Embed Video in HTML (original) (raw)
The goal of vembedr is to make it a little bit easier for you to embed videos into your RMarkdown documents and your Shiny apps; these services are supported:
- YouTube
- Vimeo
- Box
- Microsoft Stream
New to version 0.1.5
- updated internal implementation to comport with latest Pandoc. (#52, thanks @jnolis!)
- deprecated Microsoft Channel 9 (including UserR! 2016 & 2017), as Channel 9 has been moved. (#54)
Installation
You can install the latest released version from CRAN with:
or the latest development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ijlyttle/vembedr")Documentation
This project supports two documentation-websites, built using pkgdown:
- CRAN version
- latest developent version from GitHub
Usage
The most useful function might be [embed_url()](reference/embed%5Furl.html). If the URL is from one of the supported services, it will do the right thing:
The video is not embedded in this README file as is rendered to Markdown; to see embedded videos, please see [vignette("vembedr")](articles/vembedr.html). Each of the supported services, e.g. YouTube, is discussed in [vignette("embed")](articles/embed.html).
The functions are designed to be piped. For example, here’s how you can modify the appearance and the start time:
To see these functions in action, see [vignette("modify")](articles/modify.html).
Caveats
- Be aware that, due to licensing issues, not all videos will play when embedded at a different site (like your HTML document).
- The RStudio viewer will embed YouTube and Vimeo videos, but not others. Videos from all services should be rendered as you expect in a browser like Chrome.
- Some of the formatting, e.g. rounded corners, does not render on mobile sites.
