Safe Zone

The safe zone is the area of the video frame guaranteed not to be obscured by platform UI elements (usernames, like buttons, comments, share icons). Each platform has different safe zone margins. Content — especially captions and key visuals — must stay within the safe zone to be fully visible to viewers.
