Instructions on how to play a video automatically during your lesson.

Updated over 7 months ago

If you add a video from YouTube or Vimeo in a LessonUp lesson, you can have it play automatically when displayed. This allows you to focus entirely your the class and not on the technology.

To enable automatic playback, simply check the 'Start automatically' box.

Additionally, you can specify the start and end times of the video. This allows you to show the perfect video segment, eliminating the need to search for the exact start time.

Specify the start and end times by using the 'Start' and 'End' buttons, and indicating the minutes and seconds when the video should start playing or stop to play.

It's worth noting that the 'Start automatically' option doesn't have to be checked to use the start/end time feature. You can also manually start the video at the preset start time.
