How do I embed a video?

You can embed your videos on your blog, web site or any other page. To embed a video, do the following:

1. Go to the video play page (the page on which you see the video player) and look for the embed code in the "Sharing" pod.
2. Copy the embed code from the embed code field. Alternatively, if you'd like to customize your embed code, click "customize this embed code." You'll be able to change the player size, video quality (sd/hd), select whether you'd like the video to autoplay, change the colors of the player and many other options.
3. Paste the embed code into code of your web page. If you're using a blogging site like blogger (blogspot) or wordpress, paste the embed code into the post editor.
4. Save or publish your page and you should see the video embedded on your site.

If you're using Wordpress, you'll want to use the following plugin to allow wordpress to accept iframes as part of post content:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/iframe/

Activate the plugin and then use wordpress's shortcode feature to insert your video. You should grab all of the parameters for your shortcode embed from the SproutVideo embed code. So, if a SproutVideo embed code looks like this:

<iframe class='sproutvideo-player' type='text/html' src='http://videos.sproutvideo.com/embed/2898d2bb141ce2c990/2a3ed5a6d9baecd1?type=sd' width='630' height='352' frameborder='0'></iframe>

Your short code should look like this:

[iframe src="http://videos.sproutvideo.com/embed/2898d2bb141ce2c990/2a3ed5a6d9baecd1?type=sd" width="630" height="352" frameborder="0"]

Notice that the video source url is from the embed code and is NOT the url of the video on the SproutVideo site. Also notice the how the height and width have been copied over.
