Embed our technology on your website

Bring muse.ai technology to your own websites by using our embedded player and search.

Embedded Player

Clean and powerful video player with in-video search.

Embedded Search

Let your app or website vistors navigate your video collections.

Embedded Player

Clean yet powerful embedded video player you can customize to your needs.

Demo

Simple usage

To embed our player on your website you only need two lines of code:

<div class="muse-video-player" data-video="y8zH87z" data-width="600"></div>
<script src="/static/js/embed-player.min.js"></script>

Simply set the data-video value to your video id, which you can find in the address bar of your video on muse.ai.

If you have more than one video on your page, you only need to include the <script> tag once. It's also a good practice to place it in the <head> section or at the bottom of the <body> section.

You can configure the player size by setting the data-width or data-height attributes. If neither of them is set the player will default to 640x360.

Advanced usage

If you want more control over the player and its interactions with your website, you can use the JavaScript library. This allows you to programmatically create the player and access more of its functions.

To use the JavaScript library you will first of all need to include the following embedded player script (see "Simple usage"). Then, creating an instance of a player is easy: 

const player = MusePlayer({
    container: document.getElementById('your-container'),
    video: 'y8zH87z',
    width: 400
});

Using the player object you can perform basic operations on your video. For example, to pause the video, call player.pause(), and to play call player.play().

Here are the parameters you can customize:

containerHTML element that will contain the player.
widthDesired video width.
heightDesired video height.
fillSet to true to indicate that the player should automatically adapt to the container's size. If this value is set to true, width and height will be ignored.

Embedded Search

With muse.ai embedded video search, you can bring our state-of-the-art video search to any website. Allow your users to navigate your video collection, easily find their topics of interest and get insights that would otherwise take hours or days to discover.

Demos

A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not check out some of our demos first:

Conference videos University lectures

Using embedded search on your page

You can add video search capabilities using our JavaScript library.

First, load the library:

      <script src="/static/js/embed-search.min.js"></script>

Then, initialize a MuseSearch object by telling it about your website layout.

<script>
    MuseSearch({
        collection: 'TmB8Lt7',
        containerInput: '#your-input-field',
        containerResults: '#your-result-box'
    });
</script>

Configuring embedded search

You can configure the following options:

collection*file

Collection ID of the video collection you want to embed. You can find it in the URL of a collection.

containerInput*string

CSS selector for an input field where users will type their queries.

containerResults*string

CSS selector for an element that will contain search results.

containerPlayerstring

Optional CSS selector where a video will appear after user clicks one of the search results. If this value is not provided, clicking a result will display the video in a lightbox.

defaultInputStylebool

Set this to false to not apply the default search field styling. You will need to style it yourself.

defaultResultsStylebool

Set this to false to not apply the default search result styling. You will need to style it yourself (this might involve some work).
