Value¶
The video link, in the format https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<id>. Short links (youtu.be/<id>) and
Shorts links (youtube.com/shorts/<id>) are not supported.
Other YouTube player parameters can be added to
the link and are passed to the player, e.g. &start=60&end=65 plays only that part of the video.
Parameters¶
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| allow_fullscreen | true | Show the player's fullscreen button |
| orientation | landscape | Shape of the player. landscape is 16:9. portrait is 9:16, for vertical videos: the player is centred and takes up at most about 70% of the screen height |
The orientation parameter only changes the shape of the player. It is not the same as the orientation
parameter on a template's row in the contents sheet, which locks the screen orientation.
