Video Player: Setup and Embedding
The Kinescope video player is a powerful tool for playing and embedding video on your sites. In this section you will find everything you need to configure, customize, and integrate the player.

Where to start
- Need to show video on a website — take the ready-made embed code from the embedding article
- The player should look like your product — colours, logo, and controls are configured in player customization
- The player needs to be controlled from code — see the IFrame Player API : methods, events, and playlists
What’s in this section
- Embedding — responsive and fixed embed code, URL parameters, calls to action, and page load optimization
- Player customization — player templates, colour, logo, and the set of controls

What’s next?
After setting up the player we recommend:
- Catalog and video management — file access settings, subtitles, chapters, and view analytics
- Content protection — watermarks, DRM, and access restrictions
- Developer guides — API, webhooks, and programmatic player control
- Resolving issues — what to do if video doesn’t load, doesn’t play, or behaves unexpectedly
