# YouTube Widget

The YouTube Overlay Widget is useful for showing a persistent YouTube video on your stream. The YouTube video URL supports many different text formats and supports Special Identifier replacement.

Because YouTube videos do not have a specific resolution set for them, you *must* specify both width and height for the video.

The Start Time option allows you to set at what second into the video it will start playing.

The Volume slider allows you to set the overall volume level of the video. If you wish to control the audio device that the video is played over, you must either change the default audio device selected in Windows -or- control the audio of the web browser source containing this YouTube Overlay Widget within your streaming software.

The YouTube Overlay Widget can be set to automatically refresh the contents shown via the "Refresh Time" option on the Details tab.
