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 locally stored videos, uploaded videos
on your web space 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. On older browsers, where HTML5 is not supported, Flowplayer
can fallback to using a Flash Player instead.
To insert a single video or playlist:
1. From the Quick Build tab (Media category), click
Video
Player.
2. Position the
cursor where you want the video player to
appear on the page, then simply click the mouse.
3. Choose the format for your video player:
• Use HTML5 and MP4 video
HTML5 offers the best compatibility playback with no
browser plug-in or media playing software required.
