Start a personal streaming server

Sometimes you need to spin up a cloud streaming session quickly—for testing, internal reviews, or short-notice demos. The Start Personal Streaming Server feature gives individual users a fast way to stream their VR app, without setup delays or admin support.

It’s designed for agility: no scheduling, no configuration, just one click to start streaming a ready-to-use virtual machine with your content.

What it does

The Start Personal Streaming Server button (available in the Portal web frontend) starts a temporary cloud rendering instance with:

• A personal location
• Pre-installed VR apps the user has access to
• A 6-hour session limit
• Instant launch (no scheduling)

How to start

1. Open the Innoactive Portal Web Frontend
2. Click on Streaming on top right corner
3. Click Create streaming server

4. Personalize location and performance tier if needed

5. Search for your application

6. Click Create streaming server
7. Wait for the session to initialize (1–2 minutes)

After the dot turns green, you can safely and quickly start a session on your personal streaming server!

Tips

• Upload and configure your apps before starting
• This setup is for short, spontaneous use only
