Crowdcast

Due to recent changes (w/c 10 June 2024) by YouTube, sharing videos from YouTube via the Studio or AV module is currently not possible. However, you can still share videos from Wistia and Vimeo without issue and are still able to share youtube video with audio in Chrome.

Access the Studio or AV Module: Open the <a href="https://docs.crowdcast.io/en/articles/7235072-how-to-use-the-studio">Studio</a> or <a href="https://docs.crowdcast.io/en/articles/7231877-screen-sharing-during-an-event">AV module</a>.

Select Video Source: Choose a Wistia or Vimeo file as your source.

Share the Video: Follow the standard procedure to share the video content.

1. Access the Studio or AV Module: Open the <a href="https://docs.crowdcast.io/en/articles/7235072-how-to-use-the-studio">Studio</a> or <a href="https://docs.crowdcast.io/en/articles/7231877-screen-sharing-during-an-event">AV module</a>.
2. Select Video Source: Choose a Wistia or Vimeo file as your source.
3. Share the Video: Follow the standard procedure to share the video content.

If direct sharing of YouTube videos is temporarily unavailable, you can still share them using a workaround.

1. Open YouTube Video in Chrome
2. Share from AV Module:

In the AV module, select the option to share a Screen

Choose the Chrome tab with the YouTube video.

Watch a <a href="https://www.loom.com/share/1113497d3cb04c96bc3b4ac79b89c9c0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">video</a> no how to do this.

- In the AV module, select the option to share a Screen
- Choose the Chrome tab with the YouTube video.
- Ensure you select “share tab audio”
- Watch a <a href="https://www.loom.com/share/1113497d3cb04c96bc3b4ac79b89c9c0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">video</a> no how to do this.

Ensure you have the latest version of Chrome for the best performance.

This workaround is temporary and a direct sharing option will hopefully be available again soon.
