Thanks for a great video, it's excellent that machine simulation is being improved in Fusion 360. I've been using this feature for the last couple of months and it has helped a lot. We have now 3 different 5 axis machines simultated up for mainly 3+2 work. We are UK based and would love to help with your outsider testing process, as we have found quite a few problems along the way. But again it's great Fusion 360 is going in this direction.

at 28:13 you open a tab with your Haas VF3. and you say:
"so first thing to bear in mind is that here i've got a uh just a hash machine a vf3 and i can go and i can take some of these components "
Wish you could have taken 15 seconds and described how you got that model open and from where.
I'm trying to find out how to take an existing machine model and edit it with my table I've already modeled, add fixtures as well as any generic 210mm rotary table. My machine is a Milltronics RH19 and my 4 th axis is a Tanshing vrnc210 so I'm pretty sure there isn't a model of it available.

When will Machine Builder be available to use with mill/turn machines?

Thank you for this video.I trying to set-up a Haas lathe machine same one that you show in the video. But the x axis moves along the Z axis. I tried to fix it with the move component in the machine builder, but if I rotate the triad to change the axis is moving also the part. Please can you help me

Turning machine simulation?

I’m pretty sure the reason you autodesk guys have so many problems streaming is because you’re video encoding is not being done in the GPU. The stream/video chat problems are frequent for autodesk. If you enable NVENC in OBS, you likely won’t have problems.
If you’re not using OBS, your software probably won’t tell you whether it’s GPU or not (especially if it’s windows-native, since acronyms are scary). OBS is open source and tells you things about what the computer is doing. If you have AMD or integrated graphics, you need to use VAAPI, but you may be SOL. I’m not trying to sound like a prick, I’m just saying. There are no encoding artifacts in the stream though.
One other thing: do not use wireless to stream. It’s a recipe for problems.
