How to embed a video file:
If you have already uploaded video files, and you’re now looking to embed a video on your website, this process is relatively straight-forward.
First, within your Dacast account, click on the blue name for the video file you want to embed:
Next, go to the PUBLISH SETTINGS tab for that content.
In the lower-left, you should see a series of embed codes as pictured below:
There are two types of embed codes available: JS (Javascript) and iframe. We recommend using the JS embed code, as it’s more universally compatible with the full-screen feature and is also a requirement in order for the URL referral restriction feature to work (which restricts content based on the websites allowed to host it).
That said, the iframe embed code is more compatible and required for some frameworks like WordPress and WIX.
Once you have selected your embed code type, the last step is inserting it into your website. This is going to differ a lot, but assuming you have access to edit at the HTML level it will look something like this:
|
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <script id=”177_f_89314″ width=”640″ height=”480″ src=”//static.www.dacast.com/backend/js/dacast_player.js” class=”dacast-video”> </body> </html>
|
You can change the width and the height parameters as well, which are highlighted in red above.
how can i live stream my TV Live channel to my website using Dacast given a url from the hosting company ,that is the one who is hosting the streaming server,
Well your website will host the content, we just provide you with the Data!
Is it possible to change the colors of the player itself?
My site is a darker site, and the player seems to default to bright white background with black letters.
Is there a way to have the player be dark with white letters?
