Is there any way I can tell whether I am using Genymotion or the AVD that comes in the bundle download?

I downloaded genymotion plug in, and in studio I have the icon under my tool bar, but when I click on it I get a message that says " Genymotion warning You must specify the path to the Genymotion folder to use this feature", making me unsure what I am using.

Post a screenshot and we can tell from there. I seem to remember setting up the Genymotion emulator for the first time was a prize ball-ache (probably user error!) but I've not looked back since.

When you run your app Android Studio should ask you which emulator to use; select GM from there.

User error more than likely. What I am still confused about is how I got back to the emulator. It was just there, with all my stuff saved the way it I input it...
