Videojs plugin allows you to add a video file anywhere within WordPress using the Videojs HTML5 player. You can embed a video into a post, page or text widget using a shortcode. The player is fully responsive and your videos will be playable on a desktop, tablet or mobile device.
Videojs is an advanced player framework that supports embedding a video with HTML5 video tags. Currently, the Videojs project is largely sponsored by Brightcove and this plugin makes this amazing player available for use in WordPress.

Usage
In order to embed a video insert the following shortcode into a post/page.
[videojs_video url="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/video/vid.mp4"]
You need to specify the location of a MP4 video file in the url parameter (H.264 encoded). This parameter is mandatory in order to embed a video using this plugin.
Video Demo
Video Shortcode Options
Videojs plugin accepts a wide range of shortcode parameters that you can use to customize the video playback and controls.
WebM
“webm” parameter allows you to specify the location of a webm video file. For example:
[videojs_video url="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/video/vid.mp4" webm="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/video/vid.webm"]
Ogv
“ogv” parameter allows you to specify the location of a ogv video file. For example:
[videojs_video url="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/video/vid.mp4" webm="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/video/vid.webm" ogv="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/video/vid.ogv"]
Width
“width” parameter allows you to set the width of the video. For example:
[videojs_video url="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/video/vid.mp4" width="480"]
Controls
“controls” parameter allows you to show/hide video controls. By default video controls will be displayed. If set to “false” controls will be disabled. For example:
[videojs_video url="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/video/vid.mp4" controls="false"]
Preload
“preload” parameter allows you to specify if and how a video should be loaded when the page loads.
- “auto” – the video should be loaded entirely when the page loads (default)
- “metadata” – only metadata should be loaded when the page loads
- “none” – the video should not be loaded when the page loads
For example:
[videojs_video url="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/video/vid.mp4" preload="metadata"]
Autoplay
“autoplay” parameter allows you to automatically play the video when the page is rendered. For example:
[videojs_video url="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/video/vid.mp4" autoplay="true"]
Poster
“poster” parameter allows you to set a poster image for the video. For example:
[videojs_video url="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/video/vid.mp4" poster="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/poster.jpg"]
Loop
“loop” parameter allows for the looping of the video file (The video will start over again, every time it is finished). For example:
[videojs_video url="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/video/vid.mp4" loop="true"]
Muted
“muted” parameter allows you to mute the audio output of the video. For example:
[videojs_video url="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/video/vid.mp4" muted="true"]Disclosure: This page may contain affiliate links.

how to add subletitles?
@greg, This feature is not available yet.
Hello,
Does the plugin support flv files ?
I tried to use it with a flv video but the vid never runs…
@Manu, The plugin supports MP4 video which can be played on mobile devices. flv or flash is not supported at the moment.
Is there a way to make the player invisible so that you do not see the control bar and only see the video by itself?
@Michael, I have just added this feature. Please update the plugin and use the controls parameter in the shortcode.
Thank you! Works like a charm.
The wordpress plugin documentation has the option to mute: muted=”true”. This does not work.
I just decided to add the muted option myself. It was pretty easy, thumbs up for clean structure code. Please add this option so that I won’t lose it with the next update.
@Tara, I will try to add this option soon.
Hi thanks for a great plugin! wonder how to add loop option? thanks!
@Mick, This option is not available yet. I can add it tomorrow and release an update. Would you mind giving it a rating here?
@Mick, “loop” option is now available in the plugin.
Your plugin is great , but i really need it work with FLV files, please update and allow this format please please please
@luis, Unfortunately it doesn’t support flv at the moment.
Thanks for the plugin!
I was just wondering if there a code that we can use to play the video using an external button, a video.js api?
@Peter, I’m not sure if videojs has any API to open the video from a button.
Hi,
works fine for me – thx!
One thing I´m missing is the ‘aspect-ratio’. Any chance to see this included soon?
Here I´m playing the same video with the flowplayer and videojs player – prefering the videojs:
http://www.mobile-addicted.com/kunden/demovideo-post-wm/Another ‘Killer-Feature’ and maybe something outstanding would be a chance to set a border image ontop and the placement position of the video inside. Think of an mobile phone is shown ontop of the video.
Thx / Sascha
@Sascha, videojs uses plain HTML5 to embed a video. So It may not be possible to force a ratio. However, the video will scale based on its original ratio.
