What actions can I perform with the Vid.ly user interface?

 

In this article we explain the many functions you can perform with the Vid.ly user interface.

 

Customize the Vid.ly player

You can easily customize the appearance and controls of the Vid.ly player:

  1. Click the Customize button
  2. Click the Download CSS button to download our CSS template.
  3. Customize the CSS to your requirements.
  4. Click the Upload CSS button to upload the modified CSS.

 

NOTE: The file name must have the .css suffix to be acceptable for uploading.

 

 

Security

You can secure your Vid.ly by restricting the start and expiration times:

  • Start Date – This is time at which you want your Vid.ly to become available for viewing, which is especially useful for campaigns that don’t start immediately.
  • Expire Date – This is time at which you want your Vid.ly to become unavailable, which can be set to correspond to the end of a upcoming campaigns.

 

NOTE: The full timestamp format must fit the pattern YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, but the HH:MM:SS suffix is optional.

 

 

Token protection

Follow these steps to protect your video using tokens:

  1. Check the box for Protect with Token.
  2. Fill in the Token Names, ensuring that each is distinct from others in the token list.
  3. Enter the Allowed from Date and Allowed to Date to restrict the time that the video is to be available.
  4. Instead of Allowed to Date, you can enter an Expiration Time. This will setup a timer that will discontinue access after a specific duration. This value should be in seconds. For example, if you enter 86,400 seconds, this would be equivalent to 24 hours.
  5. For Allowed IP, specify one of the options below to indicate the precision of access necessary to access your Vid.ly:
  • 192.168.1.50 – Permits only a single IP address to access the link
  • 192.168.1.1-50 – Permits the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.50 to access the link
  • 192.168.1.* – Permits the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255 to access the link.
