Use YouTube with a Board

Whether it’s a video or live stream, most content hosted on YouTube is embeddable:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/[video-id]

The [video-id] can be found in the YouTube URL In the example below, the video-id is QncFe02SLZo so that the embedded video link becomes:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/QncFe02SLZo

A board with such a link will show a play button that the user can tap to watch a video.

You can modify the URL to autoplay without sound as follows:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/QncFe02SLZo?autoplay=1&mute=1

⚠️

Because of browser security, most videos with sound will not play automatically until the user interacts with at least one YouTube video in LexGo, which is why we recommend adding &mute=1 to the URL.

To loop a single video, add &version=3&playlist=[video-id]&loop=1 to the URL, e.g.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/QncFe02SLZo?autoplay=1&mute=1&version=3playlist=QncFe02SLZo&loop=1

This is useful for a welcome video in your lobby if you wish to replay it.
