In this article, you'll learn about the various tools and features Ezoic Video offers to seamlessly integrate videos into your website. We'll walk you through the simple steps of using the Auto Insert Function, linking your YouTube account, and embedding videos directly from Ezoic Video.
Auto Insert Function:
By default, Ezoic videos will be auto-inserted onto your website, allowing videos to be added seamlessly. Any pages without a manually inserted video player will utilize the auto-insert options. For optimal revenue performance, we always recommend leaving Auto Insert enabled.
To make sure that Auto Insert is enabled:
Head to Ezoic Video
Click on the ‘Player Settings’ tab and then ‘Settings’
Make sure ‘Automatically Insert Player’ is toggled ON
Replace Existing YouTube Videos:
Go to the Customize Channel tab on your dashboard.
Next click YouTube Settings and hit "Link New Channel."
Authorize Analytics to track video performance.
Toggle on Replace Embedded YouTube Videos to replace your YouTube videos with Ezoic video players.
WARNING: Ensure you have imported all your videos you wish to replace with Ezoic videos as the replace feature only works for videos imported into Ezoic.
Embedding a standard Ezoic video player:
Choose the Embed Video option on the Overview tab of your Ezoic Video dashboard.
Copy and paste the provided embed code directly onto your site. Alternatively, use the video plugin if you are using WordPress as your CMS to add the embed script via the Plugin.
NOTE: the standard embed code respects the Video Content Settings you have enabled.
Embedding specific videos:
Head to the My Videos of your dashboard
Hover over specific videos and click the < > icon, which allows you to copy the specific video embed code
Copy and paste the provided embed code directly onto your site. Alternatively, use the Ezoic Video plugin if you are using WordPress as your CMS to add the embed script via the Plugin.
NOTE: To use this option you will need to firstly add videos to Ezoic Video, which you can do by adding videos from the Overview tab or importing from YouTube.
JS Snippet (standalone integration only):
NOTE: the standard embed code respects the Video Content Settings you have enabled.
If you encounter issues while using video tools, here are some common problems and their solutions:
Problem: Videos are not appearing on my website.
Solution: Ensure that the Auto Insert Function is enabled. Check your float settings and location preferences under the Video Content Settings. Also, confirm that you have selected either your videos, 3rd party videos from the Video Network, or a combination of both.
Problem: YouTube videos are not linking properly.
Solution: Navigate to the Channel tab on your Ezoic Video dashboard. Make sure you have linked your YouTube account and authorized analytics. Verify that you have enabled the setting to replace embedded YouTube videos with native video players and that you have imported the videos from YouTube which you’re wishing to replace.
Problem: Unable to upload videos directly to Ezoic Videos.
Solution: Go to the Overview tab and check the available options. If the issue persists, try uploading videos via the Studio tab which provides additional options and a comprehensive view of your uploaded content.
Problem: Embedded videos not matching the desired criteria.
Solution: Review your video content settings settings to ensure you have selected the correct option. Verify whether you want to embed “My videos and network videos (most recommended), network videos, or my video only.” Also, confirm that the videos are matched by page category or content category.
Problem: Difficulty in generating the embed code.
Solution: Ensure you have followed the process correctly to get to the page where the embed code is generated. If you are using WordPress as your CMS, consider using the Ezoic Video plugin for easier integration.