So it has to be 16:9 and other formats don´t fit – as You can see in my demolink!?
The Video has a resolution of 400×630.
@Sascha, I will look into it. In the meantime, feel free to try the video embed feature of WordPress.
https://wphowto.net/how-to-embed-video-in-wordpress-861
This is cool plugin, Is it possible to get options HD, nonHD and Playlist with this plugin.
Thanks,
Tamil.
@Tamil, Unfortunately there is no option to do this at the moment.
Hello. Thank you for this great player. I’ve got a question: how can I get statistic of views from each videos?
Can I hire you for a minor customization of this player?
I can’t get video to loop – do I need to adjust some settings for the video file?
@Joon, Please provide the following info so I can take a look,
1) Link to the page in question.
2) Shortcode that you are using to embed the video.
mp4 not autoplaying on android mobile devices, is there a solution?
thanks in advance
@jennifer, It’s just not android. Autoplay feature is disabled on iOS devices as well. They designed it this way so a user doesn’t lose unnecessary bandwidth while browsing from a mobile device (the user will decide when they want to play a video).
Are there plans to integrate VideoJS 5.0 to this plugin?
@Dan, I have just updated the library to 5.0 in the plugin.
width of the embeded video is different in each browser. when using Chrome my video is small and even though I add width syntax my video still small, when using UCBrowser its using full available space so my video got proper size, when using Edge , its just half size.
is it browser problem? or this plugin need update again?
@Rendy, Please provide the following info so I can take a look,
1) The exact shortcode that you are using
2) A link to page with the video in it
Support for video in multiple formats would be really useful (mp4, webm, ogg). If the url parameter accepts a list of (space spearated) urls it would stay backwards compatible.
Mozilla Firefox does not play well with mp4 videos due to the fact it’s not a royalty free format.
@giro, I have just released an update which will allow you to specify a webm video file in the shortcode.
Hello naa986,
big thank for releasing the update instantly.
Consider also the following lines to process multiple links in the url parameter. It’s a bit more general and future proof and allows to provide a video also in OGG file format or any other one without introducing new parameters. Allows also any combination of formats (the current implementation always requires mp4 format besides eventual other ones). I think the space character is a good separator as spaces in urls must be written as %20.
// src
$links = explode(' ', $url);
foreach ($links as $link) {
$ext = pathinfo($link, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$src .= ''
}
See also
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.aspfor the most common formats.
Downside of this approach is the requirement that URLs must end with file extension to recognize video formats.
Anyway, don’t forget to update module description, that not only mp4 format is supported.
@giro, Thanks. I have just added support for Ogv file format.
Is there a way to get this to embed within a template? I’ve tried (removed the markup as I didn’t know if it would post with it)
video id="example_video_id_47692594" class="video-js vjs-default-skin vjs-big-play-centered" width="720" height="405" poster="url-to-video-poster.jpg" controls preload="none" data-setup='[]'
source src="url to.mp4" type='video/mp4' />
source src="url to .webm" type='video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"'
The video shows, which is great, but I can’t get the controls to be hidden until someone mouses over it and the big play button doesn’t show. It all works just fine if I add it the usual way within the page content, but not in the template. What am I missing?
@osgd, Probably try using
do_shortcodeinstead of directly pasting the code into the template.https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/
I have installed this plugin in my wordpress 4.4 version. But I dont see the settings for this player.
Can anyone please guide me how to make it work.
@raj, You just activate the plugin and embed the shortcode.
Having some issues. Video plays fine in chrome, it’s an h264 codec inside a .mov file. used to play well in firefox and now not so much.
I also transcoded it to webm for a fallback and added it to the shortcode and it’s still not working.
I can hit the video directly and it plays in firefox and chrome, but oddly via wordpress it doesn’t
Here’s my shortcode.
Showreel
[videojs_video url="http://henriettameire.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Henrietta-Meire-Showreel-2015.mov" webm="http://henriettameire.com/henrietta-meire-showreel-2015-2" width="960"]@Mike, MOV is not a HTML5 compatible video format. Try converting it to a H264 encoded MP4 video and see how it goes.
You might also want to check your webm parameter in the shortcode (It’s missing the webm extension).
Hi,
Is possible to make value 100% for parameters width ???
I Have this problem only with IE, work fine with Mozilla, chrome
@What version of IE is it? If you don’t specify a width it will automatically take the width of the container (see the example in the Usage section).
