# Preview spots

Preview your spots to see how they will look during playback.

### Prerequisites

Consider the following prerequisites before you start a preview:

- The preview opens in a new browser window.
- Settings like time control, holiday lists, or categories are considered in the preview.
- Content quality may vary in preview to reduce response time. Players display content in its original format and native quality.
