Embedding the Video Player

Once the video has been generated for your article, you’ll need to update the player embed script to display the video. You can do this in a few different ways.

​
Copy the Video Embed Code

You can click the video icon next to your article to access the pre-generated video embed script, then copy it and include it in your site’s code at the location where you’d like the video to appear. Video2

​
Modify the Embed Script

You can manually update an existing or new script by adding the video: true parameter to the player embed code. 
<script async defer src="https://proxy.beyondwords.io/npm/@beyondwords/player@latest/dist/umd.js"
  onload="new BeyondWords.Player({
    target: this,
    projectId: <projectId>>,
    contentId: '<contentID>',
    video: true
  })">
</script>

Update WordPress Plugin Settings

If you’re using the WordPress plugin, you can change the player style either in the plugin settings or in the post edit screen in the BeyondWords Sidebar.
