The streaming widget is primarily for direct HLS feeds from an encoder. Displaying a stream that is hosted on a website is best done by using the Website Widget. You can find details on how to accomplish this here: For security reasons the HLS URL generated by the encoder needs to be HTTPS with a valid security certificate. Many encoders do not support this. We recommend products from this page:
- From your Dashboard go to [Content] -> [Presentations]
- Click [Widgets] near the top left and click [Streaming] from the drop-down
- Paste the HLS URL into the [URL] or [Text] field
- Configure the settings below how you would like best
- Enabling Controls will allow a user to pause, adjust volume, or skip around in the video/livestream if available
- Autoplay will play the video automatically upon the slide becoming active
- Loop being enabled will loop the video/livestream if applicable
- Mute will prevent the video/livestream from having sound unless unmuted by a user
- The volume slider will set the default volume for the video/livestream
- Click [OK] and you should now have a video player that you can resize or adjust the style
