Embed code explained



If you just want to show the player in a website or portal, you most likely don't need to tweak any of the settings but if you require changes, below is the explanation of what each property does.

The code is in the format:

<iframe style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; " src="https://secure.vormats.com/engage/{videoId}?embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>


style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;" - Defines the size and position of the player where you are adding the video, the default values consider that you want to show it as big as possible considering the available space in the website you are trying to show it.

src="https://secure.vormats.com/engage/{videoId}?embedded" - Defines the video you want to show, it's important to include the ?embedded parameter to function correctly

frameborder="0" - Hides the default border of an iframe

allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" - Allows the user to set the video player in fullscreen
