FAQ
Q: What happens if I use a regular video link instead of an embed link?
A: If you use a standard link (such as youtube.com/watch?v=...), your video will not display. Only embed URLs in the correct format will work. Be sure to follow the instructions in the How to Get the Correct Embed Link section.
Q: Can I embed more than one video in my profile?
A: No. You can only include one embedded video in your profile at a time. If you enter a new link, it will automatically replace the previous one.
Q: Why don’t I see the “Video URL (embedded on the profile)” field?
A: This feature must be enabled by the event organizer. If you don’t see the video URL field while editing your profile, it likely hasn’t been activated for your event. Reach out to your event organizer for assistance.
Q: Will my video be visible on both web and mobile?
A: Yes. Once embedded, your video will appear on both the web platform and the mobile app, giving all attendees a consistent viewing experience.
Q: Will my video autoplay or be muted by default?
A: No. Videos added to your profile will not autoplay. Viewers will need to press the play button to watch your content.
