Introduction

You can embed video from any third-party platform like YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, and other Online Video Platforms(OVP) like JW Platform, Brightcove, Kaltura, etc. to Muvi. When your subscribers/viewers click on the video (from a third-party platform) on your website/mobile app, it will be played on their (third-party) player. However, the video links you add from the other OVPs (Video files in .m3u8 format) will be played on Muvi's video player. There will be no bandwidth consumed while playing the videos from the third-party platform as they will be played from their server.

How to Add Video From Third Party Platform

• In order to embed video from a third party platform, click on “Manage Content” --> “Content Library.”
• On the “Content Library” page, click on “Upload Video.”
• On the “Upload Video” page, select the option “Embed from 3^rd Party”.

• Click on ‘Save”. When your subscriber/viewers click on the video on your website the video will start playing full screen on your browser.
