Embedding a Single Video Player in WordPress

Embedding your Video Cloud player into a WordPress document can be accomplished following a few simple steps.

Clarification: Processes in this article apply to embedding a Video Cloud video in a WordPress blog page hosted on WordPress.com, not for embedding a Video Cloud video in the WordPress.org full installation for hosting your own Web site. Also, Video Cloud supports embedding videos in WordPress blogs for single video players only, created from player templates, and is not supported for custom players.

In WordPress, you can use an embed code with the following format:

[brightcove vid=01234&exp3=56789&surl=http://c.brightcove.com/services&pubid=0987&pk=AQ%2E,AA6piFs%2E,wGgA-paaPK&w=468&h=412]   

Where:

vid = Video Cloud video ID # (you can find this in the Media module)
exp3 = Video Cloud player ID # (you can find this in the Publishing module)
pubid = Publisher ID for your Video Cloud account (you can find this on the Video Cloud Studio Account Info: Profile page)

pk = Player Key for your Video Cloud Player (this can be found within the JavaScript Publishing code snippet for your Player)
w = player width, in pixels
h = player height, in pixels

Note:  Be sure the ampersands in the code appear as & or the solution will not work.

This method currently works with single video players, but not with playlist players.