Hi is il IE 11
Url with video :
http://www.laserment.com/?page_id=115@Pascal, Thanks. It’s just not IE, It’s happening in other browsers as well. I don’t know if it’s conflicting with another plugin. But you can easily find out by deactivating one plugin at a time.
GREAT PLUGIN!
…but is there a way to hide or remove the play button?
thanks!
@Dred, Unfortunately there is no way to do this in the shortcode. You might want to try custom CSS.
Would you happen to have a custom CSS code handy?
Great plugin, thanks. Is there anyway to default the volume to anything less than full? Say 50%?
Thank you for the great plugin!
Quick question. Is there an option to playback .m3u8 playlist?
Check here:
http://c4b.tv/show/test-1-2/@George, I’m not aware of this feature. It may have been customized.
This plugin is not responsive at all, is there something I’m missing?
@Rich, Is your theme responsive? What shortcode are you using? Please provide a link to the page in question so I can take a look.
Hello
will u add subtitle or track feature ?
Thanks
but is there a way to hide or remove the play button? (Mi piace la domanda di Dred)
Anch’io chiedo cortesemente un codice css per rendere trasparente il play button.
TROPPO GRANDE….COPRE L’INTERO VIDEO QUANDO E’ DI PICCOLE DIMENSIONI.

I want to use this for a introduction, what do I do to Auto redirect after video ends?
I want my logo video to come on as soon as your come to my site with full screen and no controls and then Auto redirect after video ends.
Pretty much disappear and go to my front page, Is this the plug in for that ?
my logo:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwHMyPxSSaZFVE5KVzhBeG1hcjg/viewExcellent – seems to work beautifully. One request if I may: Any chance you can integrate this plugin which adds a stepping control. It’s really useful for ‘video catalogues’ in websites.
http://erasche.github.io/videojs-framebyframe/Cheers and thanks/Mark
Hello naa986,
I used a program called Handbrake to compress a 62 MB video down to less than 8 MG as the Media files uploaded must be 8 MB or less. Now that the video is in my media library, how do I embed it into a page? I know you give the short code but don’t I need to give the location of the video in the short code?
Sorry but this is all new to me and a foreign language right now.
@Lorry, You are right. You just need to copy and paste the URL of the video into the shortcode (url parameter).
Thank you. I think I figured that out after posting my question.
Worked like a charm. Is there a way for an image of the video to show rather than only the black screen and play button only?
@Lorry
Right at the top of this page, it states…
Poster
“poster” parameter allows you to set a poster image for the video. For example:
[videojs_video url="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/video/vid.mp4" poster="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/poster.jpg"]in otherwords, you need a screen shot image or screen cap image from your video. Then you add, poster=”url-to-video-screenshot.jpg” to the code in order for it to show instead of the black screen.
PERFECT, THANKS!!
Hi there, thanks for the great plugin. Just a quick question: When I embed a video to a portfolio post, the page does no longer show the title above the video, as it would in a regular portfolio or blog post. Any solutions for this?
@Dennid, It doesn’t really use any WordPress filter to customize the page title/content. Does the title appear if you don’t embed a video using the shortcode?
Hi,
I use videosjs since several weeks. It worked on all browsers (firefox, chrome, opera, safari, internet explorer, android smartphones). My videos are encoded .mp4 (h264).
Since one or two weeks, my videos doesn’t works with internet explorer (v11). The error message is “The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported”. All other browsers works perfectly.
The only change from my previous browsers tests, is an update of WordPress ( version 4.5 ).
Can you help me ?
Thank’s a lot.
@Olivier, Please provide a link so I can take a look.
My video is on the first page of my website :
http://www.commentdevenirvegetarien.fr/Thank’s a lot.
Olivier.
@Olivier, There is some kind of a conflict when it runs in IE. It happens with all IE versions. I tried updating the videojs library but that didn’t make any difference.
Thank’s for your answer.
So … what should I do ? Internet Explorer is a widely used web browser, although I prefer Firefox or Chrome. I expect you to do an update ? and when ? or should I change video player? (it’s important for me to keep my videos on my server).
Thank’s a lot.
Olivier.
@Oliver, I can’t really fix it since the plugin depends on the videojs library. You can try the default player that comes with the core WordPress:

Please help.
@romtv, This format is not supported in the plugin. It needs to be a MP4 video.
