Embed your videos

Before you start

Your embed code uses one of your players. We recommend creating your own branded player first in Tools → Player Studio, so your videos match your brand and play the way you want.

Custom players are available during your free trial and on all paid plans. Bamboo Basic includes one custom player, and Bamboo Pro and Bamboo Business let you create as many as you need. On the Free plan, your embeds use the default player. Learn more: Player Studio: Create and Customize Your Player

Tip: player settings apply to every video you play with that player. Want a different behavior for another video? Create a separate player for each experience or brand.

Which player your embed code uses

Copy Embed in your video list: your default embed player. To change it, go to Content → Content Settings and choose a player under Player Configuration. If you haven't chosen one, the default player is used.
A video's Distribution tab: you choose the player before you copy the code.
Player Studio: the player you're editing.

Copy the embed code from your video list

Go to Content → Videos.
Click the ⋯ menu next to the video.
Click Copy Embed. The code is copied and ready to paste.

Choose a player and get links

Open the video from Content → Videos and go to the Distribution tab. Here you choose which player to embed with and find your video's direct links.

Embed code

Under Embed Code, choose a Player.
Copy the iFrame Embed (responsive, and works on most websites) or the JavaScript Embed.
Paste it into your website's HTML wherever you want the video to appear.

The code changes based on the player and the video you choose.

Video links

Need a link rather than an embed code? Under Links you'll find:

VOD Page URL: the video's page on your Bamboo website (when your site is live).
Standalone Page URL: a page with just the video, ready to share anywhere.
HLS Stream URL: the video's stream, for playing it in another player or app.

Embed from Player Studio

Player Studio lets you preview any of your content in a player and copy its embed code: videos, live events, channels, and playlists. To embed a video:

Go to Tools → Player Studio and open the player you want to use.
At the top of the editor, choose Videos and pick the video.
Under Embed Code, choose iFrame or JavaScript and copy the code.

Embed on WordPress

Copy your embed code, then in the WordPress editor add a Custom HTML block and paste the code into it.
