Your Projects

Your Projects is the first page of the Control Panel. A project is the link you share: it runs one of your uploaded builds, with its own name, picture, details and viewer settings. The project and the build each have their own name, so you can change the build behind a project without uploading anything new.

1. Projects and builds

What a project is, and what it is not
buildproject
what it isyour packaged app, uploaded as a zipa link to share, running one build
its namethe name you upload it underthe name you give the project
its settingsnonepicture, details, Active / Inactive, viewer settings
how manyone per appas many as you like, each running any of your builds

A project's link looks like this: https://connector.eagle3dstreaming.com/v5/your-username/build/project. Because the build and project names are part of it, renaming the project or choosing another build gives the project a new link (see section 4).

Your apps and their links from before Projects are still under Streaming Apps (Legacy) in the menu, and keep working as they did.

2. Create a project

New project: a name, an optional picture, then a build
  1. On Your Projects, press New project.
  2. Project name (required): letters, numbers and underscores only. It must not be the name of another project or configuration you already have.
  3. Picture (optional): PNG, JPG or WEBP, at most 5 MB. Without one, the project shows its build's picture.
  4. Details (optional): what the project is for, up to 300 characters.
  5. Then choose the build, one of two ways:
    • Choose an uploaded build, then Create project; or
    • Upload a new build: the upload window opens. When the upload and its test launch finish, the project is created with that build. The build needs a name you have not used before.

If you chose a picture, it is uploaded first, with a progress bar in the window, and the project is created as soon as the picture is stored. If the picture cannot be uploaded (for example the connection drops), the project is not created yet and the window tells you why. You can then Choose another picture or Create without picture.

New project name, picture, details A build choose an uploaded one, or upload a new one (+ test launch) Picture chosen? no Project created its settings page opens yes Picture uploaded first progress bar in the window stored failed Window stays open - project not created yet Choose another picture (retry) or Create without picture retry without picture
A project exists only once its picture (if any) is stored - a failed picture never leaves a half-made project.

A new project starts Active, with the standard viewer settings, and its settings page opens so you can adjust them.

3. The project list

Find, share, switch on and off, delete

Each row shows the picture, the Active tick, the project name, its build, when it was created and its details, with these buttons:

buttonwhat it does
Copy linkcopies the project's link, ready to share
Openopens the link in a new tab, to try it yourself
Editopens the project's settings page (section 4)
bin icondeletes the project, after asking: its settings are deleted and its link stops working. Its build stays uploaded.

Search finds projects by name, build or details. Sort by: Name (A-Z), Newest first, Oldest first or Active first.

Active and Inactive

Tick or untick Active on a row. You are asked to confirm, and the change is saved at once — there is no Save button for it.

Inactivethe page "Url Expired"; nothing streams. Make it Active again and the same link works again.
Off because its build was deleted"Url Expired". Choose another build on the project's settings page to turn it back on.

Several projects at once

Tick the box at the left of the rows you want, or Select all. Then Make active or Make inactive: the confirmation lists exactly the projects that will change. Clear removes the ticks.

4. A project's settings page

Edit: name, build, picture, details, status, viewer settings

Press Edit on a project. Everything on this page is saved with Save at the bottom, except the Active switch, which asks you to confirm and is saved at once (as on the list).

what you changewhat happens
Name (Rename)saved at once. The link changes — share the new one; the old link stops working.
Buildchoose another of your builds, or upload a new one into this project. Saved with Save. The link changes, because the build's name is part of it.
Picture, Detailssaved with Save; the link stays the same.
Active / Inactiveasks first, saved at once; the link stays the same.
Viewer experiencethe viewer settings for this project's link (link expiry, password, session time and the rest), the same settings as an app configuration. Saved with Save.

Copy settings copies the viewer settings of another of your projects into this one. Check them, then press Save. The project's name, build, picture, details and link are not copied.

If you leave the page with unsaved changes, you are asked whether to leave without saving.

5. Not in Projects yet

Meeting links

Meeting links (one session that several people join together) are not available for projects yet. For now, create a meeting link from the app under Streaming Apps (Legacy). Need it in Projects sooner? Contact support (Email / Discord).
