### Linked Media

There are two types of linked media on SchoolSpace:

- [Spatial Video or Audio](https://support.schoolspace.io/add-video-or-audio#spatial-media) will start playing automatically when someone’s avatar gets close to it. Think of it like walking past a speaker in real life - you hear it when you're nearby and it fades out as you walk away.
- [Click-to-Place Media](https://support.schoolspace.io/add-video-or-audio#clickable-media) doesn’t start automatically. It appears as a clickable asset and the media plays when a user clicks the asset.

You'll find a breakdown of [supported media sources and how to find the correct link](https://support.schoolspace.io/add-video-or-audio#supported-media) to use in SchoolSpace below.

 

##### To Add Spatial Video or Audio:

1. Find or place the asset that will contain the media: 
     - To find an existing Asset: **Walk** to the asset or click **Assets ![assets](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/assets.svg)** on the left sidebar and search the *Placed Assets* list.
     - To place a new Asset: Click **Assets** ![assets](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/assets.svg) on the left sidebar. Click the *Placed Assets* dropdown and change to **SchoolSpace Assets.** Scroll or search for an asset to use.
2. Select the Asset you want to use: 
     - If you walked to the asset or placed a new asset, click **Builder Mode ![builder](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/builder.svg)** in the left sidebar, then **click the asset** to select.
     - If you searched *Placed Assets*, simply **click on the asse**t in the list.
3. In the Selection menu on the right side of your browser, click **Configuration** → **Media.**
4. In the *Media Type* dropdown, choose **Video (Link)** or **Audio (Link).**  
     - Use Audio (Link) if you only want the audio to play. *Example: A link to a YouTube video of forest sounds will only play the audio if Audio (Link) is selected.*
5. In the *Link Settings* section under *Video Link*, **paste the URL** for the media. See the [Supported Media guide](https://support.schoolspace.io/add-video-or-audio#supported-media) below for assistance.
6. \[Optional\] Add a **Video Title.** The title will be visible to users under the media.
7. Make adjustments as needed: 
     - Adjust **Volume.** Use the slider or number field to increase or decrease the playback volume.
     - Choose playback **Radius.** This is how close the user needs to be in order for the media to play. Click the **dropdown** and select: 
           - **Close:** Media will play when the user is next to the asset.
           - **Medium:** Media will play when the user is near the asset.
           - **Far:** Media will play when the user is further away.
           - **Everywhere:** Media will play regardless of how close the user is to the asset.
     - **Toggle on Sync Media** to make the media play from the same timestamp for all users who approach the asset. *Note: this option is only available for YouTube links.*
8. To test your media, click **Builder Mode** ![builder](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/builder.svg) on the left sidebar or press **B** on your keyboard to exit Builder Mode. If needed, **walk** to the asset so the media starts playing. You can always choose a different Radius if you want the change the distance needed to trigger the media.

When Sync Media is toggled on, if one user triggers the media to play and other users walk up later or the first person walks away and comes back, the media will start from the same timestamp. This is great for announcements or group videos.

##### Tips:

- Label clearly! Add a text asset or use an image that signals “Watch Video” or “Click to View.”

### Supported Media Sources

Use the table below for guidance on media sources and how to find the correct link for both types of linked media: [Spatial](https://support.schoolspace.io/add-video-or-audio#spatial-media) and [Click-to-Play](https://support.schoolspace.io/add-video-or-audio#clickable-media).

Some sources will not display in world and the sources listed below may change their sharing settings which is outside the SchoolSpace team's control. Always test the media after attaching it to the asset to make sure it works!

| **Media Source** | **Spatial Media** | **Click-to-Play Media** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **YouTube** | Use the URL in your browser | Use the URL from the [embed code](https://support.schoolspace.io/add-video-or-audio#find-embed-code) |
| --- |  |  |
| **YouTube Livestream** | Use the URL in your browser Toggle on Sync Media | Use the URL from the [embed code](https://support.schoolspace.io/add-video-or-audio#find-embed-code) |
| --- |  |  |
| **Twitch Live** | Use the url to your twitch channel | Use the URL from the [embed code](https://support.schoolspace.io/add-video-or-audio#find-embed-code) Replace 'www.example.com' with 'schoolspace.io' |
| --- |  |  |
| **Twitch Video** | Use the url to your twitch channel | Use the URL from the [embed code](https://support.schoolspace.io/add-video-or-audio#find-embed-code) Replace 'www.example.com' with 'schoolspace.io' After replacing the url add: &autoplay=true&muted=false&time=0s example: https://player.twitch.tv/?video=0000000&parent=schoolspace.io&autoplay=true&muted=false&time=0s |
| --- |  |  |
| **Vimeo** | Use the URL in your browser | Use the URL from the [embed code](https://support.schoolspace.io/add-video-or-audio#find-embed-code) |
| --- |  |  |
| **Dropbox** | Not supported | Use the 'Share' link Replace 'dl=0' with 'raw=1' |
| --- |  |  |
| **Others that support iframe embedding** | Test Spatial or Click-to-Play as needed |  |

 

#### How Do I Find an Embed Code?

For [Click-to-Play media](https://support.schoolspace.io/add-video-or-audio#clickable-media), you will typically need to get the URL from the media's **embed** **\</\>** code. Embed is typically an option in the media's share tool. If you're having trouble finding the embed code we recommend using a search engine with the name of the media source and 'how to find embed code' (i.e "how do I find an embed code for a YouTube video?").

Once you've found the embed code, we recommend copying and pasting the embed code into a separate note or doc so you can easy **copy the URL portion** and [modify as needed](https://support.schoolspace.io/add-video-or-audio#supported-media) before [adding it to SchoolSpace](https://support.schoolspace.io/add-video-or-audio#clickable-media).

Here are some example embed codes with the URL in bold:

| **YouTube** | \<iframe width="560" height="315" src="**`https://www.youtube.com/embed/Wfoy_OvNDvw?si=kBkyKn44kBpoU5Cs`**" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen\>\</iframe\> |
| --- | --- |
| --- |  |
| **Vimeo** | \<iframe title="vimeo-player" src="`https://player.vimeo.com/video/1094815419?h=05f8bbd847`" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share"   allowfullscreen\>\</iframe |
