6.4.3 THE APP DESKTOP
The Application Desktop option (available for all Workspaces other than the primary Live Desktop) is a
special case, and clears the designated to provide screen real estate for supported desktop applications .
This special workspace lets you run selected applications inside TriCaster. A custom taskbar running
across the bottom of this screen bears icons you can use to launch (or minimize) the various applications
supported. The best part is that you can capture video from selected browsers, video conferencing
applications,
and their audio output and send it to TriCaster’s Switcher and Audio Mixer.
Supported applications you install will appear along the taskbar, as shown below.

Microsoft ® Edge Chromium is installed on your TriCaster; however, if you prefer a different browser,
Google Chrome or another Chromium™ based browser can be installed. A number of popular video
conferencing applications are also supported, such as Microsoft ® Teams, Facebook Messenger,
WhatsApp, FaceTime, Zoom, Discord, Slack, and many others.
Note: For much more about the Live Call Connect features supported in the App Desktop workspace, see

6.4.4 EXPRESS SWITCHER MODE
TriCaster's alternative Switcher interface provides new opportunities to customize both the interface and
workflow. The Switcher’s Express mode is very compact, freeing valuable Live Desktop space. Viewports
in the multiview area above are significantly larger than in the more familiar two row
(Program/Preview)
Switcher mode.
