# Managing Web Captures in Skykit Beam

## **Managing Web Captures**

Need some help with the Content Item Manager? Learn more: [Content Item Manager Tour](/v1/docs/content-item-manager-tour).

Once you've created a web capture and added it to your content list, you can manage it in Beam by editing the settings.

1. From the **Content** menu, select the web capture you want to manage. The **Web Capture** content manager window opens.

2. Beam automatically adds a default title for your web capture. 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 capture **Settings** drawer. This is where you will manage your web capture's settings.

4. In the **Duration** field, select how long you want the web capture to be displayed. The duration defaults to 10 seconds.
5. From the **Transition** list, select how you want the web capture to transition to the next slide. When you select an option, you'll see a preview of the effect in the **Web Capture** content manager window.
6. If you want to update the web capture's URL or change the refresh interval or orientation, update the relevant fields in the **URL** section.
7. Select the **←****Back** arrow to save your changes and return to the **Web Capture** content manager window.
8. If your changes included an updated web address, make sure you select the camera icon to update and sync your changes.
