# Send Texture

**Send Texture** is one of the a layer template that you can use to send a texture through one of texture sender devices in the Devices window. One possible use is to stream a texture through NDI.

## Variables

* **Device**: select the device you'd would like to stream the texture through. An example is NDI or Spout.
* **Texture:** the texture you want to stream.

## Setting up

This layer template relies on [Layer Connections](/layers-and-layouts/layer-connections.md). This means that the *Texture* variable needs to be the destination of another *Source* layer.
