Wait... what?!?!
I can play background music at a Remo Event...???
Yes, you can – through a content banner!! With Content Banners, you can display musical videos that guests can play when joining your event.
A couple of things you'll need before you can set this up though:
- A Remo Event
- A Youtube, Vimeo, or Twitch video of the music you want to play
1. Find the event you'd like music for on your My Events page
2. Click the pencil icon in the upper right corner of the event card to go into your Event Settings
3. Click 'Advanced' and then 'Floor Content' from the menu on the left-hand side, and select "Add Content". Fill in a name for this content banner.
4. For Content Type, select "Video". Then, you can paste the link of your Youtube, Vimeo, or Twitch music video you wanted.
5. For Display type, select "Floorplan" - this means the music video will be displayed directly on your floorplan for guests to interact with.
6. Select which banner location you'd like to use to display this video
If you'd like to feature this video on your floor plan, remember you can actually build your own custom floor plan. This way you can decide the sizes of each of your Content Banners (so you can make one large and in the center of your event space, for example).
For more details on custom floor plans, check out this article.
7. Press "Save Content" and your background music content banner is all set up and ready to go!
These instructions apply whether its a music clip, video clip, or even a livestream!
Autoplay option:
To just autoplay - very simply, add "autoplay=1" to the end of your URL
E.g. https://youtu.be/TLwhqmf4Td4 ---> https://youtu.be/TLwhqmf4Td4?autoplay=1
E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLwhqmf4Td4 ---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLwhqmf4Td4&autoplay=1
(Support note: Whether you use "&" or "?" before the autoplay parameter depends on how many other parameters you have in your link - if it's the first parameter like my first example, you use "?autoplay=1". If it's not the first parameter like my second example, you use "&autoplay=1") --> This applies to the below as well and to all parameters
To autoplay and loop (or just loop)
Change the youtube domain toyoutube-nocookie.com
To autoplay add the parameter "autoplay=1"
To loop, add these two parameters:
"loop=1"
"playlist=********" (where ****** = your video ID (found from the original Youtube link - the string of letters and numbers after either "embed" or "watch")
E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLwhqmf4Td4 ---> https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/watch?v=TLwhqmf4Td4&playlist=TLwhqmf4Td4&loop=1&autoplay=1
