Embed video: Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to embed videos?

When you want to find a tool that will enable you to embed videos on your website, there are several important factors to consider. It is best to find a hosting provider who supports high quality videos, such as HD or 4K, provides the option to embed a responsive video player, and enables you to customize your embedded content.

ScreenPal offers all of these options and more. When you create an embed code for your ScreenPal video, you can select a preset size or choose the Responsive player option. A responsive player maintains your video’s original aspect ratio while automatically scaling your video to fit the width of your viewer’s screen. This type of player gives your viewers the best viewing experience by automatically adjusting your video to fit any screen size, from mobile devices to desktop computers.

If you have a Solo Max plan or you’re the member of a Team Business or Team Education plan, you can publish and upload videos up to 4K. You can also add up to three custom thumbnail images per video, upload a logo to display on your videos, and change the color of the player. Changing the color of the video player and adding custom branding attracts attention, makes your content more engaging, and allows you to build trust in your brand.

You can also create custom links to better indicate the subject matter of your videos, select player customization options, and determine which actions you want to allow your viewers to perform when interacting with your content.
