Insert $HostedVideo in your template, wherever you want your video to show.

video sources

By default all three video sources are enabled. You can disable any of them using the following config options:

HostedVideoExtension:
  disable_selfhosted: true
  disable_vimeo: true
  disable_youtube: true

video resolutions

By default there are two video resultions configured for self hosted videos:

HostedVideoExtension:
  resolutions:
    SD: 480
    HD: 720

You can change these settings and add more resultions if you would like to give the user more options.

You can specify the display size of the videos in your yml config:

HostedVideoExtension:
  display_size:
    width: 560
    height: 315

The default CSS treats all videos as having a 16:9 ratio (56.25% height).

formats and media types

You can specify the media types allowed for your self hosted videos in the yml config:

HostedVideoExtension:
  formats:
    mp4:
      type: 'video/mp4'
      label: 'MP4 (H.264 with AAC or MP3 audio)'
    webm:
      type: 'video/webm'
      label: 'WebM (VP8/VP9 with Vorbis or Opus audio)'
    ogg:
      type: 'video/ogg'
