Using YouTube or Vimeo video links
You can use any YouTube or Vimeo link, as long as the owner of the video has enabled the setting for the video embed link. You can then take this embed link and paste it into the video element option in our editor.
Maglr retrieves video information (thumbnails, etc.) in order to place the video in your publication. For private video's this information is locked, making it impossible for us to retrieve it. Be sure to place publicly available or unlisted/hidden videos in your Maglr publications, as private videos can never be used in Maglr publications.
In case of Vimeo, additional (privacy) settings can be configured, which could have an influence on how your video is displayed in your Maglr publications. Please click here to view Vimeo's additional privacy settings and their consequences.
There are several guidelines to keep in mind when using YouTube or Vimeo links for your publication. Please make sure you follow these guidelines to avoid any form of troubleshooting.
YouTube (and Vimeo) has fairly strict but fair guidelines when it comes to uploading videos. You can read more on their website, but we will list things that are not allowed on YouTube and Vimeo:
