### What you can do with Summary

Use this page to:

-   Monitor video quality golden metrics including rebuffering ratio, bitrate, start time, and failures for a specific application
-   Track video engagement metrics including attempts, plays, completions, and failures
-   Identify videos with high start time, incomplete plays, or playback issues within the application
-   Analyze video performance by platform, OS version, video player name, ISP, region, and resolution
-   Expand metrics to view in-depth details and trend analysis
-   Add widgets to dashboards for ongoing performance monitoring
-   Create alert conditions to proactively monitor streaming performance for the application
-   Generate predictions and compare performance trends using NRQL queries
-   Export metrics as images for reporting
-   Create new streaming entities directly from this page
