JavaScript API

You can control the state of the video widget using JavaScript.

You can access the API via:

window.PlaySee

This is an array of objects representing the video widgets connected to the page.

To access the API of a specific widget, use its ID.

To get the widget ID, go to “Video Widgets”, find the widget you need in the list, and click “Widget Code”. The ID is displayed at the bottom of the opened form.

// window.PlaySee['your_widget_id'].method();

// List of available methods:
window.PlaySee['699de2309023ddfa11a5'].show();      // Show
window.PlaySee['699de2309023ddfa11a5'].hide();      // Hide
window.PlaySee['699de2309023ddfa11a5'].isVisible(); // Visibility status, true — widget is visible
window.PlaySee['699de2309023ddfa11a5'].collapse();  // Collapse
window.PlaySee['699de2309023ddfa11a5'].expand();    // Expand
window.PlaySee['699de2309023ddfa11a5'].mute();      // Mute
window.PlaySee['699de2309023ddfa11a5'].unmute();    // Unmute
window.PlaySee['699de2309023ddfa11a5'].pause();     // Pause video
window.PlaySee['699de2309023ddfa11a5'].play();      // Resume video playback
window.PlaySee['699de2309023ddfa11a5'].isPlaying(); // Playback status, true — video is playing
window.PlaySee['699de2309023ddfa11a5'].remove();    // Remove the widget from the page

Video widgets are loaded asynchronously. If you call the JavaScript API before the script has finished loading, it may not work because the widget has not yet been created. You should track the page load state or ensure sequential execution of asynchronous scripts.

You can disable automatic widget display in its settings. To do this, go to the “Display Settings” tab and in the “Widget Display Trigger” section select “Call via JS API (for developers)”.
