Sharing your project
Getting started with Arcware Cloud
You are almost ready to share your creations with the world, the next steps will explain you the options.
Creating a Share ID
Navigate to the Share ID page and click on Create New Share ID to create one.
Share ID settings.
Name: Add an appropriate name for this individual Share ID (only you will see the name, in the 'Active Share ID' list)
Start/Expire time: Specify a time frame for when your Share ID is active/accessible.
Maximum Usages: Specify the maximum amount of times this Share ID can be used (i.e. how many times your stream can be accessed via this Share ID link)
Selected Projects: Here you can specify which project the Share ID is linked to. (you can specify multiple projects under the same Share ID, each project is then accessible individually via an extended version of the Share ID, which directs the user to the specific project.
Overwrite afk-module: Allows you to apply different AFK/Timeout settings, relevant for this Share ID only. (Overrides the default/custom AFK values you used in your project's settings)
White Labeling: Allows you to change the stream loading Logo, background etc. More details on how to use it here: White Labeling
Create: Create Share ID with provided settings and add it to 'Active Share ID Link' list.
If you have created a Share ID, it will appear below in your Active Share ID Link list. Here you have an overview of your active/inactive Share ID's, and you can manage them anytime from within this list.
Share ID List sorting and filtering
Here we have two options for sorting\filtering, designed to help you find and edit the share id´s you need
Share Link Dashboard Views
You can toggle between these views using the selector at the top left of the Share Links dashboard.
1. Card View
The Detailed Overview
The Card view is the most comprehensive layout. It displays all configuration metrics and statuses for each share link upfront, without requiring any additional clicks.
Key Features: Displays the full Share ID, the associated project name, and quick-action buttons (Copy Share Link, Edit, Delete).
Expanded Metrics: A dedicated "Additional info" section provides immediate visibility into your usage limits (Used / Max), AFK/White label status, creation date, and exact scheduling parameters (Start date/time, End date/time, Remaining time).
Best Used For: Auditing specific share links or when you need to monitor the exact scheduling and capacity limits of a few active streams simultaneously.
2. Card View Compact
The Balanced Grid
The Card view compact layout condenses the information into a smaller grid, allowing you to see more share links on a single screen while maintaining a card-based structure.
Key Features: Prioritizes the most used controls. You can quickly toggle the active status, copy the link, duplicate, edit, or delete the share.
Streamlined Information: Identifies the share name and associated project. Quick indicators (✓ or ✕) show the AFK and White Label (WL) status.
Collapsible Details: Advanced metrics are hidden by default to save space but can be quickly accessed by clicking the "Details ˅" dropdown on any card.
Best Used For: Everyday management of a moderate number of share links where quick actions are prioritized over deep metric monitoring.
3. List View
The High-Density Roster
The List view transforms your share links into a highly condensed, horizontal row format.
Key Features: Aligns all critical data and actions into a single horizontal line per share link.
Immediate Actions: Features the active toggle, share name, project name, "Copy link" button, and status indicators (AFK, WL) reading left to right. All management icons (duplicate, edit, delete) are grouped neatly on the far right.
Collapsible Details: Just like the compact card view, in-depth metrics can be expanded via the "Details ˅" dropdown.
Best Used For: Power users managing a large volume of links. This view is ideal for rapid scanning, sorting, and finding specific projects quickly.
Managing Share ID´s
Share ID options
Set as Inactive: This will deactivate the Share ID, subsequently blocking access to your stream via this link and adding the Share ID to the 'Inactive' list. (Inactive Share ID's are not deleted and can always be re-enabled later)
Edit/Delete: Allows you to Edit the settings currently used for this Share ID link, or permanently Delete the Share ID.
Copy Share Link: In order to share your project with people, you will need to copy the link and then distribute it however you see fit.
Share ID details: Here is where the details of your share ID are described.
Embed your project
The more advanced way to display your project, is to use our WebSDK to integrate the stream in your own webpage.
You could simply embed the stream in your web page for a fast preview, or enhance your stream experience by building custom HTML Web Elements to interact with the Unreal application. Interaction between your front-end and Unreal Engine stream happens by sending/receiving Json messages via the WebSDK player.
Setting up Json messages from the Unreal Engine is the key...
Watermark and Arcware logo on Share links
On Trial Tenants you will have a sami transparent Arcware Cloud watermark as shown below.
On Lite Plans the watermark will be removed and you will only have the small Arcware Logo on the bottom left corner of the stream.
On Core Plan you will have the option to remove the Arcware Logo if needed and go white label. Additinally, by going WebSDK custom frontend, you can customize everything even as a Lite plan or Trial.
Now that you know how Arcware Cloud works, its time to discover more about the subscription plans and options.
