The Layers tab in ICE Control Panel gives a single screen view of the current layers in the workspace and provides context-specific UI controls per layer. This tutorial guides you through using the Layer tab with some example sessions.
Using the Layer tab
For the first example, load the Video Example session using either the Desktop or Canvas UI.
Next run ICE Control Panel on your chosen device.
Note that the Layers tab has been designed to work well on monitors and tablets and is not currently optimised for smartphone screens. The following message will be shown for smartphone devices: The layers tab is coming soon for smaller devices.
Video Example
Explore the controls by starting and stopping the video, hiding and showing the video layer and muting and unmuting the volume.
You can also adjust the scale and position of the layer by clicking the properties button and then select Geometry. Use the sliders to move and resize the video layer.
Next press the Home icon in the top-right of the Layers tab. This will clear the Video layer from the workspace and display the homescreen.
WebView Example
Press the Add Content button in the Layers tab and select WebView from the choice of WebView, NDI and YouTube.
Streetview Example
Switch to the Mouse tab, press ‘Start casting’ and select the Streetview icon from the homescreen (if there isn't a Streetview icon, select Load Content from the Canvas Toolbar and load the Streetview session).
