### Multiple lines

Until I figure out a better way of doing this, I've enabled a way to have a display name be on multiple-lines in VDO.Ninja.

`&label=DisplayNameHere\nSubtitleHere` Note the use of as a line break ie:

```
https://vdo.ninja/?label=Steve_Seguin\n(he/him)\nhttps://twitch.tv/vdoninja&push=JaAiVEH
https://vdo.ninja/?view=JaAiVEH&showlabels
```

So it's not super obvious how to do this currently, so I think the next goal will be to add the option to let a guest enter their own sub-title, etc, when joining, using dedicated input fields. But until then, I hope this still helps. You can stylize the sub-label within OBS's CSS section, targeting the following CSS, but please note I'll probably be tweaking the CSS/HTML as well in the future:

```
.video-label>span:nth-child(2) {
    font-size: 50%;
    display: block;
    text-align: center;
}
```
