# GrypsTube: Video Embedding Guide

This source provides technical instructions on how to integrate videos from the internal university video service, [[grypstube]], into other platforms.

## Embedding Methods
There are three primary ways to share or integrate GrypsTube content:
1. **Direct URL**: Copying the browser address of the video.
2. **HTML iframe**: Using the "Share" $\rightarrow$ "Embed" function to generate an `<iframe>` code.
3. **Platform-Specific Integration**:
    - **[[moodle]]**: Supports direct URLs as link elements or HTML embed codes (inserted via the source code editor button `< >`).
    - **[[typo3-backend]]**: Uses a dedicated "GrypsTube-Video" content element (under "Special Elements") which requires the **VideoID**.

## Technical Identifiers
- **VideoID**: The unique alphanumeric string found at the end of the video's URL (e.g., `5341f991-4c8c-45c1-926f-4801e699d1f1`). This identifier is mandatory for embedding videos within the TYPO3 editorial system.

## Playback Customization
Through the "Share" dialog, users can configure the following playback properties for embedded videos:
- **Start time**: Begin playback at a specific timestamp.
- **End time**: Stop playback at a specific timestamp.
- **Autoplay**: Start the video automatically upon page load.
- **Mute**: Start the video without sound/audio.
- **Loop**: Restart the video automatically upon completion. 
    - *Note: The Loop function is incompatible with specific start and end time settings.*
