Guide - How to Stream YouTube Link in LMX Content

How to stream a YouTube live link in LMX Content — converting the URL to embed format, adding autoplay parameters, and scheduling it in the platform.

For your information, as of now, LMX Content can only live stream from YouTube.
Live streaming from other platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc., is still not supported in LMX Content.

Step 1: Copy the original YouTube link

Example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91RYS-QHtz4

Step 2: Identify the Video ID

Look at the last part of the link or after ?v= in the link:

Example:

91RYS-QHtz4

That’s your Video ID.


Step 3: Use the YouTube embed base URL

Start with this format:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID

Replace VIDEO_ID with 91RYS-QHtz4:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/91RYS-QHtz4


Step 4: Add autoplay and other parameters

To make the video autoplay, muted, and cleaner, add this to the end of the URL:

?autoplay=1&mute=1&rel=0&showinfo=0

  • autoplay=1 → The video will start playing automatically when the page loads.

  • mute=1 → The video will start muted (no sound).

  • rel=0 → After the video ends, no related videos (or only videos from the same channel) will be shown.

  • showinfo=0Hide video title and uploader info at the beginning (note: YouTube changed how this behaves; it's mostly controlled differently now).

So your final URL becomes:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/91RYS-QHtz4?autoplay=1&mute=1&rel=0&showinfo=0

Important Notes

Scheduling a URL link in LMX Content will result in the content being streamed each time it plays. This will consume internet bandwidth continuously. Please ensure that the internet connection at the location has sufficient data capacity to support this, in order to avoid playback issues or interruptions.
