Some objects in Second Life can display web-based media content, much like a common web browser.  If you are already comfortable browsing the web, Shared Media controls should be easy to learn.
 
===Trying out Shared Media navigation===
# Find a media-enabled object.  These objects are easily identified by the media controls that appear when your moves moves over them.  If you are unable to find a suitable media-enabled object, you can [[Adding Shared Media to an object|create one of your own]].
# Click the media once to give it focus.  You must click the media itself, and not another part of the same object.
# Notice the navigation controls that appear:
#* [[File:Shared Media Web Controls.png]]
#* '''Back and forward buttons:''' Cycle through previously visited pages.
#* '''Home button:''' Returns the media to this object's home URL.
#* '''Refresh/stop button:''' Reloads the current page or stops the loading of a page that is in progress.
#* '''Address bar:''' Navigate to any URL by typing it into this bar.
#* '''Magnifying glass/right arrow button:''' The magnifying glass automatically positions your camera in front of the media, then changes to the right arrow button, which returns your camera view to your avatar.
#* '''Window button:''' Opens the current URL in an external web browser.
# Try visiting several of your favorite websites to get a feel for how web content is presented in Second Life.  Any web pages you view are fully interactive, meaning you can click any links and type into any text fields you see!
 
 
{{KBnote|The creator of a Shared Media object can disable navigation controls and keyboard and mouse interactivity on it.  If you are unable to find an object that has all the controls and features listed above, you can easily [[Adding Shared Media to an object|create your own fully permissive Shared Media object]].}}
