Control message typing visibility
The typing visibility settings allow you to control whether messages being composed are shown in the video. This feature is accessible via the Video tab within the settings panel, letting you tailor the pacing and realism of your exported chat story.
Video Tab Access
To access the video export and display settings, you must first navigate to the Video tab located in the bottom navigation bar, next to Messages and Style. Once in the Video tab, look for the Show typing button (text cursor).
Typing Visibility Options
Once the Show typing menu is open, you are presented with four distinct options that govern when the typing indicator appears. These settings apply to the characters in your story, controlling the flow of the dialogue simulation.
- On: The messages being composed are always shown.
- Off: The messages being composed are never shown.
- Left only: The messages being composed are only shown when characters sending messages from the left side of the screen are typing.
- Right only: The messages being composed are only shown when characters sending messages from the right side of the screen are typing.
Tips for Using This Section
To achieve a highly realistic chat simulation, set this to Right only. For a faster, cleaner export that focuses purely on the finished text, choose Off.
