2.0 | Embedding the player in a UIWebView (deprecated)
To embed the player in a UIWebView in iOS, visit: https://developer.apple.com/reference/uikit/uiwebview
3.0 | Enable inline playback & autoplay
To enable inline playback on an iPhone, be sure to set
webView.allowsInlineMediaPlayback = YES;
To use autoplay use the following:
webView.mediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction = NO;
4.0 | Embed your video content
Place a Javascript embed code on a web page. The following script tag is an example embed code. Use the Online Video Platform to generate an embed code for your video content.
Make sure the selected playout has the setting “Force inView actions” enabled (read more about In- & Out View playout settings).
Load the web page in the webview.
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"http://yourcompany.com/demoWebPage"]; NSURLRequest *request = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url]; [self.webView loadRequest:request];
