it would be ok as a video feature, but why youtube?

i support a video feature too in the next DLCs but i found this scirpt:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/openYoutubeVideo

That command was introduced recently and it was made specifically for the bootcamp update.

I just tried the command in the current A3 version, non dev.

test = openYoutubeVideo "watch?v=z0_qmVOUpPg";

It seems like the new command is not working yet.

Ah just tested it again. It works when starting from init.sqf and the steam overlay must be activated.

showing it ingame as PIP will be awesome

it can be a nice feature for mission briefings:
you click on a briefing topic and see an integrated video from the Internet.

Or at least a hyperlink in the briefing that would open the Internet browser with a given URL (but maybe a security problem?).

At the moment I am using this trick in my briefings:
