Hello everyone, I have been scratching my head trying to figure this out but don’t even know where to start.

I added the theme component, Media Overlay Component, and was hoping it would work with uploaded audio files as well as links for videos.

They can even navigate to a different topic and the media will continue working. It works with any \<iframe\> or \<video\> (with some special treatment for lazyYT). It adds a button to every compatible thing, which then opens a little popup in the bottom right. You can then “minimise” it, …

The most I was able to get was a file download of the mp3 hosted on my server that opened up automatically when the page loaded, which was interesting but definitely not what I wanted.

So is there an easy way to format a link for the native player to open into an iframe when clicked, so I can use the media overlay component to minimize the player and continue to use the site?

Thanks ahead of time for taking the time to read this.
