Choosing a Default Player

Introduction

This feature allows you to set a default player, which is selected by default whenever you publish a video. Setting up a default player ensures this player is prioritised every time a video is published.

Set up the default player

To set up your default player, follow these steps:

1. Log in to Video Cloud.
2. Open the Admin module from the primary navigation.
3. In the Admin sidebar, under Distribution, click Player Settings.
4. Locate the Default Player section. Select the player you want to be displayed at the top of the players list when publishing a video, then click Save.

Default player when publishing

Once configured, your default player is preselected whenever you publish a video. The default player is also marked with a Star in the Players module.

Deleting a default player

When you try to delete a player that is currently set as the default, an alert is displayed. To delete that player, select a different Default Player and try again.
