Video Playback with MediaValet CDN Embed Links

Overview

MediaValet allows you to control how videos play on external websites using CDN embed link URLs. By adding URL parameters to an embed link, you can define video behavior such as autoplay, mute, looping, and whether player controls are visible—without re-encoding or duplicating video assets.

Embed Links vs Standard CDN Links
 

Video playback parameters only work with MediaValet embed link URLs. These links are generated by selecting HTML Snippet for a video asset and copying the URL from the src field. Standard CDN download links do not support video playback controls.

Note: To generate an embed link, select a video asset in MediaValet, click the CDN share icon, and choose HTML Snipper. The embed link URL can be found in the src attribute of the provided iframe code.

Supported Video Playback Controls

You can control the following video playback behaviors:

• Autoplay: Automatically starts playback when the video loads (autoplay= true). Most modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) require videos to be muted for autoplay to work. Always use autoplay=true&muted=true together for the best compatibility.
• Muted: Plays the video without sound (muted=true)
• Loop: Replays the video continuously (loop=true)
• Hide Controls: Removes visible video player controls (controls=false)
• Background Preset: convenient shortcut that combines autoplay, mute, loop, and hide controls for seamless background video playback (preset=background)

Example URLs format:

Autoplay with Mute: https://cdn.mediavalet.com/embed/video-id?autoplay=true&muted=true

Loop Without Controls: https://cdn.mediavalet.com/embed/video-id?loop=true

Hide Controls: https://cdn.mediavalet.com/embed/video-id?control=false

Background Video Preset: https://cdn.mediavalet.com/embed/video-id?preset=background
