Embed for YouTube and Vimeo videos

rehan007 11 years, 2 months ago

Hi,

I also noticed that if we use vimeo or youtube as the place to upload the videos and wrap them in fv player to make them look as they were uploaded on our site then the player don’t show the ‘Embed’ link. I think I understand why it doesn’t but is there anyway to get around it and do so?

Regards,
Rehan

Hello Rehan,

embed function is not currently supported for these kinds of videos. The way the embed function works allows it to only work with directly linked video files and not video services like Vimeo or YouTube.

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Rehan,

Thanks for your request.

Hi Martin,

We should come up with some embedding code which provides video from the original site (YouTube or Vimeo) along with a “via referringwebsite.com” which links to the post/page.

We could even consider sending a wrapper on the original YouTube/Vimeo video. The only issue with this reembedding could violate YouTube/Vimeo TOS and cause our user to have his/her accounts closed. Lucia should have a look at TOS.

Making the web work for you, Alec
