The `Map` graphic is H2R Graphics is perfect for seeing where your live stream audience is watching from.
In combination with the `Social` graphic, the `Map` graphic displays a location pin based on a location mentioned in a live stream comment.
The Map graphic can be added just like any other graphic.
Additionally, add a `Social` graphic to your rundown which will be used for showing messages and extracting pin information.

Your API key
If everything went well, you will get a modal pop up with your API key for use in H2R Graphics. Copy/paste it into the software settings.
Click on any Social graphic that includes a location and bring it on air.
If the app is able to, it will extract the location information within the text of the comment and add a pin to the Map graphic.
This works well for phrases like...
Hello from Paris, France.
John here, watching from the USA.
Hello from Melbourne, Australia!
