Embed your video on a webpage

Users that belong to a Plus or Business (Essentials, Growth, Enterprise) account can do more with embed codes, like choose between an inline and lightbox video, define a fixed embed size, or use an iframe.

1. Select the Share button next to a video in your library
2. Click on the button to open the embed options
3. Switch the embed toggle ON to make the video embeddable
4. Select an embed option, then click on Copy Code
5. Paste the embed code into the source HTML of the webpage or application where you want to add the video.

The lightbox embed allows you to present your video as the focal point of the page. When the viewer clicks on the thumbnail, the lightbox embed loads your video in the center of the screen, dimming all other elements on the page. 

Both the thumbnail and the video component itself are automatically responsive.

• If you want to use specific dimensions, you can set a max width and height for the video thumbnail to adjust its size on the page
• Because the video component itself takes up the majority of the page when the video plays, it will comfortably respond to the dimensions of the browser window as it changes size.

Sometimes the standard inline embed runs into problems when you try to add a video to a webpage or application (for example, a CMS) that does not support javascript.

The iframe embed acts as a great fallback option. An iframe allows you to display the video on the page from an external source, bypassing the restrictions on in-page javascript.

However, there are some drawbacks to the iframe embed. The iframe may limit Vidyard's ability to pass video analytics to an integrated marketing automation tool, such as Marketo, HubSpot, Eloqua or Pardot. You also cannot use the javascript Player API with the iframe.

1. Select the Share  button next to a video in your library
2. Click the button to open the embed options
3. Select the More Options tab, then click on Copy iFrame Code. 

You can adjust the dimensions of the iframe by changing the height= and width= values in the source code. 

<iframe class="vidyard_iframe" src="//play.vidyard.com/uuid.html?" width="640" height="360" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Email is a great way to share video and connect with your audience.

Use this embed option to add a hyperlinked thumbnail image of your video into the template for your email marketing campaign.

You can then use merge tags to identify your viewers and capture video engagement data in Vidyard from the recipients on your mailing list.

Not everyone who you work with may have access to your video library. That's why we've provided you with an easy way to share the embed options for a video with others —even if they don't have access to Vidyard.

1. Select the Share button next to a video in your library,
2. Click the button to open the embed options
3. Select the More Options tab, then select Copy Link 
4. Share the link with a project partner or colleague
