Overview

Highlighted: The location of the World Stream toolbar.

World Stream features a specialized toolbar designed to help users address common streaming issues. This toolbar is located at the top of the browser window, and can be collapsed or expanded by hovering your cursor over it and clicking the arrow that appears.

On this page, we'll review the available functions and how to use them.

Copying and pasting

AWS runs Breakroom on a remote machine with its own clipboard, so copying and pasting text is a slightly more complex process. The World Stream toolbar gives you the ability to copy and paste text between the Breakroom stream and your own computer.

To copy text from a World Stream session to your local computer, follow these steps.
