Bring muse.ai technology to your own websites by using our embedded player and search.
Our standard embed codes work on Wordpress webpages. However, some Wordpress hosting services don't allow for custom scripts. To address these cases we also provide an option to embed your video in an iframe. You can toggle this option by checking the Use iframe checkbox in the embed modal.
The Squarespace free plan only allows for iframe embed codes, which you can get by checking the Use iframe checkbox in the embed modal. To use our standard embed codes, you will need to upgrade your Squarespace plan.
Clean yet powerful embedded video player you can customize to your needs.
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="https://muse.ai/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.
You can configure the following values:
data-video | Video ID. |
data-width | Player width. Can be provided as pixels (e.g. "560") or a relative value (e.g. "100%"). |
data-height | Player height. Can be provided as pixels (e.g. "560") or a relative value (e.g. "100%"). |
data-autoplay | Set to "1" to play the video automaticaly. |
data-loop | Set to "1" to restart the video after it finishes. |
data-start | The time at which the video should start playing. |
data-resume | Set to "1" to seek back to the last viewing position when the video loads. |
data-volume | Set volume to a value between 0 and 100. |
data-consent | Set to "1" to indicate the viewer has already given consent to view sensitive content. |
data-share | Set to "1" to show a share icon in the player. |
data-subtitles | Enable subtitles by default, set to "auto" to show automatically generated subtitles, or set to the name of uploaded subtitles. |
Embedding on Wordpress, Squarespace, or Wix pages? See Player integrations.
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:
<div id="your-container"></div>
<script src="https://muse.ai/static/js/embed-player.min.js"></script>
<script>
const player = MusePlayer({
container: '#your-container',
video: 'y8zH87z',
width: 400
});
</script>
Using the player object you can perform basic operations on
your video. For example, to pause the video, call player.pause().
MusePlayer parameters:container | HTML element that will contain the player. |
autoplay | Set to true to play the video automatically. |
loop | Set to true ro restart the video after it finishes. |
start | Time at which the video should start playing. |
resume | Set to true to seek back to the last viewing position when the video loads. |
volume | Set volume to a value between 0 and 100. |
width | Desired player width. Can be provided
as an integer (in pixels) or a relative value as a string (e.g.
'100%'). |
height | Desired player height. Can be provided
as an integer (in pixels) or a relative value as a string (e.g.
'100%'). |
title | Set to false to hide the title. |
search | Set to false to hide the search functionality. |
links | Set to false to disable links to muse.ai. |
sizing | Set to 'fill' to
indicate that the player should fill the entire container's size and
introduce black bars as necessary. Set to 'fit' to span
the parent container while maintaining the player's aspect ratio.
When using this value make sure that the container's parent has
explicit width and height that don't depend on the player. If sizing is
set, width and height will be ignored.
Default: null. |
logo | Set to false to hide branding on the player. |
style | Set to minimal for minimal player controls, and to no-controls to hide controls entirely. |
consent | Set to true to indicate the viewer has already given consent to view sensitive content. |
linkedData | Set to true to enable Linked Data markup to help search engines find your videos. |
share | Set to true to show a share icon in the player. |
subtitles | Enable subtitles by default, set to 'auto' to show automatically generated subtitles, or set to the name of uploaded subtitles. |
MusePlayer methods:play() | Play the video. |
pause() | Pause the video. |
seek(time) | Skip to the specified time. |
on(event, listener) | Set up a function that will be called when the specified event happens. |
off(event, listener) | Remove a previously set up event listener. |
setVideo(video) | Load the video into the player from the given video ID. |
setVolume(volume) | Set volume to a value between 0 and 100. |
MusePlayer events:play | Video is playing. |
pause | Video is paused. |
ended | Video has ended. |
metadata | Player metadata (such as title, description, width, and height) is ready. The metadata object will be passed to the listener as the first argument. |
timeupdate | Event fired when the current time of the player changes. The current time will be passed to the listener as the first argument. |
For example:
player.on('metadata', metadata => {
document.getElementById('video-title').innerText = metadata.title;
document.getElementById('video-description').innerText = metadata.description;
});
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.
A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not check out some of our demos first:
Conference videos University lectures
You can add video search capabilities using our JavaScript library.
First, load the necessary libraries:
<script src="https://muse.ai/static/js/embed-search.min.js"></script>
Then, declare the search as well as the video grid containers.
<div id="muse-search"></div> <div id="muse-videos-grid"></div>
Finally, initialize a MuseCollection object by telling it about your website layout.
<script>
MuseCollection({
collection: 'TmB8Lt7',
containerInput: '#muse-search',
containerResults: '#muse-videos-grid'
});
</script>
MuseCollection parameters:collection*
stringCollection ID of the video collection you want to embed. You can find it in the URL of a collection.
containerResults*
stringSelector for the video grid container. This also shows search results.
containerInput
stringSelector for the search container.
containerPlayer
stringOptional player selector for where the 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.
Ignored when player parameter is provided.
playerOptions
objectPlayer options to be applied when using the default player.
Ignored when player parameter is provided.
player
MusePlayerWhen provided, instead of using the default player, use this player to play collection's videos.
sort
stringVideo order. Some possible values: uploaded (time
when video was uploaded), added (time when video was
added to collection), views (number of views).
Prepend - to indicate descending order. Default:
-uploaded.
toolbar
boolSet this to false to hide the toolbar with search result summary and search result volume control.
defaultInputStyle
boolSet this to false to not apply the default search field styling. You will need to style it yourself.
defaultResultsStyle
boolSet this to false to not apply the default search result styling. You will need to style it yourself (this might involve some work).

MuseCollection methods:setCollection(collection)setCollection (collection) | Load the collection specified by the ID. |
on(event, listener) | Set up a function that will be called when the specified event happens. |
off(event, listener) | Remove a previously set up event listener. |
