Insert and edit images
![]() | Select the Image tool. Choose an image in the shown file browser and press Open. Note: You can also insert an image without the Image tool. Drag and drop an image from your file browser into the canvas or use Copy and Paste from the context menu. |
| Select the inserted image to get the Style Bar and the Bounding Box. |
![]() | Change the opacity of the image using the slider in the Opacity menu of the Style Bar. |
![]() | Crop the image using the Crop tool in the Style Bar. When pressing the Crop button in the Style Bar, the Bounding Box disappears and the Crop Box appears instead. Press the Crop button again to confirm your changes. Note: The image is saved in its original size, so cropping can be undone at any time. |
![]() | Use the handles of the Bounding Box to change the size of the image. Move the image per drag and drop. Note: The corner handles will resize the image with respect to the original ratio. The side handles allow you to resize the image with changing the ratio. |
Stream a live video

| The page will be inserted as an image and can be edited as described for images above. |
