Comments Off on Getting Started with Jetpack VideoPress via the Jetpack Plugin
With Jetpack VideoPress you are able to select your privacy settings whether leaving your videos to your default site privacy settings, public, or private. You are also able to determine whether or not all of your current and future videos are private.
Video Privacy settings are accessible in the VideoPress Block settings panel.
Setting Your Privacy
You can access and change your video privacy settings directly from your Media Library or within a post or page that you are adding a video to.
Change Privacy in the Media Library:
Go to WordPress.com.
In the top left corner, click Switch Site and select the Jetpack-connected site you’re working on.
Go to Media.
Click on the video(s) that you want to change privacy settings on or upload a new video by clicking the Add New button.
When you click on the video(s) you’ll then click the Edit button, this will open a pop-up with your video and all applicable settings.
Under the Privacy setting you’ll see options for Site Default, Public or Private. Select your desired privacy setting and then click Done.
Change Privacy in a Post or Page:
To get started access a post or page that has an uploaded VideoPress video or create a new one. Once you have selected your page or post add a video and allow the upload process to begin.
In the right sidebar under Block Settings, scroll down to Video Privacy. Here you will see that privacy will default to your site privacy settings.
By selecting the dropdown you can select Site Default, Public, or Private. Select the option you need for your video.
When you choose Private only members of your site will be able to view the video on your post or pages. Non-Members will see a video player that looks like the image to the right.
This video uploaded does not have a poster image. If you selected to show a poster image that image would be displayed with the private overlay message.
Both videos have post images selected.
If you have multiple videos within a post or page that you’d like to be selective about privacy you can change the privacy settings for each video. For example, to the right, you can see two videos that are set as Public.
When you change the block settings for one of these videos to be Private instead of public a non-member of your site will see this instead:
One video is public and another is private.
Advanced Settings
If you prefer to be selective about which videos are private or public you can manage each block’s settings through the steps above.
If you prefer all of your videos to be private except to members of your site you can change those settings into perpetuity for your site.
If you’re using the Jetpack Plugin
In your site’s WP Admin, go to Jetpack > Settings > Performance
Scroll down to Media > VideoPress > Video Privacy
Toggle “Restrict views to members of this site”
If you’re using the Jetpack VideoPress Plugin
In your site’s WP Admin, go to Jetpack > VideoPress.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page.
Toggle “Video Privacy: Restrict views to members of this site”
Once that option is toggled your videos will now be restricted to members of your site and no longer visible to non-members.

Adjusting Video Settings
After embedding a video, you can adjust a few settings that will affect how it behaves on this page/post. Select the video, click the pencil icon, and then update the settings as needed.
Adjusting Sharing Settings
Jetpack VideoPress makes video playback and sharing a simple experience for your viewers through our default sharing options. Using the share links, your viewers will be able to easily download and embed your videos. By default, clicking the sharing icon in the top right of the video player reveals the following sharing options:
This will give anyone viewing your videos the option to download the video file in a variety of formats, and options for sharing the video permalink or iframe embed code. If you would like to disable sharing, you can do that in the video settings in the Media Library.
Note: Disabling the sharing options removes the functionality from the video player, but it is still possible to download the video from your browser. We take reasonable steps to prevent embedding on other sites by hiding the sharing options, which should stop most attempts.
Video Stats
All videos come with stats tracking, which can be viewed within your Jetpack Stats. You can scroll down and find the “Videos” stats:
Clicking on “Video” will take you to the page that shows more statistics:
Impressions: The number of times a video was loaded on the page.

freedom=true/false to force only use open-source video formats

Comments Off on Add a Video Using the Classic Editor
Jetpack’s Video block enhances the existing WordPress Video block and allows you to upload videos from your computer to be hosted on WordPress.com, rather than on your host’s servers. You can then insert these videos into posts and pages on your Jetpack site.
Note: this page describes how to use the Video Block when using the Block Editor. You can find instructions on adding a Video on the Classic editor here. For general features and FAQs, please see our marketing page.
