Volume
This option allows you to adjust the playback volume on the display device.

Your viewing device must support audio playback to use this option.

The “Volume” parameter has no effect on players with Android operating systems; videos are always played at the preset system volume.

Size
The “Size” property is used to determine the scaling behavior of the module. The visible dimensions of the module are always determined by its parent layer and the maximum sizes defined with it.

  • Original size
    The video is shown 1:1 in its original size on the display. Depending on the display resolution, the display may vary between different display devices.
  • Contain
    The video is scaled so that the entire video is always visible on the layer. This may result in not covering the entire layer with the video.
  • Cover
    The video is resized so that the entire layer is always covered with the video.

In the following diagram below, you can see how the different video scaling variants render your video.

 

Playback duration

By default, a video stream is displayed as long as the connection to the streaming server is stable. If you still want to limit this duration, you can set the maximum time in seconds here.

After you save, the stream will now appear directly on the screen.
