Once you have enabled debug mode you'll notice that in the meeting information pane, a new button has appeared which is labeled Telemetry.
Clicking on the Telemetry button will bring up the telemetry report pane. If the telemetry button doesn't show up or if clicking it does not show the report it is likely that the version of PowerBrowser you are using isn't supported or isn't configured properly - contact Sliq support and they'll advise you on what is happening.
The Telemetry Report pane can be moved around to a certain extent but exists solely inside the viewport of the PowerBrowser page so you can't place it on a secondary screen. Depending on the version of PowerBrowser you may see one of the two following UIs:
or
The following controls are available in the telemetry pane:
Control | Function |
 | Close: Clicking this control will close the Telemetry pane. |
 | Export statistics: Clicking this control will prompt to/download a CSV file containing all of the data points used in generating the graphs. |
 | Reset statistics: Clicking this control will clear the past data, resetting the graphs. It is useful to reset the statistics a few seconds after clicking the play button in order to exclude any cached segments after a page reload or the burst related to starting a new stream. |
 | Flag: This control is part of a new system and will be documented in the future. |
