ODYSEE

Odysee is supported!

Warning! To integrate a video from the Odysee.com site into one of your programs, you must not copy the link of the page that contains the video, but the link of the video itself by right-clicking on it (the link must end with .mp4).

It is recommended to upload/embed videos in 720p format because playback problems may occur for videos with a higher resolution. We advise you to test the URL by copying and pasting it into an Internet browser before inserting it into one of your programs. If a video from the Odysee site and whose URL ends with .mp4, encounters problems in a classic Internet browser, it will also encounter problems when viewing on the application.

Other

These services are not (yet) compatible with STV :(

But you can integrate videos from these services into your programs if you wish.
However, when watching your program in simulated TV mode, the video will not start automatically; you will have to start it manually and it will be displayed/broadcast directly from its source.

List of video sharing sites authorized but not compatible with simulated TV:

- Facebook Video
- PeerTube
- Dtube
...

Use other services to generate or transform text into videos!

For example, the site allows you to generate programs with a prompt, plain text, or even using your Facebook posts.
