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.

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)
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.

Here we have two options for sorting\filtering, designed to help you find and edit the share id´s you need

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.

Note: It goes without saying that you should be cautious with whom and where you distribute your Share ID links, in order for you to keep control of your monthly streaming resources. Utilizing the 'Start/Expiration time' and 'Maximum Usages' can help you limit the maximum amount of resources used by this Share ID. Fear not, if you see that a Share ID link is being used unexpectedly and is causing unwanted streaming costs, you can always deactivate the link or edit the link with optimized settings.

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.

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.

Note: 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.
