Is there a way to start video in a loop with startShareVideo?

I want that the video I started with startShareVideo to loop. Is there a way to do this ?

I couldn’t find any API command that give me direct access to the player or any configuration about this.

The reason for this is that I want to create a fake conference for infrastructure monitoring purposes. So I have to put something inside that shows activity while it’s running.

Share video is not using anything from the backend, it just instructs the rest of the clients to open a youtube link.

?? When I start the video, another participant with a V square enters the conference and plays the video. If that you say is true, why there is necessity of another participant ?

Anyway can I instruct them to loop the video ?

This is just a UI thing, that is a fake participant and is there for people to be able to see there is a video played and to be able to switch to other participants video and be back to the played video.

You will be monitoring whether clients can load a youtube video.

I don’t think this can be done without changing the code.

For youtube this is here: jitsi-meet/YoutubeVideoManager.js at 754f6584891a34a2860f6e4cf555314aafee85e0 · jitsi/jitsi-meet · GitHub
the params passed when you load the video.

And for the normal video files: jitsi-meet/VideoManager.js at 754f6584891a34a2860f6e4cf555314aafee85e0 · jitsi/jitsi-meet · GitHub
