In this article, you'll get more insights on the different integration methods and their main differences.
Pick the right integration method for your project
Player Embed integration
The Player embed is the best integration method for all your desktop and web applications.
However, if you would like to integrate our player in a native application, we invite you to use our Android SDK and our Swift SDK.
| Embed script |
The player will load at the point where you add the script. This also provides access to the Player API. |
|---|---|
| Library Script |
Add just the library and create the player programmatically using the Player API |
| Iframe |
Embed the player without JavaScript to use a basic player configuration |
Dive into the integration methods
Embed Script
| Description |
The easiest way to have all the advanced features working out-of-the box. This one-liner script will let you control in real time the autostart behavior, the Picture-in-Picture, the player’s look and other features. Besides it will make the player JavaScript API available in your website for further customizations. |
|---|---|
| Recommendations |
The integration is easy, fast and doesn't require technical knowledge. As long as you know where you want the player to appear on the page - you can integrate it within few mouse clicks. Choose this option if you have a doubt on the integration method. |

Library Script
| Description |
This one line script will load our Player JavaScript library and make the Player API available in your environment without injecting the player in the page. The player will be initialized in a second time, allowing you to build custom and advanced workflows based on our player events, our player methods and all the parameters and settings exposed in our API. |
|---|---|
| Recommendations |
As this integration requires an advanced technical knowledge, we recommend you to use this integration if you have advanced player needs which can't be achieved through the Embed Script method. |
