Video shows players what a system looks like at full speed. A playbook can hold video in several ways: clips from your Clips library, uploaded files, YouTube or Streamable links, and video built into your drill diagrams.
Video Clip blocks
A Video Clip block adds a clip or playlist from your HockeyShare Clips library. Add the block and click Choose Clip or Playlist. Pick a clip under My Clips or a playlist under Playlists, or search your videos by name. Players watch it right in the playbook.
Uploaded video, YouTube and Streamable
- Video – upload a video file. Choose whether it shows controls, autoplays or loops.
- YouTube and Streamable – paste the video's link. It plays inside the playbook.
Free and Premium accounts have different upload size limits. If an upload is too large, use a Video Clip or a YouTube link instead.
Video in your drill diagrams
If you've added videos to a drill diagram, a play button appears on the diagram where the video sits. When that drill is in your playbook through a Hockey Drill block, the play buttons work there too, including in Presentation mode.
Good to Know
- Video Clip blocks play only while the playbook owner has a Premium account.
- A clip shows No longer available if it was deleted, is still processing, or was removed from the owner's Clips library.
- Videos show as a still image in the PDF.
Tips
- Keep clips short: one clip per system, showing the key read.
- Put a Callout under each clip telling players what to watch for.
- Use a playlist when you want to show the same system from several games.
