Instead of uploading a video file in the MEDIA tab, a video can also be linked as external content. It will then open in a new window within the exhibition, rather than a player on the wall as with the video file.

The procedure shown in this chapter is an extension of the principle explained here. It replaces the default contact form.

To include external content in your exhibition:

1 - create an artwork with a cover image for the external content, in the same proportions as the video player (both player and cover image proportions need to match)

2 - in the ADDITIONAL INFO tab, add the TAG "externalDetails" (in this spelling)

3 - assign a title for the link

Embeddable code as needed in this case differs from the normal url of such a video.

For youtube, edit the copied code in this manner:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QunJbC3_e7k

to

https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/QunJbC3_e7k

For vimeo, in this scheme:

https://vimeo.com/585926868

becomes

https://player.vimeo.com/video/585926868

4 - put the manually edited URL into the URL field in the same ADDITIONAL INFO tab.

5 - Save your artwork and curate it in an exhibition.

Please consider the legal implications when copying and embedding other people's videos in your exhibition.
