How to add a webplayer (temporary screen) ?

If you do not have a screen readily available to try out, you may use the 'Webplayer' option in the screen module. The Webplayer allows you to try out how the composition works on a screen. This is just an option to get an idea of how the software is working. It may have some differences from actual devices based on the software used.
