# Web Terminal

Use Web Terminal when you need browser-based shell access to a connected device for debugging, inspection, or maintenance without
switching to a separate SSH workflow.

## When to use it

Web Terminal is useful when you need to:

 * inspect a device remotely from the Hub UI
 * run diagnostic commands during troubleshooting
 * confirm device state without relying on local network access
 * investigate app or host issues after the device has already been adopted into Hub

## How it works

Web Terminal uses a WebRTC session between your browser and the device, coordinated by Luxonis Hub and the OAK Agent. That gives
you a remote shell session through Hub while keeping session authorization inside the Hub workflow.

## Open Web Terminal

 1. Open Devices in Luxonis Hub.
 2. Select the target device.
 3. Open the Web Terminal tab.
 4. Wait for the terminal session to connect.
