In above example, when the speaker is talking we can see a scene with previously configured graphic in the left-bottom panel.  If you select the "Intro" in the middle platform it would activate the image of the song conductor indicated on the bottom-right panel.  When the Intro ends, the video of the song would expand into full-screen.

Some programs, including News-based programs emphasizing viewer interactivity, or special events, may also use tickers to display messages and reactions from viewers and others that relate to the program. Nowadays, these comments are often sourced from social networking services such as Facebook and X (typically curating comments from a specific page or hashtag).
