Hello all,  
I've a flow where I present a video stream and a picture into node template. I'm wondering if is any way to fill the frame with a text message like " No video available" when the template is empty as I show in the enclosed picture.  
Thanks

in the ui template node this usually can be done by the angular if directive:

If you had an example flow any help could be more concrete
