5. You can attach the secondary stream to a different primary stream by opening the drop down menu. For a visual aid to editing your secondary stream content, you can reference the blue outline markers on the video timeline at the bottom of the Designer. These markers are directly correlated to the timing in your clips of content. The primary video stream will be shown in white, and the secondary video stream will be shown with a blue outline.
6. To preview your dual stream content, click the Review tab and then click Preview. A preview of your bulb will open in a new tab, showing you your dual stream content. If you set your content to appear in the sidebar, then the secondary stream will display in the sidebar. Otherwise, your secondary stream will appear as a video overlay over the primary stream.
   Note: Audio will only play for the primary stream in your bulb, and captions will only display if fetched or uploaded to the primary stream.
