Custom code works on all paid plans (except for the archived Creator plan). With a Free plan, you can see working code in Preview mode but not in a published project.
We recommend enlisting a professional web developer to work with Code Injection—Readymag support won’t be able to assist with custom code issues.
To embed a video from Dropbox on your Readymag website, please follow these steps.
-
Open your Dropbox and find the sharing link for the video you’d like to use. Your sharing link should look something like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/eld898yj9625tlq/Medium%204%20Hiding%20in%20editor.mp4?dl=0
-
Replace `dl=0` with `raw=1`:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/eld898yj9625tlq/Medium%204%20Hiding%20in%20editor.mp4?raw=1
-
Replace the link in the code below with your intended link, then copy the code and paste it into the Code widget.
<video width='100%' autoplay='true' playsinline='' loop='true' muted='true'> <source src='https://www.dropbox.com/s/eld898yj9625tlq/Medium%204%20Hiding%20in%20editor.mp4?raw=1' type='video/mp4'> </video>
A video embedded with this code will fill the entire widget container. It will also be auto-played, muted, and looped. You can alter the following HTML attributes depending on the desired effect: video_width, autoplay, muted, video_poster, etc.
Learn more about HTML videos in MDN Web Docs.
Dropbox is updating its shared link system so that links are based on content instead of users.
This change affects how links are created and shared. New links will include an ‘rlkey’ parameter in the URL. To grant access, make sure the entire ‘rlkey’ parameter is included in the link.
We also suggest using the official Dropbox Embedder for an optimal experience.