Thanks a lot for such a wonderful plugin
Could you please help me with the following issues am facing:
1. Poster image is not visible when I use chrome browser
2. Once the width of the video is set am not able to increase the size .
3. Is there any option to make the controls visible only on hover over the video, otherwise controls are invisble.
Thanks in advance

@Krishna, Please provide a link to the page in question so I can take a look.

@Scott, Unfortunately it’s not supported at the moment.
Hi!
This is a wonderful plugin.
Is there a shortcode to disable the fullscreen button? If not, could you help me figure out how to do so in the code?
Thanks very much,

Hi,
Can this be used for a background video when the video is hosted on flowplayer drive? Thanks!
@Flowplayer, I don’t know how flowplayer drive works. Do you get embed code like YouTube or link to an actual MP4 file? If it’s the latter you might be able to play with this plugin.
Hi,
Great plugin, could you add in the option for captions? Also why does the video have to re-load with the loop function?
Hi
I have a download host. I upload my video file to this host.
I have a website with https.(download host and website are separate)
I use this code in my site:
[videojs_video url=”http://dl.example.com/video/vid.mp4″ preload=”none”]
when I use this code on my https is ok. but after that I see just play button.
if I use this code:
[videojs_video url=”http://dl.example.com/video/vid.mp4″ preload=”metadata”]
I see video. but https not ok.
can you help me?
thanks.
@ze, Are you saying that you have a https site where you are embedding the video in http? That’s not going to work because the browser will block all insecure resources on a https page.
If It’s a different issue please provide a link to the page in question so I can take a closer look.
no demo????
pleace give video use plugin
How can i centered the big play button.?
How to play google drive link ?
my videos are hosted on google drive so google drive provide me embed link like this,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2Drjr6XLo4EbFZJbGhtWFotdDQ/viewAny solution ?
@Abdul, An embed URL like YouTube is not enough. You need to provide the actual path to the MP4 file in the shortcode.
Hello. Thank you for having put your effort putting this plugin out.
I have two issues, first, metadata is not loading in android-chrome samsung galaxy. Videos come right on top of the text which is supposed to appear below the video with only a play button visible. I have tried to put a poster image code as well but that didn’t work. I guess it is a chrome issue on android ?
My videos are H264-mp4’s, there are about 40 videos on a single page, all work fine in OSX Chrome and Firefox but none will work in Safari 10.1. Safari gives me a “media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed, or because the format is not supported.” with a big X sign .
Upload “MP4” video can be done right do not appear video save it?
How do I add the close-button.js to this so I can close a video when it’s done or when the viewer is done watching it.
Idea is to have the page return to it’s original state upon user’s action.
thesurrenderfilm.com
@Jay, Unfortunately this feature is not available at the moment.
Cannot center on page without using div tags AND … height is being ignored. 🙁
@Triblu, In order to keep the video responsive, the height of the video automatically scales based on the width.
The system is ignoring my width tag. Not sure why… Any ideas?
Hello
Can i add custon skin ? if yes how ?
then also can i add pre roll ads ?
thanks in advance
@Dian, Unfortunately these features are not available at the moment.
This is perfect! I have been trying to hide controls with plug ins and code for 2 days and nothing else worked! Thank you…
Just wondering if you know how to change the page height so that the video sits right under the header like the video widget does? I couldn’t hide the controls via the video widget so have resorted to posting it in a page but it sits with a white gap under the header that I want to eliminate if possible. Any help appreciated.
Hey, thanks for making this plugin. Would it be possible to add links with different resolutions so the user can switch between sd and hd?
Also is there a way of putting the play button in the middle? it appears on the top left which is kind of awkward.
@Dave, Unfortunately, it’s not possible to switch between SD and HD at the moment.
This is how the play button was designed with the player. I’m not really the author of the videojs library. I’m just a developer who integrated into WordPress.
hi i installed videojs-html5 player in my wordpress homepage.
and when i play self hosted video , the screen plays too small size ..
how can i increase the size of the video in html5 player ?
@kosinus, Have you specified a width in the shortcode? Please provide a link to the page in question so I can take a look.
Hello,
I am wonder if this plugin support m3u8 format ?
Thank you
@Richard, Unfortunately, m3u8 format is not supported at the moment.
