Tips Of The Week

How to embed your videos

It's time for another Tip of the Week!  This week we would like to show you how to embed your uploaded videos on your website (or any other website)!  You can embed your videos by any of the following methods:

Embed a playlist of videos using the VOD Channel embed code: click on a VOD Channel under “Channels” in the left-hand menu of your Media Cloud account and then switch to the “EMBED” tab on the far right which opens the player customization page with the player embed code you can copy.

Embed the player for a Sub Channel: click on "Video On-Demand" under “Channels” in the left-hand menu of your Media Cloud account. Then switch to the “SUBCHANNELS” tab and click on the title of the Sub Channel you would like to embed. Switch to the “EMBED” tab on the far right which opens the player customization page with the player embed code you can copy.

Embed a single video: click on “Media” in the left-hand menu of your Media Cloud account and select “Video Archive”. Click on the title of the video you would like to embed and then switch to the “EMBED”  tab on the far right which opens the player customization page with the player embed code you can copy.
