Media Button Plugin

The Media Button plugin is an extension to the Media Share Plugin, allowing guests or admins to change the Media Source of a screen by clicking an object in your scene.

You must have the Media Share Plugin installed to use the Media Button.

To start, open the Plugin Menu and install the free Media Button plugin.

Add the button component to any object. It can be a video thumbnail, a play button icon, a text object or a 3D model among other things. 

Component Settings

Choose the object you'd like to become a media button. In the object Properties > Components add the component for Media Button. 

The settings for the Media Button are:

• Select Via Name
• Media Player Name (or ObjectID)
• Media Source URL
• Who can Use (Everyone or Admin Only)
• Event Name

Media Player Name

Select the Media Player to play the media content to. The player must have the Media Source - From URL component in order to play the video content. 

If Select Media Name is disabled, you will need to copy the ObjectID of your media player object.

Media Source URL

A link to the media file or HLS stream to be played. Media files must be in Vatom Storage or another CORS-enabled server. 

Who can Use

Select whether Everyone or Only Admins can press the media button. 

Event Name

Send a Vatom Studio analytics event when the user clicks the button. If configured, events can trigger or activate different campaign actions like delivering points, objects or more.
