The above presentation area makes use of an inline frame, which enables web composers to switch different pages containing different media into this one location within a web page. When visible, click the "Play" triangle below the 3D clip to start or if it is a virtual reality file, click and drag within the image. Autostart is sometimes set to False. Be patient while the 3D animation loads. Note that the larger the file size noted in the right column, the longer the load time needed by the media.
These next presentations include audio. Before clicking them, click off any other audio elements that are playing unless you find the harmony or disharmony interesting. Also, multiple active media elements can strain a computer's capacity to keep up.
