I am trying to setup a website page where 2 permanent live streams (from 2 different channels) are embedded. 2 buttons are present on the page, allowing the user to display 1 video or the other.
However I can't manage to make this work. I am now trying with regular youtube embed, but only one is displaying, the buttons don't have any effect. Also the autoplay doesn't seem to work...
I already tried the Livestream part, this works well, but not with 2 livestreams. Any advice where to look into. Thank you !
function showcam(num) {
for (let i = 1; i < 2; i++) {
document.getElementById("camera" + i).style.display = 'none';
}
document.getElementById("camera" + num).style.display = '';
console.log(num)
}

You have to use the iframe api in order to be able to control the video. From there, you'll be able to add more than 1 video and do make your own play buttons or toggle between them. If you need further help, I can try and give you an example that toggles between 2 videos.
