Avatar dock
Each slide can place the agent's avatar in one of three positions, with optional per-slide overrides for shape and visibility.
Three modes
Deck-wide vs per-slide
You can set a deck-wide default in the deck settings, then override on individual slides:
Set deck default
In the deck settings, choose
agentPosition=left/right/pip. This applies to every slide unless overridden.Override per slide
On any slide's avatar settings panel, pick a different
dock. The per-slide setting wins.
Mobile behavior
On viewports under ~768px, the avatar always renders as PIP regardless of the configured dock — there's not enough room for a side dock to read well. Your dock choice still applies on desktop.
The 5-slide live-layer tour at /a/live-layer-tour demonstrates each mode. Slide 2 uses side-right, slide 3 uses inside (PIP top-right circle), slides 1/4/5 use side-left.
