How can I play a video

Can I add a video to my page? Essentially I have the opening crawl and I want a video to play for everyone. What about google hangouts. Would that work. I can't seem to get it all to work

You cannot, to my knowledge, play a video within Roll20. You can put the link to the video in a handout and instruct the players to watch it, or I believe Google Hangouts has an option to share your screen with other people in the hangouts which might allow you to play the video for everyone at once. I haven't experimented with the last option, so I can't confirm that it will work definitely work.

Right I can play a video in the youtube addon to hangouts. BUT I think I cannot force everyone to it so it is a bit clunky. I have to ask all players to switch tabs then play for them. Kind of clunky but can work i guess

Jason, I've also put the youtube link in a handout and pushed the link.
