Tight space versus a perspective stage
player-single is a compact current-line player. lyrics-3d is a perspective stage. They are two of three shipped layouts, not a catalog of themes.
Phone-first LIVE scenes often leave only a strip beside the performer. A 3D stage in that strip collides with comments, gifts, and platform controls.
Side-by-side
Equal prices are not involved; choose by scene space and plan. Free flattens rotateY, so a Free 3D request is still not a rotating stage.
If the leftover zone is a lower third, player-single wins even on Trial or Pro. 3D needs a dedicated region.
| Field | player-single | lyrics-3d | Better when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Space | Minimal | Needs a stage region | Phone UI collision → single |
| Expression | Player card | Perspective | Trial/Pro stage → 3D |
| Free 3D | Unaffected | Flattened | Free + 3D request → still consider single |
When both constraints exist, pick single-line
Scarce space plus a Free plan is a double no for lyrics-3d. Flattened 3D still occupies more room than a single line.
Upgrade the plan and clear a stage region before switching. Do not promise rotation from a screenshot of the 3D control.
Test each orientation as its own source
A 1920×1080 lower third and a 1080×1920 phone scene rarely share the same layout choice.
Preview at viewer size. If comments cover the stage, the 3D experiment failed even if the plan can rotate.
Step-by-step setup
- 01Mark the leftover strip after camera and comments
If that strip is a lower third, start with player-single.
- 02Confirm whether Trial or Pro can show rotation
Free flattens 3D. Do not pick lyrics-3d to “preview” rotation on Free.
- 03Pick player-single when either space or plan blocks a stage
Pick lyrics-3d only when both a stage region and a non-Free plan exist.
- 04Preview on a phone-sized window before going live
If gifts or comments cover the block, switch back to player-single.
Frequently asked questions
Which is better?
Use single-line when space is scarce. Use 3D only when the scene and plan can show rotation.
Does Free 3D still beat a single line?
Usually no. Flattened 3D uses more space without delivering rotation.
Can I reuse one 3D source for landscape and vertical?
No. Use a dedicated Browser Source for each canvas.
