slides or sharing their screen (slides placeholder only). - During the session, when you are playing a video that has just 1 frame (speaker placeholder only) ### Upload a default placeholder slide 1. In the event studio, go to *Settings*. Scroll down to *Placeholder images.* Both image sizes should be 1280 x 720 px. 2. You will see the fields for *Slides frame* and *Speaker frame*. You can either browse for the image by clicking on the frame or simply drag and drop the desired image into one of the frames. ![Screenshot 2024-03-18 at 16.38.46](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-03-18%20at%2016.38.46.png?width=670&height=331&name=Screenshot%202024-03-18%20at%2016.38.46.png) When default placeholder slides are added, they appear on all sessions. Thus, these slides should be generic: for example, picturing the logo/name of the event or a general welcome message. If any of the sessions should have a specific placeholder for either the slides or speaker frame, the moderator of that session can [add one manually from their dashboard](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/moderator-dashboard?hsLang=en). - [For organisers](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-organisers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Artwork guidelines](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-organisers?hsLang=en#artwork-guidelines) - [Floq Event Registration](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-organisers?hsLang=en#floq-event-registration) - [Set up your app and add events](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-organisers?hsLang=en#set-up-your-app-and-add-events) - [Configure your event](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-organisers?hsLang=en#configure-your-event) - [Community and attendees](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-organisers?hsLang=en#community-and-attendees) - [News messages](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-organisers?hsLang=en#news-messages) - [Interactive features](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-organisers?hsLang=en#interactive-features) - [Virtual sessions](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-organisers?hsLang=en#virtual-sessions) - [Sponsors](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-organisers?hsLang=en#sponsors) - [Integrations](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-organisers?hsLang=en#integrations) - [Advanced features](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-organisers?hsLang=en#advanced-features) - [App promotion](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-organisers?hsLang=en#app-promotion) - [Analytics](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-organisers?hsLang=en#analytics) - [Download your event info](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-organisers?hsLang=en#download-your-event-info) - [Off-boarding](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-organisers?hsLang=en#off-boarding) - [For moderators, speakers and representatives](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-moderators-speakers-and-representatives?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Vote & Ask moderators in non-virtual sessions](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-moderators-speakers-and-representatives?hsLang=en#vote-ask-moderators-in-non-virtual-sessions) - [Representatives](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-moderators-speakers-and-representatives?hsLang=en#representatives) - [Technical moderators (AV) for virtual and hybrid sessions](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-moderators-speakers-and-representatives?hsLang=en#technical-moderators-av-for-virtual-and-hybrid-sessions) - [Moderators, speakers and hosts in virtual sessions](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-moderators-speakers-and-representatives?hsLang=en#moderators-speakers-and-hosts-in-virtual-sessions) - [For attendees](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/for-attendees?hsLang=en) - [Release notes](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/release-notes?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Latest versions](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/release-notes?hsLang=en#latest-versions) - [Older versions](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/release-notes?hsLang=en#older-versions) - [Publish apps on the stores](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/publish-apps-on-the-stores?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Create accounts](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/publish-apps-on-the-stores?hsLang=en#create-accounts) - [Create app certificates and keys](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/publish-apps-on-the-stores?hsLang=en#create-app-certificates-and-keys) - [Create build file and screenshots](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/publish-apps-on-the-stores?hsLang=en#create-build-file-and-screenshots) - [Submit your app to the Stores](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/publish-apps-on-the-stores?hsLang=en#submit-your-app-to-the-stores) - [Transfer apps](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/publish-apps-on-the-stores?hsLang=en#transfer-apps) - [Offboarding](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/publish-apps-on-the-stores?hsLang=en#offboarding) - [About Conference Compass and Floq Event Management](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/about-conference-compass-and-floq-event-management?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://knowledge.conferencecompass.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CC-logo%20(2).png?width=115&height=30&name=CC-logo%20(2).png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.conferencecompass.com/) Copyright © 2026, Conference Compass
