The Flexible Solution for Video Embed
VIMP is your solution for the central provision, management and embedding of videos. Whether you want to embed a single video in your website, integrate videos into a CMS, or deliver media through portals, intranets and learning platforms, VIMP offers the right embedding option for every use case.
Depending on your project, videos can be delivered via iFrame Embed, JS Embed or a custom integration using the HTML Video Tag. As a result, you can choose between simple integration, a cookie-free video embed, high performance or maximum technical flexibility.
GDPR-Compliant Video Embedding
Embed videos in websites and portals in a GDPR-compliant way. With VIMP, you retain control over storage location, delivery, access and data protection — either via VIMP Hosting in Germany or in an on-premises setup.
Dedicated Video Player
Use the VIMP Player to deliver videos professionally on external websites, in portals or applications without redirecting users to external video platforms.
Flexible Integration
Integrate videos into CMS websites, corporate portals, intranets, extranets or learning management systems. With the VIMP API, media and embed integrations can also be incorporated into existing workflows.
Central Media Management
Manage videos, audio files, images and documents centrally in VIMP and publish selected media specifically on external pages. This keeps content, access rights and publications clearly organized.
What Does It Mean to Embed a Video in a Website?
To embed videos in websites means that a video can be displayed and played directly on a website through a player, without having to manage the video file manually on each individual page. With VIMP, media are stored centrally in the platform and delivered to external websites, portals or learning platforms via a video embed code or a technical integration.
Embed Videos Based on Your Use Case
With VIMP, you can embed videos in websites, portals or CMS pages in different ways. The best option depends on whether you need a particularly simple integration, a cookie-free video embed or maximum technical flexibility.
Simple Integration via iFrame Embed
The iFrame Embed is the classic standard solution for quickly and easily embedding videos on external websites. In this setup, the video, including the VIMP Player, is inserted into the target page via a video embed code.
This option is particularly suitable if you want to use the full functionality of the VIMP Player without major development effort. In addition, the embed code is available through the sharing function of the respective medium and can also be retrieved via the VIMP API or oEmbed.
Cookie-Free Integration via JS Embed
The JS Embed is the right solution if you want to embed videos in a website in a cookie-free and high-performance way. Instead of loading the video as a separate iFrame, it is integrated directly into the website and played via the native browser player.
As a result, the integration remains lightweight and particularly performant. However, the range of functions is reduced compared to the iFrame Embed, because the full VIMP Player is not used. The JS video embed code can be retrieved via the sharing function on the video page.
Custom Integration via HTML Video Tag
If you want to use your own HTML5 player or custom frontend logic, you can embed videos using the HTML Video Tag. This requires the direct video URL.
This option offers the highest level of technical flexibility and is particularly suitable for custom web projects or API-based integrations. At the same time, you take on more responsibility for the frontend implementation.
Protect Embedded Videos with URL Signing
With URL signing, embedded videos can be restricted to specific domains. This allows you to define on which external websites your videos may be played. URL signing is designed for embed scenarios using iFrame Embed or JS Embed.
