You can style the muse.ai player in order to match your website, logo or outfit!
We offer some styling options when generating the embed code, but you can also use CSS to get creative. To do so, you will need to:
data-css attribute with your CSS to the player <div>. E.g.:<div data-css="your_css_here" data-video="y8zH87z" class="muse-video-player"></div> <script src="https://muse.ai/static/js/embed-player.min.js"></script>
css parameter to the iframe URL. E.g.:
<iframe src="https://muse.ai/embed/y8zH87z?css=your_css_here"
width="576" height="324" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
css parameter. E.g.:
MusePlayer({css: 'your_css_here' container: '#video-player', video: 'sLFaX4p'});
Below are some examples you can try out. To edit them live, click on the "Edit in JSFiddle" button to expand the examples.
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:
STANDARD
<div class="muse-video-player" data-video="y8zH87z" data-width="600"></div>
<script src="https://muse.ai/static/js/embed-player.min.js"></script>
IFRAME
<iframe src="https://muse.ai/embed/y8zH87z?start=20&volume=75"
width="576" height="324" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
For the STANDARD method, 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. Set to "visible" to play when video enters the viewport. |
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. To show the auto-translated subtitles by default, use Chinese, French, German, Portuguese, or Spanish. |
data-shortcuts | Set to "0" to disable keyboard shortcuts. |
data-download | Set to "1" to enable downloads. |
data-controls |
Enable or disable player controls. A comma-separated list of controls
prepended with plus or minus signs. E.g. "-fullscreen,+subtitles"
will show a subtitle toggle and hide the fullscreen toggle. Includes fullscreen, subtitles, volume, settings, chromecast, and airplay.
|
data-playlist | Either a collection ID or a comma-separated list of video IDs to play in a sequence. |
data-ld | Set to "0" to disable Linked Data markup. Enabled by default. This helps with SEO by hinting search engines to also display this page in the video category. |
data-ad | Include VAST / VPAID / VMAP tags to show your own ads. |
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. Set to 'visible' to play when video enters the viewport. |
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. Set
to 'cover' to span the parent container disregarding the
player's aspect ratio. When using these values 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 false to
disable Linked Data markup. Enabled by default. This helps with SEO by
hinting search engines to also display this page in the video category. |
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. To show the auto-translated subtitles by default, use Chinese, French, German, Portuguese, or Spanish. |
shortcuts | Set to false to disable keyboard shortcuts. |
download | Set to true to enable downloads. |
controls |
Enable or disable player controls. A list of control names
prepended with plus or minus signs. E.g. ["-fullscreen", "+subtitles"]
will show a subtitle toggle and hide the fullscreen toggle. An example that uses all available options: ["-fullscreen", "+subtitles", "-volume", "-settings", "-chromecast", "-airplay"].

});
You can also embed video metadata such as description, transcript, and detected text that appears in the video straight into your website. This is especially useful for rendering full embedded video pages in your websites, and an unparalleled way to do search engine optimization for your videos. Here's the code that you'll need:
<div class="muse-video-data" data-video="FTBViRx" data-content="description"></div> <script src="https://muse.ai/static/js/embed-player.min.js"></script>
Note that you can skip the <script> line if you already have it elsewhere on that page.
data-content values:description | Video description. |
speech | Video transcript. |
objects | A list of detected objects that appear in the video. |
scenes | A list of distinct scenes in the video. |

<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>

collection: 'TmB8Lt7',
containerInput: '#muse-search',
containerResults: '#muse-videos-grid'
});
</script>
