I don’t want others to embed my video
-
I embeded my demo reel video on my site but there is a code at the top that allows others to embed the video in their sites too. I don’t want to share this video on other sites. Is there any way to disable the link to or embed options?
Thanks very much!

Yes, I purchased the upgrade so I uploaded the video to my media library.

I don’t see any setting in the video player which allows the embed to be turned off. However, that is a great suggestion (especially since I’m aware that YouTube offers such a feature) and I hope the folks here implement it.
-
But if it were unembeddable, the blogger would not be able to put it in their blog. They’d be able to upload it and link to it, but not post the video. I don’t know of a single video service that allows video to be embedded in one blog only.
-
There currently is not an option to turn off the embed stuff. We’ll add something in a future release.

But by looking at the page source it would still be possible to take the code and put it in another wordpress blog, unless such a block is implemented.
And yes Raincoaster many sites don’t allow access to videos, although maybe not blogs.

No, I don’t think you understand what I meant. Youtube offers teh option to make videos unembeddable, but YouTube is a video hosting site, not a blog network. If the video IS embeddable, it’s embeddable anywhere as long as you can get the code. I don’t know a site that will only allow you to embed it in one specific blog, and that’s all that’s relevant to WP.com, since in a choice between offering video service and enabling blogging, WP.com will always come down on the side of blogging.

Yes I did not understand, now I do.
It is a worry for an original work, MP3 or Video, to think anyone can take them.

I just noticed the new video setup the other day. I wish staff had given just a little bit of description about it. For example, what is the HD thingee in the upper right hand corner?? Also, I suddenly cannot upload .mov videos properly, the sound gets all screwed up, so I have to convert .mov videos to Mp4 for the sound to play in sync.
-
The HD thingee is, apparently, for videos uploaded in HD (Vimeo has the same kind of setup)
-
where did the “HD thingy” go?
it was there yesterday but today its lost
Dont like these things that just pops up without any info from the staff of WP
Dont like all these new options that shows up on my videos, the design of the whole page is now ugly, if anyone knows what I mean? I want my video windows to be clean and simple, not all these info about embedding and stuff.
I should be able to make a choice if I want these options to show or not. -
Thanks for implementing that into a future release if possible. Please let me clarify. I did not embed this video from another source. I uploaded the video to my media library and put it in a post on my blog. I simply don’t want others to copy the embed code and put it on their site or blog. So I am not using a video service to embed in my blog. As a member stated above. I think that is a different issue.
Thanks,

Oh yeah, one more thing. Can you make it possible to choose the poster frame that represents the uploaded video? It seems to be chosen randomly.
-
Uh, no, that is exactly the same issue: embedding a video in a blog, regardless of who the video host is. I doubt WP.com is ever going to put in security features that will enable you to embed it in one specific blog only; they’re just more blog oriented rather than video oriented. The actual function here is embedding in a blog. You might see restrictions and refinements that at a video site like revver, etc, although they have a vested interest in keeping you on their own site instead of enabling embeds.

I agree that WP need to make it optional to turn off the embedding function. Why else would we pay for the space upgrade to upload video when we can use youtube or vimeo just as easily with more options. I paid for the space upgrade because I was trying to get away from the look of youtube and the ability for people to take the videos. So much for the $20 fee. It’s just WP’s version of youtube. Please consider make more options for the video upload and look on the screen.

But if they turn off the embed function, you won’t be able to put the video on your blog.
