Some profiles start automatically playing sound or video. It's annoying. Is there a way to
stop it?
Yes. Go to Account Settings and in the
Interface section you'll find an option to disable to
the automatic play of sound and video that some profiles
contain.
How do I add sound and video to my profile?
You use the Embed tag to add sound and video to your profile. You can find documentation on Embed here:
http://www.webreference.com/js/column20/embed.html
This assumes that you have the sound and video files stored somewhere appropriate and that they are in a reasonable
format. But for youtube videos, you have to use their code (see below).
Note: Before adding sound to your profile (at least if it's set to autoplay), consider whether it will create
the effect you want. Many people find autoplayed sounds annoying (see above) and that may not the kind of impression
you want to make.
What about video from youtube?
Connexion makes a special case to allow video from youtube to be embedded even though
it technically violates some of the restrictions we've imposed on HTML.
When you are looking at a movie on the youtube site, there should be a field labeled "embed".
Simply click in the field, copy the contents and paste them into the About Me or Want to Meet
section of your profile. As long as you have HTML enabled for that field, the youtube
movie should display.
How do I a "recommend" a video?
Any video that you put in your profile from youtube.com or livevideo.com will automatically show
up on the recommendation list within an hour or less.
What does the 'Add to My Profile' button do?
This button was created so if you see a video on Connexion that you want on your profile, you can quickly add it by clicking this button.
A 'My Videos:' section will be created at the end of your about me. You can view the section by going to Edit Personal Info
in the 'About Me' section.
How do I remove a video I added to my profile from clicking the 'Add to My Profile' button?
• Go to Edit Personal Info in the 'About Me' section.
• Scroll to the end of the 'About Me' section and you will see <section name="My Videos:"> (see image above)
• To delete only the video, delete the text after <section name="My Videos:"> starting with <object width... to and including </object>.
• If you want the section deleted too, remove <section name="My Videos:">.
