Help with sharing and embedding
Links, embeds, oEmbed, playlists and social previews.
Sharing a Banned.Video video can be as simple as copying its link. You can also start the link at a set moment, embed the player on your own site, or collect videos in a playlist. When someone pastes your link into a chat or social app, a preview card with the thumbnail and title appears.
The articles below cover each way to share and the settings that control it.
Which way to share
- Send a link when you want people to watch on Banned.Video, with comments and related videos.
- Use an embed when you want the player inside your own web page or blog post.
- Use a playlist when several videos belong together, like a course or a series.
- Check the thumbnail before you post, because it becomes the image on the preview card.
