Add a live web browser to your canvas to guide viewers through web pages, present traffic results, designs, sources, or any other information you need to pull from the vast, online world.
Browser basics
- To activate the web browser, select it once with the Hand Tool and select Browse. Select anything outside the browser to deactivate it.
- While it's not active, you can move the browser around, scale, and rotate it with the Hand Tool.
- You can scroll around the page, keeping annotations on it. They stick to the current web page, not the browser itself.
Note Browsers in the project have limited recording capabilities (e.g. they will not record a YouTube video within a web page). On iOS, you can use the Quicksnap button on the browser to manually capture the moment you want to be shown during playback.
