# Managing Web Views in Skykit Beam

## **Managing Web Views**

Once you've created a web view content item, you can manage the item by editing the settings in the web view **Settings** drawer.

Advanced SettingsBelow are the most commonly used Web View Settings. Learn more about advanced, less commonly used settings [here](https://support.skykit.com/docs/advanced-web-view-settings). **Need some help with the Content Item Manager? Learn more:** [**Content Item Manager Tour**](/v1/docs/content-item-manager-tour)**.**

1. In the **Content** menu, select the web view you want to manage. The **Web View** content manager window opens.

2. Beam automatically adds a default title for your web view (usually the URL). If you'd like to change it, enter a new title in the **Name** field.

3. Select the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner to open the web view **Settings** drawer. This is where you can make your changes.

4. In the **Duration** field, enter the length of time you want the web view to be displayed. The duration defaults to 10 seconds.
5. Next, from the **Transition** list, select the way you want the web view to transition to the next slide. When you select a transition, you'll see a preview of the effect in the **Web View** window.
6. Under **Timeout**, select how long you want Beam to wait before it displays your fallback content. If Beam cannot display your web view within the designated timeout period—if there are network or connectivity issues, for example—it will automatically begin displaying your fallback content. The field defaults to 30 seconds. The maximum timeout period is 2 minutes.
7. Under **Fallback Content**, select **Choose**. The **Select Content** window opens.

Fallback Content begins playing on your displays if Beam cannot reach your web view's web address.

1. Select the content item you want to use as your fallback content. Remember to choose a content item that does not require a network connection, such as Google Slides, in case of connectivity issues.

Web feeds, web capture, and web views are not available as fallback content because they require an internet connection. 

1. Select the **Back** arrow to save your changes and return to the **Web View** content manager window.
2. Select **Publish** to make your web view available to publish directly to your displays or to insert into a playlist or program.
