If you’re showing your explainer animation at a conference or trade show, you really don’t want to be pressing play every 2-3 minutes. The good news is it’s not hard to loop your video so that you only press play once.
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 5 Minutes
Step 1: Find Your Video’s URL
First, find the web address URL for the video you want to share.
We’ll use our demo reel as an example: https://youtu.be/L3O5vz6dWWc (Sidenote: That song always gets me pumped up.)
Step 2: Find your Video ID within your video’s URL:
This is the string of letters and numbers that represents a unique code for each video:
https://youtu.be/L3O5vz6dWWc
Step 3: Insert that Video ID into this URL:
https://www.youtube.com/v/VIDEO_ID?version=3&loop=1&playlist=VIDEO_ID
See the two places where it says Video ID? You guessed it, you’ll need to replace those with your unique ID from the original URL.
The final URL should look like this:
https://www.youtube.com/v/L3O5vz6dWWc?version=3&loop=1&playlist=L3O5vz6dWWc
And voila: Click on your link for an infinite loop of engagement and persuasion!
