Cinema8 makes embedding videos into your WordPress site straightforward. You can use the generated embed code to place videos directly into posts, pages, or custom layouts. The videos remain hosted securely on Cinema8’s platform but stream seamlessly on your site, maintaining quality and performance while giving you control over design and placement.

Cinema8 provides domain restriction settings that ensure your videos only play when embedded on your chosen WordPress domain. This is ideal for member-only areas, gated resources, or client-exclusive materials. By limiting playback to your site, you safeguard your content and maintain exclusivity without sacrificing accessibility for approved audiences.

Cinema8 videos are optimised with adaptive streaming, CDN delivery, and a responsive player, so they load quickly and play smoothly on any device and website. The lightweight embed code is designed to minimise impact on page speed, helping you maintain strong SEO performance while delivering a smooth viewing experience for visitors.

Before embedding your videos into WordPress, you can enhance them with Cinema8’s interactive video tools such as clickable hotspots, lead capture forms, quizzes, and branching paths. These features work exactly as they do within Cinema8’s platform, allowing you to deliver engaging, interactive experiences without leaving your WordPress environment.

Cinema8’s embed codes are built with structured data markup, making your videos SEO-friendly from the start. This helps search engines understand your video content, improving the likelihood of higher rankings. Enhanced metadata also improves click-through rates, bringing more engaged viewers to your WordPress site.
