Embedding into SharePoint

SharePoint is a web-based collaborative platform primarily used for building corporate intranets, document and content management, and file sharing. You can easily embed your Viostream videos into your SharePoint pages to enhance communications with your employees and other stakeholders.

2. Click the Site contents link in the top menu.
3. Click the Site settings link in the top right sub-menu.
4. Click the HTML Field Security link in the Site Settings list.

   1. (recommended) Select the Allow contributors to insert iframes only from the following domains option and add viostream.com to the list of allowed domains.
   2. (less secure) Select the Allow contributors to insert iframes from any domain option.
6. Click OK

tip

You will need to enable viostream.com embeds for every site where you will embed videos - this setting is not available organisation-wide.

If you reupload the video with a changed aspect ratio, you will need to update the embed code in SharePoint.
