iFrame Panel: Embedding Videos – OSKAR

This will require Builder privileges for setup and implementation.

When you are Embedding a video source such as YouTube there are some different configurations that you will need to set. Depending on the security settings of the site the setting will differ. We will be using the IFRAME Panel to embed a YouTube video. First, we need to get the iFrame URL that YouTube provides. To get that link you need to find the Share link and choose Embed.

Single URL

Multiple URL

Single URL

Find the URL and pull it out should look like this: https://www.youtube.com/embed/h0hC91JjAow.

Now we can take that URL and put it into our IFrame Panel under the URL.

Next, we need to uncheck everything but except the following iFrame Sandbox Settings.

Allow Scripts
Allow SAME-ORIGIN

Click OK and your video should be embedded.

Single URL

Multiple URL

In some instances, you might have a library of videos that you would like to embed and allow your user to switch between. Create a chart that will hold your URL for the videos. For my instance, I am going to create a tabular chart with Name, Description, Time, Url.

Now create your dashboard and add your chart you created and you will now need to set up the dashboard parameter. On the top left side of the toolbar click Dashboard Parameters.

Click on the plus icon in the bottom left of the dialog box. You are going to enter the same test and format of the Url you had in your chart (this is case sensitive). Keep the label and name the same for simplicity entering in Url and Url into these two fields. In the Default Value field, you will need to enter the video you want to appear first on load.
