Create an embedded YouTube URL:
- Navigate to the YouTube video or stream that you would like to display
- Click the 'Share' button below the video panel, then the 'Embed' tab
- Click the 'Copy' button
- Open a text editor and paste the text
- Some text such as the following will appear:
- Edit this text so that only the src URL between the double-quotes remains. For example, the text above would become the following URL:
- Add the text ?autoplay=1 to the end e.g.
The resulting text is the URL that you should use within the Web View layer. The '?autoplay=1' part ensures that the video will play automatically without requiring user input to click a 'play' button.
If you would like subtitles (where available), add '&cc_load_policy=1' to the end of the URL e.g.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/y60wDzZt8yg?autoplay=1&cc_load_policy=1
To complete the job:
- Open your sign in SignStix Creator
- Add a Web View layer using the Web View Tool in the panel on the left (a globe icon)
- Set the URL of the Web View to be the URL you constructed above
- In the Tool Options for the Web View, ensure that the 'interactive' box is ticked
- Also set the 'User Agent' to be 'Desktop'
- Publish and Deploy the sign
