Sometimes we require adding video content to our SharePoint site. There is a very simple way to achieve this functionality.
All we need is Content editor web part to be placed on the page. Source of video file can be from same web application or it can be external source as well or video sitting on some shared drive of your network which everybody has an access.
Go ahead and add content editor web part.
Add following line of code.
<Embed
src="{URL of video / Shared Path pointing to video file}"
width=350
height=350
align=center
autostart=false
loop=false
quality=high
allowFullScreen=true>
</Embed>
See the output below.
And that’s it. You are good to play your video file.

i'm having trouble getting this to work. i think its the details of the link address that are messing it up. Can you provide any more details about how to get the link to work...is there a way to browse to the content?
Wow, that seems like a nice update for embedding a video!

david, not getting your problem can you please elaborate?
Doesn't seem to work in SharePoint 2010 - the code all gets stripped out.

we had not tried this on 2010 :(
I am entirely new to this but what do you mean by "Shared Path pointing to video file"?
it means full file path from sharepoint
like

I couldn't get this to work. I have the video on a file share on the sharepoint application server. I am using SharePoint 2007 SP2.
Here is what i put in the content Editor web part.
renea, try to upload video in sharepoint then it should work.
if its on file share it might not work. the reason might be the client PC cannot request video file through browser.
if you have to use file system then try to copy video in a folder in layouts and refer it from your site _layouts/... then it could work
Hi, sorry for asking. where should i put this code? Thanks
you have to put this code to embed video in SharePoint as mentioned in article
Awesome! u r indeed sharepoint king
Hey good approach..but it doesn't work in sharepoint 2010..can y please help...
its just browser property/plug-in that we set so it should work in 2010 as well.
PLACE the code in a content edito webpart to stop the code being stripped out - remove the chrome to make the video stand alone.
95% awesome, is there a way to change the layer? the Webpart edit menu disapears behind the video.
95% awesome, is there a way to change the layer order? The Webpart drop down menu is behind the video and you can't see the options
Hi! this seems like an awesome post solution to post videos. However, I have a few questions for you.. would be amazing if you could help me understand them:
1. What video formats are accepted to embed? Is *.mp4 allowed?
2. How do I embed more than one video in a single page?
3. With the mentioned code from your article, I only get an empty space for the video to be placed but there is nothing else.. it is just plain.
Thank you in advance! :)