You can add the Video block by searching and/or selecting it from the Jetpack section of the block selector:
Be sure to select the Video block rather than the VideoPress block as these are different.
See Jetpack Blocks for detailed instructions on adding blocks.
Adding a Video
You can add a video directly within the block itself by dragging the file to the block or using one of the three buttons: Upload, Media Library, and Insert from URL.
Upload will allow you to upload a new video file from your computer.
Media Library allows to you select any video file that’s already been uploaded to your library, including those that have been uploaded to our servers.
Insert from URL allows you to insert any video URL, both from Jetpack’s video hosting and third-party services. If you insert a URL from another supported block type, such as YouTube, the Video block will automatically transform into a YouTube block.
Links added to the video block from external services will transform into their respective block.
Once the video is embedded in the page, you can add an optional caption if desired.
Block Toolbar
The video block toolbar supports all alignment options.
As with the image block, the Video block can be inline-aligned with the paragraph below it by clicking the left-align or right-align icons.
Edit Video
The edit option in the Video block’s toolbar will allow you to select a new video file for your block. Use this if you need to replace the video file in your block.
Block Settings
Every block has specific options in the editor sidebar in addition to the options found in the block toolbar. If you do not see the sidebar, simply click the ‘cog’ icon next to the Publish button.
The block settings can be found in the sidebar.
Autoplay, Loop, & Muted
These options let you set your video file to autoplay when someone visits the page or post. Looping lets you choose if the video file repeats after it’s finished. You can also choose to mute the video if your circumstance requires it.
Note: some browsers do not respect the autoplay settings, so that setting may not work in all browsers. You may need to enable mute for autoplay to work in those instances.
The block settings include Autoplay, Loop, Muted, Playback Controls, Preload, and a Poster Image.
Playback Controls
Toggle this option to show or hide the playback control overlay on the video.
Preload
This option allows you to select how much of the video file is downloaded when the page or post is loaded. While it may be tempting to go ahead and have the whole file download automatically, keep in mind that this can slow your page’s load speed down.
There are three settings:
None – Nothing about the video file is downloaded automatically. The download of the video file only begins when your visitor clicks the Play button. This is the fastest setting.
Metadata – Only basic info about the file will be downloaded automatically. Like the None option, the download of the video file only begins when someone clicks Play. This setting is also very fast, as the only thing downloaded is text. On a fundamental level, there’s not a big difference between None and Metadata.
Auto – The entire video file is downloaded, regardless of whether the visitor clicks the Play button or not. This makes the biggest impact on your page or post’s load speed, especially with larger video files.
Poster Image
Optionally, you can choose a poster image that will be displayed before a video is set to Play, this can be useful if the first frame of the video isn’t necessarily appealing or indicative of the video content.
Advanced
The advanced tab lets you add a CSS class to your block, allowing you to write custom CSS and style the block as you see fit.
The advanced section lets you add a CSS class to your block.
This feature is deactivated by default. It can be activated/deactivated at any time by toggling the “Enable high-speed, ad-free video player” setting in the Video section at Jetpack → Settings → Performance in your dashboard.

Adding the VideoPress Block from the block selector.
Adding the VideoPress block by typing /videopress into the content area.
Select a Video
You can add a video directly within the block by dragging the file to the block, or you can use one of the three buttons: Upload, Media Library, or Insert from URL.
Upload will allow you to upload a new video file from your computer. You’ll see a progress bar where you can pause and resume the upload, and you’ll be able to edit your Video Title and Thumbnail for your video as your video uploads. See our article on Uploading a Video to Jetpack VideoPress for recommendations on file size and format for your videos.
Media Library allows you to select any VideoPress file that’s already been uploaded to your library.
Insert from URL allows you to insert the video URL directly.
Once the video successfully uploads, you’ll see the ‘Upload complete!’ notification. When you are settled with your Video Title and Thumbnail, click Done and you’ll see your video embedded into your post or page. From there, you’ll be able to set a caption for your video and access the Block Toolbar.
Block Toolbar
The VideoPress block toolbar allows you to change the video’s alignment on the page, change the video’s poster image, and add text tracks.
