# Using Informational Text Widget You can use the informational effect through the **Text** widget in the My Studio menu, which is accessed by swiping left on the main screen.

You can access informational effect through the **Text** button in the My Studio menu.

A total of 50 effects are provided in 6 categories as follows, which include splendid animation effects and allow users to set their own messages. * 10 title effect * 5 screen saver effects * 5 clock and timer effects (a countdown widget, and a timer widget containing 4 functional effects) * 19 social effects * 5 caption effects * 6 sticker effects Most of the effects are animated and can be customized using a designated editor to adjust settings such as size, font, text outline, color, and alignment. You can also choose whether the text remains on the screen or disappears after the animation is performed. As you can see, there are multiple language options, including Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese, available in various fonts.

*** ## Informational effects In the **TITLE** category, you can use plain text, transitioning text, or marquee banner. The marquee banner's text flows from right to left. And you can place it anywhere you want on the live stream screen. In the **SCREEN SAVER** category, each effect displays graphics on the screen along with the text you set. They can be used for various purposes throughout your live stream and have dynamic animations that will catch the attention of viewers.

In the **CLOCK & TIMER** category, It consists of a countdown effect that can set the count, and a timer effect that can be set to clock or timer. The clock effect provides more detailed features, which we will explain in detail later in this page. In the **SOCIAL** category, each effects can effectively display streamer SNS information to viewers.

In the **CAPTION** category, there are animation text effects that many streamers have been using. In the **STICKER** category, streamers can edit and overlay the stickers on their live stream to suit their needs.

When you finish setting each effect, they are registered in the My Studio menu like normal live sources, so you can use them on the live stream screen whenever you need. Then, adjust and place the effects in an appropriate position and size on your live stream screen, as shown in the picture on the right below.

*** ### Marquee effect We often see streamers displaying a persistent message to their viewers with marquee banners at the top or bottom of their live stream screens. Usually, this effect is possible by using a third party web overlay, but we added that feature so that users can use the same functionality within the PRISM app without using a third party service.

*** ### Screensaver effects These are screen saver effects that cover the entire screen. All of the effects have very beautiful animations, so we strongly recommend that you try them out in our app. These screensaver effects can be useful when you leave your seat during a live stream or change the flow of a live stream. Besides, you can edit the text inside the effect as you like.

*** ### Timer Effect The timer effect contains the following 4 functional effects. * *Timer* * *Stopwatch* * *Current time* * *Elapsed time* You can set hours, minutes and seconds in the timer effect. And you can display hours, minutes, seconds and optionally even milliseconds on the stopwatch.

We also offer you a Current time effect that displays the current time and a Elapsed time effect that displays airtime.
