Introduction
Embed player is an iFrame that has the endpoint to content to play that content. It can easily be embedded into any third-party website. User authentication is not required to play content in the Embed Player. There is an option to use the embedded player in specific domains in the player settings of Muvi One, Muvi Flex, Muvi Playout, and Muvi Live, and if that is enabled and domains are added then it will work in those domains only.
