Site Overview is where your community site’s identity lives: what it is called, how it describes itself, and the images and banners it presents.

Where to configure this

Go to Site > Overview. Studio combines site identity and home-page settings on one page, and every field saves automatically.

Did you know you can change these with our MCP server too? Try asking your agent: “Change our site description and turn on the members page.”

Site Identity

  • Site Name - The name of your site. It is used as the title in your community site header and in SEO metadata.
  • Site Description - The description shown on your Home page and used when pages are shared.

Page Banners

Set the banner image shown at the top of each of your site’s main pages: the Home page, Members page, Groups page, Content library, and Events page. For the best results, use an image with dimensions of 2560 x 640 px (4:1). Other ratios are cropped from the center to fill the 4:1 frame.
Page banners are images at the top of individual pages. They are not the same as the site-wide announcement banner, which is a bar of text shown on every page.

Enabled Components

Enable or disable the components displayed on the Home page. See Home page for the full list.

Video Embeds

The Autoload Video Embeds setting controls whether third-party video players (such as YouTube and Vimeo) load automatically when a visitor opens a page. By default, videos autoload for all sites. Enterprise customers can disable autoloading under Site > Overview > Video Embeds. When disabled, embedded videos display a placeholder with a link to the video instead of loading the player. This is useful for communities that use a Consent Management Platform (CMP), where third-party iframes must wait for visitor consent before loading.

Site Images

You can also configure the following images associated with your community site:
  • Site Horizontal Logo
  • Site Icon
  • Favicon
  • Social Media Image
For specs and recommendations, see the Branding Guide.

Settings that moved

Several settings that used to live in the Site Settings modal now have their own pages in Studio:

Creating the Community Site

If your community doesn’t have a site yet, go to Site > Advanced and click Create community site. Branding and the rest of the settings can be customized afterwards. In Slack, use + Create Community Site in the Community Site module to launch the guided setup flow.

Deactivating the Community Site

Deactivating takes your site offline. Visitors can no longer see your content and receive a 404 Not Found response.
Go to Site > Advanced and use the Site Status controls to deactivate or reactivate your site.

Deactivating does not delete your content. Everything is restored when you reactivate.
