Overview of Publishing Methods

Here is a detailed breakdown of each embedding option:

• Link
  A direct URL to the Boomstream player. Ideal for quick sharing with viewers via email or messaging apps.

• Fixed Code
  An iframe embed code with fixed dimensions. Use this when you need the player to maintain a specific width and height on your webpage.

• Adaptive Code
  A JavaScript embed code that automatically adjusts to different screen sizes (responsive design). Note: The player works inline; on iOS devices, the Boomstream player opens in full-screen mode instead of the native Apple system player.

• Popover
  A JavaScript embed code that triggers the video player to open in a modal or popup window over your existing webpage.

• Page
  Generates a standalone mini-landing page with the embedded player. You can also enable additional features on this page, such as a likes panel, social media sharing buttons, and a comments section.

• MP4 Link
  Provides a direct .mp4 URL, allowing you to use the video file within your own custom HTML5 player implementation on your website or landing page.
