Media embed on external websites

Since you now learned how to upload your own media to the server, this section will show you how to embed your media on different external websites – as long as your server is connected to the internet. You can easily embed or share your media to external websites and also on social networks without any technical foreknowledge.

Embedding your VIMP media

Embedding your media on an external website means that the medium will be shown and played directly on the external website without leaving it or entering the VIMP portal through a link.

To embed your medium, you only need the embed code shown in the following image, which you can simply copy and paste to the external website.

To get the code, point your mouse over the “Share” button without clicking it. An overlay will appear in which you can choose between two embed options, Iframe and JavaScript, on the right-hand side. You can find the exact differences between the two options in our FAQ section.

In the overlay, you can adjust the size of the embedded player in pixels and choose whether the aspect ratio should be fixed, the video should be played automatically when the page is called up or the video player should be scaled dynamically on all end devices ("responsive" option for the iframe embed). Each change to these settings automatically generates a new embed code, which you can simply select and copy from the field.

Each change to these settings automatically generates a new embed code, which you can simply select and copy from the field.

Important: Select the complete embed code including the HTML tags (<iframe> or <script> etc).

Share your VIMP media on social networks

Of course, you can also share your media in the popular social networks Facebook and Twitter. Click on the icon of the social network where you want to share your medium (for example Facebook). The exact position of the icons is shown in figure 30. To share the medium, you’ll be prompted to log in to your social network and enter a message for your post. The medium will appear on the timelines or the profiles of your friends and contacts automatically after you submitted the form.