Change Alignment
By clicking the Change alignment button, you can change the video’s alignment to Align left, Align center, Align right, Wide width, or Full width.
Edit Poster Image
Clicking the poster image button will allow you to change the poster image for the video. This is the image that will be displayed before a video is played. This can be useful if the first frame of the video isn’t necessarily appealing or indicative of the video content.
While there isn’t a minimum required size for your poster image, we recommend that the image be at least the size of your video.
For example, if your video is a 1080p video, you should use an image that is 1920 by 1080 pixels.
Adding Subtitles or Captions within a Video
You can add subtitles or captions within your video by using a .vtt file. After adding your video using the VideoPress block, click on the Text Tracks icon, as shown below:
You can then press Upload Track to upload your .vtt file. The Label and Source Language fields will automatically be populated if nothing is inserted.
Click Save and your track will be added to the video. When you preview your post or page, you will see the subtitles menu that will be available in the video player, with your text track available as an option for a viewer to select.
Note that viewers can use the Captions Settings menu in the VideoPress player to customize the appearance of the subtitles or captions text to their liking.
Block Settings
Every block has options available in the editor sidebar. If you do not see the sidebar, click the ‘cog’ icon next to the Publish button, and it will appear.
The block settings can be found in the sidebar.
Title and Description
Here, you can add a title and description for your video, which is helpful for SEO and accessibility purposes.
The Description box can also be used to add chapters to your video. Chapters are a great way to split up longer videos and organize them into different sections. They allow your visitors to see what each section is about and skip to their favorite parts.
How to add Chapters to your VideoPress videos
In the Description box, add a list of timestamps and titles.
Make sure that the first timestamp starts with 00:00.
Add at least three chapters entries.
Add your chapters entries in consecutive order, with at least 10-second intervals between each.
An example of correctly formatted video chapters.
Playback Settings
This section of the sidebar lets you control several settings:
Autoplay: This option lets you set your video to automatically play when someone visits your page or post. Some browsers do not respect this setting. You may need to enable mute for autoplay to work in those instances.
Loop: This option allows you to choose if the video repeats automatically after it plays through.
Muted: This option allows you to choose if the video has sound when it plays. Users can still unmute the video from the player controls. It’s recommended to use the muted option if you choose to have your video autoplay.
Show Controls: This option allows you to show or hide the playback controls on the video. This option is turned on by default.
Play Inline: This option allows your video to be played inline within the element’s playback area. However, not selecting this option doesn’t mean that your video will always be played fullscreen.
VideoPress Progress Bar Colors
You can use the Color settings to control the color of the progress bar in the VideoPress player.
VideoPress will automatically default to the Match Video setting, which will allow the progress bar to adapt to the video as it plays. If you toggle off Match Video, you’ll be presented with three color sections to change: Main, Loaded, and Progress.
After you select your desired Progress Bar colors, be sure to click Save Colors. Now, you’ll be able to see and customize your selected colors while previewing them in the player. When you update your page or post, these color changes will be live on your selected video.
Privacy and Rating
These settings allow you to control the video privacy, the video rating, and whether the VideoPress player should include the option to download the video.
Rating: Allows you to select a rating for the video, based on its content.
Privacy: This setting allows you to change whether or not the video is considered Private, for site members only, or Public, for all visitors to your site. For more information, check out our VideoPress: Privacy article.
Allow Download: This allows you to control whether the VideoPress player should include the option for users to download the video.
Advanced
The advanced tab lets you add a CSS class to your block, allowing you to write custom CSS and style the block as you see fit.
Please note that the video player is embedded in an iframe, meaning it’s not possible to style the video player with CSS.
Only the <div> which contains the video player can be styled with CSS.
You can also add an HTML anchor to the block, which lets you link directly to that section of the page.
Video Stats
An overview of the overall video stats can be found within your Jetpack Stats. You can scroll down and find the “Videos” stats:
Clicking on “Video” will take you to the page that shows more statistics:
Impressions: The number of times a video was loaded on the page.
Hours watched: The total number of hours that the video has been watched by all viewers.
Views: The total number of how many times the video was played.
