General Option! / Director Option! (&director, &push, &room, &view, &scene)

Options

Example: &widget=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Flive_chat%3Fis_popout%3D1%26v%3DORBwkXsUNEs

Value	Description
(URLComponent-encoded URL value)	load a side-bar with that page as an IFRAME embed

Details

&widget lets you pass a URLComponent-encoded URL value. It will load a side-bar with that page as an IFrame embed, with support for YouTube/Twitch specifically added.

This was designed for Twitch / YouTube / Social Stream chat, but could in theory work with any CORS-friendly site, such as a third-party web tool.

The director of a room also has the option to enable/disable the widget function for everyone in the room via the room settings menu.

You can encode the URL here: https://www.urlencoder.org/

Changing the width of the widget sidebar

&widgetwidth can be used to set the width of the widget sidebar, as a percentile value.

• eg: &widgetwidth=30

• the max width is 50%, with the default already at 25%

Considerations

• not all domains allow themselves to be embedded into VDO.Ninja

• you cannot use &css or &js in conjunction with &widget, for security purposes

If the director uses &widget, it will auto sync that with all guests as they connect. I'll try to find ways to make it easier to resize/minimize in the future.

Widgets and IFrames will fail to load if inserting custom CSS into VDO.Ninja using &css or &base64css. This is done for user security in mind.
