Two video delivery options are currently supported, including Self-hosted MP4 video and Vimeo video.
For in-depth information on Vimeo, please refer to the documentation provided by the service provider.
Self-hosted video requires a server to host the video files, caption files, and poster files. For proper functionality, CORS must be enabled and configured on the web server hosting the files. If used, caption and poster files must be uploaded to the same folder as their respective videos and must use the exact same file name, but with the appropriate .vtt and .jpg file extensions, respectively. For example:
For the optimum display quality and performance it is recommended that videos be encoded at 720P resolution using the following settings:
Video:
Wrapper Format: MP4 (.mp4)
Video Format: H.264
Video Resolution: 1,280 x 720 (w x h)
Frame Rate: 29.97
Field Order: Progressive
Aspect: Square Pixels (1.0)
Encoding Profile: High
Encoding Level: 4.2
Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 1 pass
Target Bitrate [Mbps]: 8
Audio:
Audio Format: AAC
Audio Codec: AAC
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Channels: Stereo
Bitrate [kbps]: 320
NOTE: Depending on the application used for encoding, some settings may not be available or may be referred to by other names.
Closed captions for each video must be saved in a text-based file with the .vtt filename extension. Closed caption files for self-hosted video must use the exact same filename as the video, but with the .vtt extension, and must be uploaded to the same folder as the video file.
