If you want to offer high-quality content to your students in Hotmart Club, using videos can be an excellent strategy. You can embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo, or even use Hotmart Club's video streaming to ensure more security and a better experience for your students.
In this article, we’ll show you how to set up video privacy and obtain the embed code to add videos to Hotmart Club. Plus, we’ll introduce an exclusive alternative: Hotmart Player, which provides even more security for your content.
❯ What are embedded videos?
Before anything else, it's important to understand what embedded videos are. These are videos hosted on external platforms, like YouTube or Vimeo, that can be displayed directly in Hotmart Club. Instead of uploading the video to the platform, you simply embed an embed code to display it on your content page.
❯ Which video platforms can I use?
You can choose between free platforms, like YouTube and Vimeo, or paid services, such as Vimeo Plus/PRO and Wistia, which offer greater control over content privacy.
If you want a more secure and fully integrated solution with Hotmart Club, you can use Hotmart Player, which protects your content from unauthorized downloads. In this case, there’s no need to embed videos manually.
How to set up my video and obtain the embed code?
To securely embed your videos, it’s essential to set up the correct privacy settings before adding them to Hotmart Club. This ensures that only your students have access to the videos and prevents unauthorized downloads. Once you've set up privacy, you can copy the embed code.
