Properties​

The YouTube widget is unable to play certain types of videos, including those that:
  • Require login credentials, such as flagged videos that require age verification.
  • On Samsung devices, certain Kids videos may be unplayable.
  • Certain videos associated with Official Artist Channels and Kids Channels may also be unplayable.
  • Videos where the owner of the video has not allowed playback in embedded players. img.png

In the Source Menu, you can:

  • Enter the URL of the desired video in the Video ID field.
  • Loop your video with the Loop switch.
  • Set the Volume of your video with the Volume Slide.
  • Enable the Interactive switch to allow clicking the Play button on your YouTube Video. This is only required when previewing; the video will autoplay when sent to your media player.

  • For YouTube Shorts, you need to copy the ID from your video link after the /shorts/. Example: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/**[YOURID]**.
  • Video quality depends on the internet connection capabilities.
  • A stable internet connection is required.
