# Preview stream

Creating & Managing your projects

Now is the time to preview our stream before sharing it with the world.

Preview your project

Congratulations. After uploading and releasing your package, you're now ready to stream. \
There is always the possibility to **preview** your stream on the **Preview** page. You will be able to see the stream preview, as long as you are logged in and authorized on the platform.<br>

## Preview&#x20;

Starting the preview will spin up an instance of the application and start streaming.\
By default Arcware Cloud provides a branded loading overlay, this can be of course rebranded using the WebSDK for custom frontend integration.

The preview will show you the stream with almost all availabe buttons\functions being enabled by default and **only for the Preview page**.

* Disconnect Stream
* Mic input On\Off toggle
* Audio Mute\Unmute toggle
* Info button
* Settings button
* Fullscreen button

{% hint style="info" %}
Showing or hiding the functions for the preview, can be overriden via the WebSDK settings page, which you will dicover later on your journey.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Measuring the latency &#x20;

By clicking the info button, we can run a latency test. \
Sometimes it is an important insight knowing that information and understanding the impact on the streaming quality.&#x20;

## In preview settings

&#x20;And the final topic on the Preview page we will cover is the settings function.\
Here you will have exposed all the settings and features to play around and test :)

{% hint style="info" %}
Keep in mind, these settings will be applied in your current preview session only.
{% endhint %}

Next, we are going to deep dive into the project settings !

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.arcware.cloud/arcware-cloud-platform/getting-started-with-arcware-cloud/creating-and-managing-your-projects/project-dashboard/preview-stream.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
