Customizing video display in the Soundslice embed

Here are the URL parameters that control video display in the Soundslice embed.

By default, Soundslice will choose a video position (either above notation or to the left of notation) depending on the player’s width, and it will automatically choose a video height/width to balance the available notation. The URL parameters on this page let you override our default behavior.

force_side_video=1

Forces video to always be displayed to the left of notation, regardless of embed width.

force_top_video=1

Forces video to always be displayed above notation, regardless of embed width.

narrow_video_height

Specifies the video’s height when the video is above notation. You can specify the height in two ways:

• Pixels. For example, narrow_video_height=150 sets the video’s height to 150 pixels.
• Percentage of total embed iframe height. Put a p at the end of the value for this. For example, narrow_video_height=30p sets the video’s height to 30% of the iframe’s height, making it responsive.

side_video_width

Specifies the video’s width when the video is on the left of notation. You can specify the width in two ways:

• Pixels. For example, side_video_width=500 sets the video’s width to 500 pixels.
• Percentage of total embed iframe width. Put a p at the end of the value for this. For example, side_video_width=50p sets the video’s width to 50% of the iframe’s width, making it responsive.

flippable=0

By default, each slice that has a non-YouTube video will include a “Flip video” button overlayed on the video. For some videos (such as piano videos), flipping the video isn’t useful. Use flippable=0 to hide the “Flip video” button.

vfs=0

By default, each video gets a “full-screen” icon in its upper right. Use vfs=0 to hide this icon so that people cannot make videos full-screen. Note you can still use the setNotationVisibility JavaScript API call to control full-screen (aka notationless) video yourself.
