Embedding Videos to Microsoft SharePoint

Introduction

Microsoft Sharepoint is the largest and most used knowledge sharing environment for organizations and teams.

Icareus videocloud can be used also for managing and publishing videos on SharePoint.

The advantages of using Icareus videocloud are e.g.:

There are two steps that needs to be done when embedding videos from Icareus Suite to SharePoint:

To embed videos to your SharePoint pages, the SharePoint page owner must allow embedding the videos from Icareus Suite web address.

If that is not done, you will get the following notification when embedding the videos:

These instructions can be checked also from Microsoft pages:

However, you can do it by selecting "Site contents" under the specific SharePoint page:

Then on the Site contents page selecting "Site settings" on top right corner:

It will then open the list of the Settings (if you are Page Owner / admin user) and from there you need to select "HTML Field Security" link:

It will open the list web sites from where you can embed content to your Microsoft SharePoint page:

Write "suite.icareus.com" to form and push "Add". Then it will be added to the bottom of the list:

Push OK and it is done.

In order to embed the video, you push "Edit" button to edit the page. Then you can add a new section and there you need to a "</>" Embed element:

After that you can see the embed element on your page and it will open Embed settings on right:

Open your MyIcareus account, go to Assets and select the video, which you want to embed.

Click "burger" -menu:

And select "Embed", it will open a embed pop-up:

If you want to use some other video player than default video player, you can select the player from drop down menu.

Otherwise highlight & copy the iframe part of the embed code:

And paste it to the SharePoint box:

NOTICE that SharePoint expects receiving only iframe code, so you must not put the <div> part to the SharePoint form. E.g.

Full Embed code on Icareus Suite with <div>:

The part you need to copy to SharePoint:

<iframe style='position:absolute;top:0;bottom:0;left:0;right:0;width:100%;height:100%;' allowfullscreen='true' allow='autoplay' scrolling='no' src="https://suite.icareus.com/web/ovp-demo/player/embed/vod?assetId=87930611"></iframe>

Then the video loads to the page:

Then you just publish / republish the page:

And it is done.