Thank you
Is there a way to get the plugin to tell wordpress to load the minified asset files? Right now it only loads the unminified versions
PS: I see the files are there i the plugin folder but i do not se any place in your code that loads them conditionally which leads me to believe that it is not possible
@Mo, It will include the minified version in the next release.
Is there already an option for Captions and Subtitles? Thanks
@Bee, It’s not available at the moment.
Hello, how add video from my ftp server? no www, bur ftp. create gallery or how?
Can you use this to live stream?
@Emmex, Unfortunately that’s not possible at the moment.
The plugin works great, thanks!
One question: can I add a mute/unmute button to the player?
how to add that shortcode at wordpress single.php ?
code starts with
ID, ‘video_url’, true); if(!empty($video_url))
[videojs_video url=”http://…”]
regards Paul
@Paul, You can use the WordPress do_shortcode function: https://noorsplugin.com/wordpress-do_shortcode-and-its-usage/
code is
ID, ‘video_url’, true);
where to add that do_shortcode function?
that’s the demo code from your link
echo do_shortcode('[my_gallery id="163" size="small"]', true);but I dont see any ‘echo’ at single.php
echo do_shortcode('[videojs_video url=”http://…”]', true);I want to use Videojs HTML5 Player instead of player from embed imported videos.
Very handy plugin. Thank you. It does not autoplay on android smartphones. Is there a shortcode addition or workaround you are aware of?
@Scott, Autoplay will not work on mobile devices. It’s something the manufacturers disabled to prevent unwanted bandwidth loss. A video will only play when a user initiates it.
i can’t make the video play on start, seems autoplay doesn’t work. Any suggestions?
Thanks
@mike, Which shortcode are you using? Please provide a link to the page in question so I can take a look.
why not offer hls / m3u8 ?
Hi
I have a problem.
how can I remove the empty space below the video?
I’ve tried to insert [/videojr_video] code, but there is still a empty space.
I need your help..
haii, i have a questions. Help me please.
how to make button play centered as code vjs-big-play-centered?
and then how to add track/subtitle in my video?.
thanks
@Ghisa, It’s not possible because that’s how the videojs player was designed.
https://github.com/videojs/video.js/issues/2599@Jade, I have just released an update. The play button is now centered by default.
We preferred the placement of the play button at the top left. Is there a way we can put it back up there?
I’m new to inserting short-code.
I placed this code
[videojs_video url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWKcZmpiM8w"]in the HTML of a post where I want it to show, but it doesn’t seem to understand the code.What am I doing wrong?
@Steve, This plugin can only embed a MP4 video file.
I have been using this plugin for quite some time and I have to say that I do love it. However, I can not get it to work on mobile. I just get a “Media can not be loaded” error. Is there a way to make it work on mobile?
@Lindsay, Is your video properly encoded (H264 MP4)?
yes. MP4
@Lindsay, Just a file with an MP4 extension is not enough. You need to make sure that it’s compatible with web/mobile devices. You can even use a free encoder like handbrake to do this. Please install handbrake, open the video in it and run an H264 encoding (with the “Web Optimized” option enabled).
The player allows anyone to download the video. For self hosted video, I want to keep the content private and not allow download? How do you prevent downloading? If I want a standard video player, I would use Youtube.
Thanks
@Tucker, Unfortunately, that’s not possible at the moment.
Hello,
is there a way that the video always takes the full height of any screen? Especially on vertical screens the video is still being shown horizontaly. Thanks! Best, Pierre
Hi, when i try to insert my video into the post i get the message “You need to specify the src of the video file”
Can you please help me out?
@Justin, What shortcode are you using? Did you copy and paste it as plain text?
Hi,
Recently I made a blog post and uploaded several short mp4 clips using this wordpress player. I set the settings to autoplay and loop.
This worked fine for a sometime while I checked the page preview as I was making the page. But when I published the autoplay wouldn’t work. I had to click play myself and it would loop about 2 times and them stop. No matter what I try the autoplay and loop doesn’t happen automatically!
I have loads of videos I want to upload for different pages to play this way, as a better quality alternative to a GIF.
Do you know why this might be happening?
@Cheryl, Are you browsing in Google Chrome? Please provide a link to the page in question so I can take a look.
I have 2 videos ( one for mobile version, and one for desktop )
But plugin change timestamp always only on 1. video on page and for other one it does not work. How can I add some ID or something to separate thoice 2 videos and make plugin work on both videos.
