Allow sharing of a VOD/AOD media
This guide explains how to integrate a button overlay on the video player VOD/AOD that serves to broadcast your video, on which the viewer can click to easily share the video link (or embed the video itself) on social networks like Facebook or X (formerly Twitter).
Add a Share Link
To access the VOD space:
- log in to the Infomaniak Manager (manager.infomaniak.com) from a web browser like Brave or Edge
- click on the icon in the top right corner of the interface (or navigate through the left side menu)
- select VOD/AOD (Streaming universe)
- click on the name of the relevant object in the displayed table
- click on Players in the left side menu
- click on the relevant object in the displayed table
- click on the Share Options tab
Enable one or both of the shares with the desired settings to see a share icon on the video player for the user.
Facebook
Allows specifying a URL that will be automatically completed by 2 parameters: "folder" and "file" allowing the owner of the video to know that the visitor who arrives on his site comes from Facebook and that he clicked on such video. If he uses the VOD API, he will be able to easily make the connection and display only the desired video e.g. on a specific page depending on each video source.
X (formerly Twitter)
Allows specifying the URL of a site, which will be automatically completed by 2 parameters to identify the video after redirection (folder=ID_FOLDER&file=ID_FILE)
