Awesome video - no excuses now, lol!! I would love a video showcasing the new form experience using an embedded SharePoint List Power App that interacts with other SP Lists. Thanks

That’s right 😎 thanks for the suggestion! I’ll take a look at making a video around this. Glad you enjoyed the video!

👍 Good job. What variable and formula did you use to trigger the giftwrap video to start playing once is within the viewport?

[@PowerAppsGuy]

Thanks! The giftwrap video was an interesting one to solve. It is not shown when I go through the controls on screen at the beginning of the video. I used a PCF control called OnHoverReactPCF by Allan Vazquez (this can be found on the PCF Gallery website). There's a small drop zone at the bottom of the image above the gift wrap video that triggers the video to start playing. The OnChange property of this PCF sets a variable called varStartVideo to true when the mouse touches the hover zone, and the video's Start property is set to this variable. The video's OnEnd property then sets varStartVideo to false. To make sure the video doesn't constantly play when scrolling up and down if it already has played once on the page, I also have a check in the OnChange property of the PCF to check if the varStartVideo variable is blank. It will only play the video if it is blank (and by extension, will NOT play the video if it was set to false by the video's OnEnd property). In the OnVisible property of the screen, I then set the varStartVideo variable to blank, and that tells the control that the screen is freshly loaded and should play the video if you scroll down to that point. I also reset the video control at that point.

@ interesting I thought you just used the Y property of the video control to set the variable and trigger the video to start

Making an app that functions fluently on both phone and desktop has been my recent challenge.

Do you have a course available? If not, I'd pay $ to learn from you! Im more of a visual power apps developer. It's not very common to see power apps content focusing on UX/UI.

[@PowerAppsGuy]

I don't have a course created at this point, but I'm honored you're enjoying the videos enough to do that! I can promise you there will be more of these types of UX/UI videos in the future, and I'll definitely take creating a course into consideration. 😊 If you have any inquiries you can also send me an email at the link in my bio. Thanks!
