* Add a `BPM_VideoPlayer` to your level.
* Add a `BPM_VideoPlayerControl` to your level.
* In Editor, select the VideoPlayer. A Web URL can be selected to play on start up by adding the desired URL to `M2Video`-> `Src` in the details section.<br>
* While in game, open the control panel by clicking on it (assuming use of a role with permissions to use control panels such as director). The Web URL can be updated in here by editing the `Video URL` section.\
