Online video player

Cinema8 videos can be embedded on most websites and CMS platforms using a standard embed code. Whether you're using WordPress, Webflow, HubSpot, or a custom-built site, you can place your Cinema8 video player exactly where you need it.

Embedding works seamlessly with Cinema8’s branding and interactivity features, allowing you to deliver a fully customised experience without disrupting your existing site structure. Book a demo of our tools today to start exploring our video player’s capabilities.
 

Cinema8’s video player supports both subtitles and closed captions. You can upload caption files to accompany your videos or generate subtitles with AI, making your content more accessible and easier to follow, especially in silent viewing environments or for viewers with hearing impairments.

Subtitles can be enabled or disabled by the viewer, and are compatible across devices and browsers. This makes it easy to support multi-language audiences or meet accessibility requirements without altering the original video.

Cinema8’s video player lets you apply your own branding and customise key visual elements without needing to write any code. You can upload your logo, adjust player colours, modify playback controls, and set a custom thumbnail to align with your brand. You also have control over how the player is embedded across your website or internal platforms.

This ensures a consistent, professional viewing experience, whether you’re hosting marketing content, client-facing videos, or internal training materials.

Cinema8’s video player is fully ad-free, meaning your content is never interrupted by third-party advertising. This helps keep viewers focused on your message rather than distractions. Security is built in at every stage, with enterprise-grade encryption, ISO 27001-certified infrastructure, and options like password protection, domain-restricted access, and DRM support. These features ensure that your videos stream smoothly while remaining protected from unauthorised use or downloads. 

With Cinema8, you can deliver a professional playback experience that balances both viewer engagement and robust security. Explore our plans and start using our secure, ad-free video player today.

Once your video is uploaded to Cinema8’s platform, you can generate a secure shareable link to send directly by email, chat, or embed on your website. The video player works across browsers and devices, ensuring your audience can watch without installing extra software. 

You can also configure security permissions such as password protection, domain restrictions, or time-limited access, so you control exactly who can view your content. This makes sharing easy while keeping your brand and security requirements intact.

An online video player works by detecting the device and browser being used, then delivering the video in the most compatible format and quality. Most modern players rely on technologies like HTML5 and adaptive streaming protocols to ensure smooth playback, whether the original file is MP4, WebM, or another supported format.

If a player supports adaptive bitrate streaming (such as HLS or DASH), it can automatically adjust video quality based on the viewer’s internet speed, reducing buffering and improving the overall experience.

Cinema8’s video player supports widely used formats including MP4, AVI, MOV, as well as adaptive streaming, ensuring reliable playback across browsers, devices, and connection types. To learn more about format compatibility and delivery options, contact our team.

A secure online video player should give you control over how your content is accessed, shared, and embedded. Common security features include password protection, domain restrictions, embed control, and secure streaming protocols that prevent unauthorised downloads or external linking.

For businesses, especially those sharing internal training, paid content, or client resources, it’s also important to manage who sees what and ensure the player cannot be misused outside of approved environments.

Cinema8 offers a secure player experience with access management tools designed to help you protect your content and carefully control the viewing experience. Browse our plans or speak with our team about the range of features we can provide.

The best online video player for your website ultimately depends on what you need it to do. Some businesses prioritise fast loading speeds and responsive playback, while others need advanced features like branded video content customisation or access control.

If you're looking for a player that can be fully customised, embedded across your site, and enhanced with interactivity such as lead gen forms, pop-up cards, or CTAs whilst providing data tracking, a platform with enterprise-level tools is the best fit.

Cinema8’s video player is designed for teams that want control, flexibility, and engagement. You can personalise the design, add interactive elements, control viewer access, and track performance; all without writing any code.
