Embed On Demand lets organizations and municipalities create embed codes for recordings stored in CivicPlus Media. Those embed codes can be used to display an on-demand media player on a webpage, such as your website’s Welcome page.
Embed On Demand codes use default media player settings, including media autoplay. As a result, you may need to update the generated embed code if you want the media to play differently.
This article will explain how to create an embed code for media recordings. For instructions on how to use the embed live stream function, see Generate an Embed Code for a CivicPlus Media Live Stream.
Important Notes
You must have the “Has Access to Events Site Settings” permission enabled in your user profile in order to use the Embed On Demand function.