Many thanks,
Nikola
The CSS file is empty??? I guess you just drop the video in using shortcodes and hope for the best. Who cares that it looks sh** with borders only on two sides, no way to make background white, nor adjust the height . Not very good at all
I can hear the audio, but there is no video that I can see. What could be the problem?
@Kim, This might be an encoding issue. You can encode your video (H.264 MP4) with a free encoder like handbrake and see how it goes.
Video Poster is not showing in mobile devices
Can we set a default fixed width? Like 720 px?
Where is settings located?
[videojs_video url="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/video/vid.mp4" width="480"]Thanks
Roni
@Roni, Do you mean height? The height is adjusted automatically based on the width.
Hi,
I’m start using your video player and like it. I try to find any information about setting video width for 720px by default. So my users will have the same 720px video width across my site without setting on the shortcode like below every time they upload video. Also it can be maintain the same width for any video uploaded on my site.
[videojs_video url="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/video/vid.mp4" width="480"]I expect it can be done my some code on function.php?
Thank you
Charles T.
Hello,
I’m trying to display a 4:3 video, but your plugin keeps displaying it as a 16:9 video, with black bars at both sides. How can I force your plugin to show the 4:3 video with its correct aspect ratio?
Thanks!
Hi I just activated Videojs and put in a url to an hls server (not a video stored on my computer)
after saving and viewing the page it shows an error
“you need to specify the src of the video file”
what do I need to do?
that hls is the stream the tv network gave me to use to air the tv channel
Many thanks
@ST, Unfortunately this is not possible at the moment.
Is there a way to change the color of the controls? Right now the play button and the fullscreen button have a pink-red background.
can we switch video quality in videojs player
How can add VideoJS plugin in the wordpress plugin such as this?
https://github.com/ctd1500/videojs-hotkeysCan you update the plugin to use the latest version of video.js which at this time is v7.7.3.
How can I specify a proper videojs_video construct without mp4-file, but instead only a webm file?
Background information: Simply specifying the the http-address of the video always generates the type=”video/mp4″ tag in the HTML-output, while the video is in webm-format. However this goes well in most cases, but a user reports that MAC Safari makes problems. I’d guess that Safari is more strict and hence strictly expect a mp4-file is tagged so.
@Rob, You can provide an additional webm file using the “webm” parameter in the shortcode.
Hi.
I am using “autoplay” & “preload” for the video but at the same time i am using a “preloader” for my page. The problem is video starts to play before the render of the page. Is there any way to solve the problem.
– Is it possible to autoplay after rendering the page or the video section?
– Is it possible to autoplay at the end of the loading process of the entire page?
Could you add the ability to reference subtitle tracks

Hi, I have a folder in my website that was generated by the Articulate 09 e-learning software. It packed a powerpoint presentation into Flash, the zip folder was unpacked into a folder in my server. There is a .html file in there. I wonder how your videojs could help.
@Myres, The shorcode requires a direct link to a MP4 video file. It cannot open a HTML file.
I’m using this player in my WordPress site, and the video loads and plays fine, but I cannot get the controls to show. I left out the controls attribute, and nothing. I put it in and set to true, nothing. No matter what I do, there are no controls for the video. Any idea what could be causing this?
Hi Noor,
I can’t get autoplay to work on Safari, (Chrome works fine). I’ve muted as well, and can’t find a solution. Could you please help? Link here:

Hi
Could you please add support to Youtube/Vimeo?
I know there is built-in support in wordpress to embed these directly,
My point is that I want to be able to skin the Youtube player with videoJS to match my website design
Also I could have the same player for both Youtube and Vimeo source, for better integration
I installed plugin and using shortcode to show video but video is not coming and showing just image
[videojs_video url="hereurl.mp4" autoplay="true" preload="auto" controls="false"]Please reply me for my above issue please why just image is coming for the video
@Jyotisingh, You simply entered the file name in the shortcode. How would the plugin locate the video?
Its just example i was added file path here
this is the video path
https://smbdigitalzone.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Welcome-to-SMB-Digital-Zone-_-Web-Development-and-Digital-Marketing-in-Dubai-_-3D-Virtual-Reality.mp4@Jyoti, It’s really long. Please make it shorter and provide a link to the page where you are using it.
