Social media safe zones (vertical/horizontal preview overlays) | Telethon 2026

Social media safe zones (vertical/horizontal preview overlays)

in development

Gabe Michalski

Show social media safe zones on the canvas and in the export menu as overlays, so creators can avoid placing important visuals where platform UI (captions, profile pics, buttons) will cover them.

Built at Telethon — you'll be able to see safe zone overlays for different social media platforms directly in the canvas, so you can frame your content correctly before exporting. Demo: https://share.descript.com/view/Cb7M2yhZcBG

Note: pending QA and subject to change before release.

Gabe Michalski, unfortunately, I don't have this icon to enable and apply the safe zone. Where can I find or enable it, please?
