Embedded Video Playback

Overview

To enable our customer users to consume and share UserTesting assets and insights outside of UserTesting platform, we support embedded playback of public UserTesting content in approved partner platforms. Our partners can embed iFrames containing UserTesting Video Player inside their applications or webpages.

Embedded playback of authenticated content is coming shortly

Currently, we support viewing and playback of the following content types:

Sessions
Clips
Highlight Reels

Approved Partners Only

We limit playback of UserTesting content to only approved partners. So any partner domain will need to be whitelisted in the existing approved domain register.

Components

There are 2 main components to UserTesting Embedded Playback.

Embedded Playback Authentication which is required for accessing protected content. When accessing protected content, users will be redirected to UserTesting login page. Upon successfully logging in, users will be redirected back to the video player.
