[00:00] In this lesson, we'll learn where we can launch prospective sessions. To start, we'll take a look at the gateway webpage, and something to consider here is you don't necessarily need to be logged in to launch a session. From the home tab, you would navigate to this perspective section and then click on the launch page. Here we can view all of the projects that have perspective elements in them, and we can see I have two projects here, and in order to launch one, all we need to do is click on the launch button below it. You'll notice my perspective session launched as a new tab within my web browser, and I can simply switch back and forth between the two tabs to see my gateway or the project I've just launched. I also didn't have to log into the project by default. Perspective sessions don't require that you log in to view the contents of the project. However, you can customize security and require login if it's needed. Since this perspective session is just another page in my web browser, you'll notice that it has its own URL.

[01:03] We can actually use this to launch a session without even having to go to the gateway webpage. I'm going to go ahead and enter in my other project's name here in this case Test, and you'll notice this time my test project will launch. This eliminates the need to go to the gateway To launch a perspective session, you simply need to know the URL of the project you're trying to launch.
