The lesson
Lower thirds name speakers with their role; keep them short and on screen long enough to read twice.
Use simple fonts, strong contrast (with a background bar if needed) and sizes readable on a phone.
Keep text inside safe areas so it is not cut off or covered by platform buttons.
Step by step
- Design a lower-third template.
- Add one for each speaker.
- Check readability on a phone.
- Check safe areas.
