Quickstart

Get a video uploaded and embedded on your site in five steps.

Steps

  1. Create an account. Sign up and sign in to the dashboard.
  2. Upload a video. In your library, click upload and choose a file. vdoX accepts mp4, mov, mkv, webm, and m4v files.
  3. Wait for it to reach Ready. The video's status pill shows its progress while it transcodes, then switches to Ready.
  4. Open the video. Click into it from your library to see the player and its details.
  5. Copy the embed snippet. The video page has a ready-made embed snippet under the player. Copy it and paste it into your site.

The embed snippet

Every Ready video's page shows a snippet like this one (with its own video id and your vdoX app URL filled in):

htmlHTML
<div data-vdox-player data-video-id="01ARZ3NDEKTSV4RRFFQ69G5FAV"></div>
<script src="https://app.vdox.example.com/embed.js" data-token-endpoint="https://yourapp.example.com/vdox-token"></script>

This drops in a player wherever the <div> lives. It still needs one thing from you: a token endpoint on your own backend that vdoX can hand a short-lived playback token to. See Embed for the full setup, including the token endpoint you need to write.

If you'd rather call the API directly instead of using the dashboard, start with Upload API.
