Hi Shirli,

Here is how to achieve this:

  1. In the url field in your collection, in the items where you don’t have videos add a dummy place holder url. something like: ’ http://placeholder.com ’

  2. In the code you need to use the getCurrentItem function to get the data and then check it looks something like this (videosrc is the name of the url field) :

$w . onReady ( function () {
$w ( ‘#dynamicDataset’ ). onReady (()=>{
let currentItem = $w ( ‘#dynamicDataset’ ). getCurrentItem ();
console . log ( currentItem )
if ( currentItem . videosrc === ‘http://placeholder.com’ ){

    $w ( '#videoPlayer1' ). hide (); 
}

})
});