I am using this and again I saw on my website just a picture and video is not working just showing image of the starting video
check on my site you can see there
https://smbdigitalzone.comAnd I want to use it in full screen and in loop play without control buttons
[videojs_video url="https://smbdigitalzone.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/videosmb.mp4" autoplay="true" preload="auto" controls="false"]Hi Noor,
thanks to reply and here this is my site link
https://smbdigitalzone.com/and here at the banner position I am using video but its not coming only in full screen and also video is taking to much time to load these 2 issue are coming here
Give me the solution to reduce loading time it should be open with the site content and its only 1 minute video
Thank You.
@Jyoti, I don’t see any banner or video on your homepage. Please create a separate test page with the video in it so I can troubleshoot this issue. You need to create a shortcode block (that comes with the default WordPress page editor) and insert the shortcode into it.
I directly opened your video in my browser and it was constantly getting stuck. It may have some encoding issue or your server is not being able serve the resource.
https://smbdigitalzone.com/video-test/this is the test page and here I have added this shortcode
[videojs_video url="https://smbdigitalzone.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/videosmb.mp4" autoplay="true" preload="auto" controls="false" loop="true" muted="true"]I need to be open video instantly. and its just 6mb video and 1 minute video
@jyoti, Thanks. I think it’s better if you use a different plugin. Alternatively, you can directly embed the video. You no longer need a plugin to embed mp4 videos in WordPress.
Can I play 360° equirectangular videos with this plugin?
anybody working on integrating videojs-vr?
Is there a way to auto play the video only when in view and stop video when not in view?
Is there a way to load/play a caption file with the video, using the shortcode?
is it possible to mark chapters on the timeline of the video somehow?
I saw that this is available in the paid version of the brighcove player but is it also possible in videojs?
@StyledThemes, Unfortunately it’s not possible at the moment.
Would you consider upgrading the VideoJS code in your plugin? Ver. 5.5 is quite old, 7.8.4 would be good choice at the moment.
@Ranga, I do have a plan to update it soon.
Hello, is it possible to put subtitles (caption) and change the resolution?
@bazza, Unfortunately that’s not possible at the moment.
autoplay not working i am frustrated i try many times kindly fix this issue
@Muhammad, Autoplay is no longer a guaranteed feature. It depends on whether or not your browser will allow it.
Autoplay policy in Chrome and Safari says that to allow autoplay videos they must be muted. So try to muted=”true” and it is gonna work.
Is it possible to embed a different video depending if the browser is Chrome or Safari? F.Ex: If I open Chrome I want it open the most light video in format .wepm, but if I open it on Safari, as log as it doesn’t play .webm, I want it opens a .mp4 version, what do you think?
Ty
@Jorge, You can provide a webm file in addition to mp4. Please check the documentation for more information.
Hi.
is it possible to hide path of video?
When we right click on player it show “copy video address”.
I want to hide Right click options.
@Muhammad, That’s not possible. But you can install a plugin that will disable right click.
Hi,
Will this plugin support an m3u8 plyalist?
Many thanks.
@Rob, It’s not supported at the moment.
Wonderful plugin!
Though setting the ‘width’ to a custom value gives the video white borders, and in some cases those borders are huge, so changing them to transparent in CSS isn’t enough to fix it.
How do I prevent these borders from showing up?
Thanks!
Player works perfectly – but not in Ajax. When loading it in ajax loop (for infinite scroll), shortcode processes incorrectly, giving zero size object like
Is it possible to load it via ajax?
How do you remove black bars on video, please!
Is it possible to start the play with couple seconds of delay?
I have autoplay for 2 videos attached together and I don’t want they go sync
Thank you
@Jorge, Unfortunately that’s not possible at the moment.
Thank you. Don’t worry. I can try to do the 2 videos with different lenght to make them out of sync after the first play.
Anyways, congratulations for the plugin. Is really usefull
We preferred the placement of the play button at the top left. Is there a way we can put it back up there?
@Sonja, Video.js updated the player. If you like the older player you may need to revert to an older version of the plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/videojs-html5-player/advanced/
Thank you very much!
It would be great if someone can determine the placement of the play button in the shortcode itself, whether it should be cented, top left or bottom left. So that the player always stays up to date.
I tried version 1.1.2. so the video player button is now on the top left. However, the player icon is not displayed, only the button is grayed out.
How to change or remove the Picture-In-Picture icon that is set to Pinterest Icon right now?
Hi there!
I’m having problems with the responsiveness of the player. When I add width=”480″ the height stays the same. Here’s the url:
