When click on the camera to move it around, it would be great to be able to see what the contents of the camera view would be. Lots of other editors do this by showing a smaller camera overlay over the 3D viewport somewhere. ---

@Mal_Duffin While you can use the Simulator currently to see camera view changes reflected in real-time, we hear you that a more accessible/simpler camera preview would reduce friction in the creator flow. I can confirm we have plans to build this out in the Studio beta phase. Thank you for this suggestion! ---
