You control the playback of shared videos through use of the Play Shared Screen Video IFX. The position and length of the container on the timeline determines when the video will begin to play and how long it will play for.
If the timeline view isn't active in the editor panel, select the timeline icon ().
From the panel on the left-hand side, select IFX.
On the IFX library page, in the search field, enter shared, and then select the search icon.
Select the Play Shared Screen Video IFX.
Place the IFX in the environment. The location of the IFX within the environment isn't important.
For instructions on how to access effect options, see Effect options. For the the Play Shared Screen Video IFX, the effect options include the video source and playback settings.
Video URL
The URL of the video to play. We recommend that you place videos on a server that you control. You can use a YouTube URL, but access is not guaranteed. For example, if the owner removes the video, or there is a change to the YouTube API that requires an update to the ENGAGE application, your sequence will break.
2D Video / 3D Video
Select whether the video is 2D or 3D.
Loop
Select this check box to loop the video.
Playback Start
The number of seconds to skip from the start of the video. Note: If you set the video to loop, each loop after the first play through starts at the beginning of the video.
Volume
The volume of the video's audio, as a percentage between 0 (mute) and 100 (maximum).
