Controlling the playback of an experience

When you load an Experience, it begins to play automatically. Users with host permissions can pause, jump to a specific time, or cancel the Experience. How you control the playback of Experience depends on how the it was created.

On desktop and VR devices, when an Experience is loaded, a blue dot appears underneath the Experiences icon in the menu. If the Experience controls the playback of media, a blue dot also appears underneath the Shared Screen icon.
