Add a video to your (Web)App

Would you like to make your (Web)App more lively and interactive? Then add a YouTube video to your page(s)! Videos can be used to explain something, create a certain atmosphere, or simply make your (Web)App more fun and engaging.

 

Find a YouTube video

Go to www.youtube.com and search for a video you want to use in your (Web)App.
 Do you have a video but no YouTube channel? In that case, we can also upload and place the video for you. A video in the (Web)App can be public or unlisted. With an unlisted video, the video is not publicly visible on YouTube and cannot be found without the direct URL.

 

Once you have found a video, copy the video link from the address bar of your browser.
 Go to the “YouTube video URL” input field in your (Web)App and paste the copied link there. The video will immediately appear in the phone preview of the (Web)App.

  • Allow fullscreen – Enables viewing the video in full-screen mode.
