  4. In the Timeout field, select how long you want Beam to wait before displaying your fallback content. If Beam cannot display your web view within the designated timeout period—due to network or connectivity issues, for example—it will automatically begin displaying your fallback content. You can select your fallback content when you manage your web view.

    The Timeout field defaults to 30 seconds. The maximum timeout period is 2 minutes.
