Embed Player Guide

Overview

The Single Video Embed Player displays one video at a time, rotating on a preset schedule. This format is ideal for surfacing key training messages or safety tips without user interaction.

This article explains how to:

  • Manually change the featured videos
  • Understand how the rotation schedule works
  • Coordinate with Vimocity to adjust display timing
Note: Using an embedded playlist instead? View the Embed Playlist Guide HERE.

Definitions

  • Featured Video: The video currently displayed in the embed player
  • Video Rotation: How often the featured video changes

Basic Operation

  • The video in the top position of your playlist is the Featured Video that displays in the embedded player
  • When a video's display time ends, it automatically moves to the bottom of the playlist
  • The video in the 2nd position then moves to the top and becomes the Featured Video

Changing the Featured Video

  • To change the Featured Video: simply move any video to the top position
  • Upon saving the playlist, the Featured Video for that embed player will then change to whichever video is in the top position
  • The system will display your chosen video until the next scheduled Video Rotation time

Scheduled Video Rotation

  • Video Rotations occur automatically based on your preset interval
    • Example: If you have a 7 day video rotation, the Feature Video will change to the subsequent video in the playlist every week on Monday
  • If you change the Featured Video, that new video will remain as the Featured Video until the next Video Rotation
    • Example: If you update the featured video on Friday, it will display until Sunday night, then the next scheduled video appears Monday morning

Display Duration

  • The current display duration appears in the bottom right corner of the embedded player
  • You currently cannot change this setting yourself
