    There's a formal KB article for this now.  See https://brightsign.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005309713-How-do-I-display-a-YouTube-video-or-playlist-on-my-player-

    Yes.

    You would use the html widget to stream youtube.

    We don't play vp9 codec, so those videos don't work. Not all mse extensions work so it's possible you have have problems with some live streams.

    Under the other tab, you'll find the html widget if you've created a project for any player that supports html. Just drag it to the playlist window, and add your url and a name.

    It's just doing what you tell it to, so if you're pointing it to the page, it'll display the page.

    Also, don't trust the BrightAuthor preview - always check on the actual player as the BrightAuthor preview isn't a 100% accurate display of what the player will display



    Use the URL from EMBED video link's SRC attribute, without the double-quotes, of course, *and* add ?autoplay=1 to the end.
     
    If there's already a ? in the URL, add &autoplay=1 at the end instead.
     
    For the attached example, the URL would be
     
    Note that the HTML state will not stop or be notified when the video ends, so to play a video then move on, you should add a Timeout event (interactive playlist) or set the Time on screen value (non-interactive playlist) to allow playback to move on after the end.
