Add a YouTube Widget

About this task

Use the YouTube widget to embed a YouTube video directly within your app.
Note: The Video Player widget is recommended in place of the YouTube widget for new apps. Future versions of SOTI Snap may not include the YouTube widget.

Procedure

  1. In the Canvas, open the Widgets tab.
  2. Double-click or drag and drop the YouTube widget onto the app canvas.
  3. In the YouTube Properties panel, enter a name for the widget in the Name field.
  4. Click New Video to open the Insert YouTube Video dialog box where you can enter the URL for a YouTube video. You can also search for a video directly from the dialog box using keywords or the video ID.
  5. Select the video and click Insert.
  6. Optional: Add a visibility rule to the widget.

    1. Select Visibility Rule to open the Set Visibility Rule dialog box.
    2. Select whether the visibility rule requires meeting all or any conditions.
    3. From the Field list, select an app field or variable and an operator. Enter the value required for the widget to be visible.
    4. Select Add Condition to add another condition.
    5. Select Save.
