How do I disable player functions such as the Sharing button by only using the embed code?

Overview

Vidyard has many options within the platform to adjust the player settings such as the display of the social sharing button. However, if you only have the embed code and no platform access, then you may feel stuck - but we do have a solution.

Solution

You can use the player query strings within the Javascript to manipulate the majority of player options. 

See our article for more information on how to use query strings to override player settings.

For example: if you wish to disable the sharing button then you could add a viral_sharing=0 string. The player embed code would then look like this:

<script type="text/javascript" id="vidyard_embed_code_UUID" src="//play.vidyard.com/UUID.js?v=3.1.1&type=inline&viral_sharing=0"></script>
