Show Popup of YouTube video within Google Doc

Question

I want to show YouTube video as pop over on Google Doc. So, if I keep a YouTube link within my Google Doc and then click on the link then the YouTube video should show / play as pop up.

Answer 1

Although you could use Apps Script to create a custom dialog with the YouTube video in it, you can't initiate Apps Script from a link in a Google Doc. You'd have to add a menu item to the doc which would look for all the YouTube links in the doc and give the user the ability to select which one to play.
