Copy and paste the following embed code inside the black box:

<style>

	.videoContainer {
		position: absolute;
		width: 75%;
		height: 100%;
		top: 0;
		left: 0;
		bottom: 0;
		right: 0;
		display: flex;
		flex-direction: column;
		justify-content: center;
		align-items: center;
	}


	.videoContainerChat {
		position: absolute;
		width: 25%;
		height: 100%;
		top: 0;
		right: 0;
		bottom: 0;
		right: 0;
		display: flex;
		flex-direction: column;
		justify-content: center;
		align-items: center;
		border: 0 !important;
	}

	iframe {
		/* optional */
		width: 100%;
		height: 100%; 
		border: 0 !important;
	}

</style>

<div class='videoContainer'>
	<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gVH6WvzwGeM?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

<div class='videoContainerChat'>		
	<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?v=gVH6WvzwGeM&amp;embed_domain=mysite.yeira.training"></iframe>
</div>

Step 3: Customize the code

Locate within the code that you pasted the following fragment:

<div class='videoContainer'><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gVH6WvzwGeM?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

From the URL of the Live Stream Video, copy the ID found in the YouTube long URL at the end of the "=" sign.

Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= YDxvizjBrl4

In the code snippet you located, replace with your own YouTube Video ID the corresponding section that follows right after the embed section from the YouTube link, like the following example:

Original template: https://www.youtube.com/embed/ gVH6WvzwGeM ?autoplay=1
Modified template: https://www.youtube.com/embed/ YDxvizjBrl4 ?autoplay=1

Locate the following section of code:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?v=gVH6WvzwGeM&amp;embed_domain=mysite.yeira.training"></iframe>

In the code snippet you located, replace with your own YouTube Video ID the corresponding section that follows right after the embed section from the YouTube link, like the following example:

Original template: https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?v= gVH6WvzwGeM &embed_domain=mysite.yeira.training
Modified template: https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?v= YDxvizjBrl4 &embed_domain=mysite.yeira.training

In this same code snippet, replace the URL my mysite.yeira.training with your own Yeira subdomain.

Original template: https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?v= gVH6WvzwGeM &embed_domain= mysite.yeira.training
Modified template: https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?v= gVH6WvzwGeM &embed_domain= mycourses.yeira.training

Ready! Everything is ready for you to broadcast your class from YouTube Live with Chat in your Course within your Yeira site .





Be careful to modify exclusively what is marked in orange, do not delete other parts of the source code.
