Embed Codes

Summary

When clients produce or have media hosted with Asset TV the video can be provided for them to use on their own websites alongside their Asset TV distribution. One way would be to use an embed code as described in this guide or another would be to use a standalone player, using this guide.

Embed codes allow a client to place their video in most places on any page in their website. These allow us to maintain control over the content and record MI data for the content whilst letting clients distribute the content outside of our site.

Adding a Player to the video and grabbing the Embed Code

Pre-requisite: You should've already set up the player you want to use using this guide.

  1. Edit the video you wish to obtain a player link for.
  2. In the Publishing section click on the subscriptions tab.
  3. Click on Add a new Site Player and enter the name of the player you wish to use.
  4. Enter the dates you wish the player to be active for.
  5. Select the Embed tab and check the Generate Embed Code option.
  6. Save the record and click to edit again.
  7. Return to the Publishing tab and click edit on the player you added in the above steps.
  8. The embed code will now appear on the Embed tab and can be copied and pasted.

Disable autoplay for embeds

Our embeds automatically play content once they are loaded. Sometimes this is muted, but that will depend on how much a user has interacted with our site. To stop a video autoplaying, you will need to modify the iframe embed url to include ?autoplay=false at the end. If you have any trouble please reach out via the help desk.
