Video

Open the YouTube Browser

Import from YouTube in the Soundboard tab header opens the YouTube Browser.

Add a video

Paste a YouTube link or video ID into the top field and click Add. Adding by link needs no API key.

Searching YouTube from inside Foundry needs a YouTube Data API v3 key in the YouTube API Key setting. With a key, a Search YouTube field appears under the link field.

Each row in the list has three buttons:

• Preview plays the video for everyone.
• Add as mood creates a mood named after the video. Applying the mood plays the video, and stopping the mood stops it.
• Add as pad creates a soundboard pad that plays the video.

The Video window

When a video starts, the Video window opens for every connected user. Players see the video without YouTube’s player controls. You get YouTube’s controls and a bar with a link field, a Load button that plays a pasted link for everyone, a stop button, and an Open in its own window button.

A player who joins or reloads while a video is playing sees it only after the video’s state next changes. Pause and resume the video to bring them in.

Playback sync

Pause and resume with YouTube’s controls in your Video window. Each player’s video follows, and any player who has drifted jumps back to your position. Video volume follows each user’s Music volume. In a mood, the entry’s volume fader also scales it.

Stop a video

The console transport and the GM’s Now Playing bar show a stop button while the video is on screen. Stopping from the Video window, the transport, or the Now Playing bar ends the video and closes the Video window for everyone.
