How to store your videos on Publitio and deliver them via SmartVideo

  1. Upload your video to Publitio (using the default privacy settings).

  1.  Once the video is finished uploading, click Copy URL.

3a. If you are using our WordPress plugin, simply paste the copied URL in the Video source field (the gif below shows how this is done using our plugin with the new WordPress editor).

3b. If you are not taking advantage of our WordPress plugin, or are on another CMS platform entirely, simply use the URL you copied in step 2 as the source in a SmartVideo tag.

And that’s it! 🎉

A few moments after previewing or publishing the page, SmartVideo will download, encode, and store your video on our global delivery network. We recommend keeping the file stored in Publitio in case the video is removed from your website by mistake.
