Adding Brightcove as a Video Provider

You can allow your users to embed videos hosted by Brightcove in their content by specifying the Player ID and Partner ID associated with your Brightcove repository in a custom macro.

If you use Brightcove to host videos and want to make them available for users to post in your community, you'll need to specify the settings for your site using a macro which you can then enable and disable.
  1. Upload your videos using the Brightcove Media Management UI and make sure they're available for viewing.
  2. In the Brightcove media management UI, across from a video, copy the embed codes for the video
  3. Get the {PLAYER_ID} and {PLAYER_KEY} that identify your site.
  4. In the Admin Console under Spaces > Settings > Filters and Macros, edit the settings for the CustomVideoMacro: brightcove macro and use these values to populate the playerID and partnerID settings. Make sure you select the space where you want to enable this provider. If you want to apply the setting community-wide, select the root space.
  5. Make sure that macro is set to On. (Note that when you disable a provider macro that has been enabled previously, videos already embedded from that provider will show as disabled.) When your users embed videos from the Web in content, they'll see Brightcove as a video provider option below the embed code field, and will be able to paste video embed code from Brightcove into the field to successfully post and play videos.
