# Embedding on WordPress


The Kinescope plugin for WordPress lets you add a video player to pages and posts using a shortcode or widget. The plugin supports all Kinescope features, including content protection, player customization, and analytics.

## Who this article is for

Or [download the plugin](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/kinescope.0.1.1.zip) and upload it to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.

## **Using the plugin**

After installing the plugin, you'll be able to add video. This can be done in several ways: via an embed element or using the page editor.

1. Integrate the player via an embed element.
2. Specify the video link.

If you use a page editor such as Elementor or Bricks, a Kinescope icon will be available there. Specify the video link.

Configure the player template and add chapters, subtitles, and CTA buttons to your video. Learn how in the article [Working with files: subtitles, chapters, and more](https://docs.kinescope.com/catalog-and-video-management/working-with-files/).
