The Web is
all about communication.
Whether you're designing a site for
a client or sharing a video clip on
your LiveJournal, sooner or later
you would want to include streaming
video on a web page. |
|
| |
| |
With
Video Desk, it's easy to
embed video in any web page.
The process is very simple: Video
Desk creates the necessary code for
you. All you have to do is
copy it into your page. Your
web site can remain with your
existing provider while the Video
Desk service delivers your streaming
video. |
| |
| |
For this article, we'll assume that
you have already created your video
clip and uploaded it to Video Desk
using the
Media Manager.
We'll embed the video into a blog
using Google's Blogger service.
The same techniques will work with
any kind of web page, as long as you
can add code to the page's HTML.
In the case of Blogger, I click on
the Edit HTML tab. |

Once you log into your Video
Desk account, click on
Webmaster Tools.
There are several choices
available. To embed a
clip, click on the Embed
Code
link. On the Embed Code
page, click the
Browse
link to select a file to stream.
You can select from a list of
all the streaming media files
stored in your account.
Just select the "bubble" (radio
button) next to the clip you'd
like to stream and click the
Select
button. |
| |
|
| |
The other selections on this
page are optional. You can
choose to stream the video at a
size other than its original
dimensions, either 320x240 or
160x120 pixels. By
default, the embedded clip will
Auto-play
as soon as the page is loaded,
but you can choose to keep it
stopped until the Viewer
clicks Play button.
(This is a good choice if the
user has to read some
introductory material before
seeing the video.) |

When you click the
Generate Code
button, Video Desk supplies you
with the HTML you need to create
the embedded video. |

Now, just copy that code and
paste it into your web page: |

And the blog entry will end up
looking like this: |

The entire process consists of
only five steps: |
| |
| |
1. |
Go to
Webmaster Tools and then Embed Code. |
| |
2. |
Pick the
file to embed. |
| |
3. |
Choose
playback options. |
| |
4. |
Generate
the code. |
| |
5. |
Copy the
code into your web page. |
|
| |
|
| |
It's that
simple. In fact, the html code
that Video Desk creates for you is
fully editable and enables you to
create a customized page for your
site, in which your video will be
displayed. You may design this
page to look like the rest of the
pages in your website. With
this unified look and smooth
integration, no one viewing your
site will think of the video as
coming from anywhere else.
Visitors will see a single,
smoothly-working web site. |
| |
|
| |
Using
Video Desk, you can easily include
your video clips in any web page
(including blogs, MySpace pages,
Live Journals, and any other page
displayed on the Web).
