__TOC__
 
== What is an alternate Viewer? ==
The primary viewer for Second Life is [[Viewer 2|SL Viewer]], available on the main [http://secondlife.com/support/downloads/ Second Life Downloads] page.  That page also links to the latest Viewer 2 Beta, the version next in line to become the next released Viewer.
 
The viewers below provide alternate means of accessing Second Life. 
 
{{KBnote|If you experience problems using any of the viewers below, you may be asked to try to replicate the problem using the officially supported SL Viewer release.}}
