Legacy Event Site Embed Player Query Parameters

This guide documents all supported query parameters for the legacy event site embed player (URLs using ?embed-view=1). These parameters allow you to customize player behavior when embedding Videosync events on your own website.

Query Parameters Reference

autoplay

Usage: ?embed-view=1&autoplay=1

Default behavior: In embed mode, autoplay is disabled by default. You can override this by adding autoplay=1 to the URL.

Example:

<iframe src="https://flik.videosync.fi/your-event?embed-view=1&autoplay=1"></iframe>

muted

Controls whether the player audio is muted on load.

Usage: ?embed-view=1&muted=1

Default: false (unmuted)

Values:

• muted=1 - Player starts muted
• muted=0 - Player starts unmuted (default)

Example:

<iframe src="https://flik.videosync.fi/your-event?embed-view=1&muted=1"></iframe>
