      How to Add and Save YouTube Videos on ThinkHub Without Ads

      By embedding the video using a modified URL, you can ensure that the video will play without ads when you reopen the canvas. You can also turn on autoplay. Here's how:

      Why Embed YouTube Videos in ThinkHub?

      Using the embed link to display YouTube videos ensures a clean, uninterrupted playback experience for your meetings, lessons, or presentations. It also loads the video at full-screen inside the Browser Window.

      Here's how you can embed your YouTube videos in your ThinkHub Canvas: 

      1. Find the YouTube Video

        • Open the YouTube video you want to add to ThinkHub in your browser.
        • Copy the video URL from the address bar (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=example).

      2. Modify the URL for Embedding

        • To remove ads, replace the part of the URL after youtube.com/ with embed/  followed by the video ID.
          • Example: If your original URL is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=example, the new URL will be:
            https://www.youtube.com/embed/example

      3. Add the Video to ThinkHub:

        • Using the T1V app, send the embed URL to ThinkHub.
          • If you don't have the T1V app, you can open a browser on your ThinkHub Canvas and type the modified embed URL into the ThinkHub browser address bar.
      4. Save the Canvas
      • Once the video is loaded and positioned where you want it on the Canvas, save the Canvas.
      • The next time you open this canvas, the embedded YouTube video will play without ads.

      Optional Step 2: Set the Video to Autoplay

      If you want your video to start playing automatically, you can add a quick modification to your URL.

      1. Add the Autoplay Parameter

      2. To enable autoplay, add ?autoplay=1 at the end of your embed URL.
        • Example: If your embed URL is https://www.youtube.com/embed/example modify it to:
           
          • https://www.youtube.com/embed/example?autoplay=1

      1. Test the Autoplay Feature

        • After updating the URL, paste it into the ThinkHub browser. The video should now load and begin playing automatically.

      2. Save the Canvas with Autoplay Enabled

        • Once the video is set to autoplay, save the canvas. Each time you open this Canvas, the video will start playing automatically.
