Enter a name and choose New.
Refresh detected sources.
Choose Detected source.
Set receive bandwidth and audio.
Review visibility policy, timeout, timing, and color options.

Check picture and sound from the selected sender.

Helpful information

Audio Only bandwidth disables the video preview. Frame size/FPS overrides are optional; leave them off for incoming size and timing. Preserve aspect ratio prevents stretch with size overrides. Latency trades immediacy for tolerance. Fix alpha blending is for translucent feeds with incorrect edges. Discovery timeout controls the wait before an error.

If something is wrong

If unavailable, check sender availability, network access, and discovery settings.
