The new player introduces an updated sharing menu, providing enhanced options for embedding and sharing videos. Follow these steps to share a video using the updated functionality:
Accessing the Publishing Options
Navigate to the Publish section in VMPro.
Select the player you want to use to share the video.
If the selected player is based on the New Player, the following sharing menu will be available:
Share with i-frame
Use this option to embed your video on external websites. Just copy the i-frame embed code provided for your video.
Responsive i-frame - Toggle this option to make your i-frames responsive.
When you toggle the option to make your i-frames responsive in the New Player, the i-frame automatically adjusts its dimensions to fit the container it's placed in, regardless of the screen size or orientation. This eliminates the need for manually setting height and width values
Aspect Ratio of i-frame - Select and fix the aspect ratio of your embedded video to maintain consistent proportions on your webpages. When "Video" is selected in the drop-down menu, the i-frame inherits the video's original aspect ratio. This ensures the embedded container adjusts perfectly to the video content.
Share with Page Link
If you prefer to share the video via a direct link, use this option.
Hide Video Title on Page: Toggle this option to show or hide the video title on the share page.
Hide Video Description: Toggle to show or hide the video description on the share page.
Start Time: Specify a starting point for the video by entering a time in one of the following formats:
mm:ss
hh:mm:ss
This allows viewers to start the video from a specific point.
Click to copy the direct URL for sharing.
Note: These customizations apply only to the share page and do not affect the i-frame embed code.
With these options, sharing and embedding videos in your projects is more flexible and intuitive than ever. Use the new player features to create responsive, consistent, and customizable video experiences!
