Inserting videos
WebPlus includes an optimized and highly-compatible video player
from Flowplayer that lets you place individual videos and playlists
directly on your page. You can use videos from your own computer, or
stream videos that exist elsewhere online. The player is versatile with a
customizable appearance that gives viewers access to all the playback
controls they'd expect, including watching videos full-screen.
Supported video formats
The primary supported video format is MP4 (.mp4). For extended
compatibility, Flowplayer can supplement MP4 video with WebM
(.webm) and Ogg Video (.ogv) variants to use where MP4 is not
supported. Flowplayer achieves excellent compatibility using the
modern HTML5 standard to stream video without requiring a browser
plug-in, but on older computer systems where HTML5 is not supported
Flowplayer can fallback to using a Flash Player instead.
You can also stream Flash Video (.flv) in a Flash Player, but this option
is increasingly unpopular as it is not widely supported by handheld
devices.
Adding one or more videos to your page
Videos are inserted in a player straight on the page. You can include a
single video, or add multiple videos to make your own playlist. Playlists
allow you to show visitors a sequence of videos one after the other
within one player.
To insert a single video or playlist:
1. From the Quick Build tab (Media category), click
Video
Player.
