How do I Remover the Tabs?
How do I remove the "Edit", "Preview" etc tabs from the embedded video? Once the overlay has been added to the video and embedded on a blog or other website the tabs are a big distraction and encourage tinkering rather than following the links.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?To remove the EDIT button from an embedded player, copy the embed code and add a variable called “showCreate” with a value of “false” to the list of variables that is passed in.

Inappropriate?Thanks for the quick response but I can't get it to work :(
Here's what I have in Typepad with the showCreate added to the end.
[Had to add as an image!]
I’m anxious

Working on it - our FAQ is not consistent with the new embed code. -
Inappropriate?I see. We need to modify our FAQ to reflect the correct approach, which is:
< and > removed
embed src='http://static.overlay.tv/images/media/authoringtool.swf' flashvars='overlay_id=3597&thumbnail=http://static.overlay.tv/images/overlays/211f4dc05cb9012be151fff5c6db158f_lthumb.png&configfile=http://static.overlay.tv/config/embed_config.xml&host=http://www.overlay.tv/&showCreate=false' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' width='504' height='475' allowfullscreen='true' wmode='transparent' allowScriptAccess='always'
This gives you:
In the below code I have also turned off the Carousel at the bottom of the player:
embed src='http://static.overlay.tv/images/media/authoringtool.swf' flashvars='overlay_id=3597&thumbnail=http://static.overlay.tv/images/overlays/211f4dc05cb9012be151fff5c6db158f_lthumb.png&configfile=http://static.overlay.tv/config/embed_config.xml&host=http://www.overlay.tv/&showCreate=false&showCarousel=false' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' width='504' height='475' allowfullscreen='true' wmode='transparent' allowScriptAccess='always'
This gives you:
1 thing I notice is that this makes the Turn On / Turn Off less intuitive. We are working on a fix for this that should be ready soon.
I’m feeling better now.

Inappropriate?Actually do not do the showCarousel='false' - that might cause problems with your Overlay. We are looking into this.
I’m trying here.

Inappropriate?Thanks for looking into this Ben. Much appreciated.
I think it looks best without the carousel but the links don't actually work any more - I tried with Explorer and Chrome.
If you could get rid of the Turn Off/On tab that would be great.
Thanks
Robert
I’m grateful you're looking into it - thank you.

Inappropriate?Exactly. Would be great to have an option in the edit area of the account to ADD or TAKE OUT the tabs (other) than "share" around the player. At least in my case, when posting the embeded player on a site after you've made the overlays, people may spend less time paying attention to the created content and more time trying to edit your content.
Great product, enjoying learning and can't wait to see it grow!
Thanks
I’m excited

Inappropriate?While waiting for the update I've been working with KickApps. I wonder if the embed code will work here?
-
Inappropriate?It does! My point is, the widget above is more elegant solution. I know it's not exactly comparing like-with-like but it achieves the same aim with a smaller footprint.

Inappropriate?Hey Rob, in reply to your earlier question;
To remove the Turn On , Turn Off tab just add this piece of code to the embed;
showAds=false
It's added in the same manner as the other features, like turning create off.
We are currently working with the carousel being able to be turned off and should have a resolution shortly.
