# Adding an IFX to play shared media

To play a video through the shared media system, complete the following steps:

1. From the left-hand side of the editor panel, select **IFX**.
2. In the search field, enter `play shared`, and then select the search icon.
3. From the filtered list of IFX, select **Play Shared Screen Video**.
4. Place the IFX in the environment. The position of the IFX isn’t important because it affects all shared media screens in the location.
