Using a video gadget
Video gadgets contain a URL address of a video file or HTML code to embed video content. The Edit Video Gadget—Video Settings appear when adding this gadget to a dashboard or editing it, as shown in
Figure 3‑22.
Figure 3‑22 Adding a URL to a video gadget
The video gadget supports URL addresses, such as http://www.youtube.com or https://www.youtube.com. The content of the external web site displays in the video gadget.
You can also add HTML code and JavaScript code directly to the video gadget. Some video web sites support an embedded video player with user customizations by offering HTML code to embed into other web sites. The video gadget can use this HTML code to display the video content.
Dashboard developers can customize how the gadget appears on the dashboard using the Edit Video Gadget—General options. For more information about general options, see
Setting general gadget options, earlier in this section.
