How Do I Add Streaming Video to My Own Website?
You can show the streaming video clips that you post to your eSpeakers profile on your website. The hosting and streaming fees are included in your eSpeakers Pro account.
Why Use eSpeakers Video Instead of YouTube or Vimeo on My Website?
If your site currently uses YouTube or Vimeo video, switching to the eSpeakers video plugin will give your visitors a much better experience:
- Silky-smooth HD-format (widescreen) video
-
Always-visible playlist encourages more watching -- of only your videos
-
Video links on your pages can be any size/shape (YouTube embeds are the full size of the video, which really limits page design)
-
Your name is always displayed over the top of the video, giving your constant branding
-
Never recommends competitor videos when yours is done playing (YouTube can do this if not configured correctly)
Answers to Some Frequently Asked Questions:
You can use the plugin as many times as you want on your site. You might have a 'My Videos' page with a list of all your videos, and also use links to individual videos in other places on your site.
For technical reasons, you cannot use the plugin more than once on the same page.
If you link to an individual video, and then later remove that video from your profile, the link will no longer work even if you upload a new video with the same name. You'll need to get a new code snippet to replace the old one on your web page.
To protect your content, the video plug-in only works on your website. How does it know? Any site listed on the PROFILE page under MAIN WEBSITE or MEDIA-SPECIFIC WEBSITE is cleared, anything else is not.
The plug-in works great on blogs that let you paste in standard HTML code. On Wordpress, you will need to have it hosted at your own domain (ie
www.you.com),
as sites hosted at you.wordpress.com strip out HTML code that you enter.
