Variabl Support Team

YouTube is a great source for promotional videos, product tutorials, or live news streams. Variabl lets you seamlessly embed YouTube videos directly into your slide rotation.

Step-by-Step Guide to Add a YouTube Video

1

Open your Playlist

Go to your Variabl Dashboard and click into the playlist you want to edit.

2

Open the App Selection Dialog

Click the + New button to bring up the Choose an App grid.

3

Choose YouTube

Select Youtube from the options.

4

Configure Video Options

  • YouTube URL: Paste the direct link of the YouTube video (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXX or the share link https://youtu.be/XXXXXX).
  • Mute Video: Toggle this option to Yes if your digital signage display is in a public space where sound is not desired.
5

Save and Display

Click Save. Variabl will automatically fetch the video title and duration, setting the slide duration to match the video run time so it plays fully before rotating!
