Embeddable Players

Players using the Silverlight - Picture-in-Picture and Silverlight - Video Only layouts are intended to be used as embedded players.

Embedded players have the following properties:

  • They always stretch to fit the size of the window.
  • Embedded players have a Pop Out button that when clicked launches the presentation in a new window using the full screen Player layout. Typically, embedded players will occupy a smaller on-screen footprint on the web page in which it is embedded. This affects the clarity of presentation playback so being able to watch a presentation in a full screen view is helpful. However, in full-screen mode keyboard commands are limited and the pop-out (tear-off) mode provides an alternative to the full screen playback.
  • A presentation using an embedded Player layout should always be watched in the page where it is embedded. Using the presentation link to watch the presentation will significantly affect the playback experience because the presentation will try to stretch to fit the window.
  • The share presentation button is not displayed for embedded players since they will be embedded in a web page and direct links to the presentations using embedded players are not recommended.

Embed code
The embed code for a presentation using an embedded Silverlight Player is as follows:

<div style="text-align:center;"> <iframe src="http://mymediasiteserver/mymediasite/Viewer/?peid=some presentation_id" frameborder="0" width="400" scrolling="no" height="224"></iframe> </div>

Notes:

  • You can modify the width and height settings to whatever makes sense for the page into which you are embedding the presentation.
  • You need to adjust the URL to match your server (indicated as “mymediasiteserver”), Mediasite virtual directory (indicated as mymediasite) and presentation id (indicated as “presentation_id”).
