Configuration

The Vidyard plugin adds a federated search source to Brightspot that lets you search and select Vidyard videos without leaving the CMS. Before videos are available, a site administrator must configure an API token in Site Settings.

Configuring Vidyard for a site​

Each site can connect to a separate Vidyard account by providing its own API token. You can also configure a global fallback that applies to any site that does not have its own configuration.

Site-level configuration​

To configure Vidyard for a specific site:

  1. Click > Admin > Sites & Settings.
  2. From the Integrations tab, expand the Vidyard cluster.
  3. In the API Token field, type the admin-level API token for the Vidyard account.
  4. (Optional) From the Number of Videos to Load Each Request dropdown list, select a batch size: 10, 25, 50, 100, or 200. The default is 50.
  5. (Optional) In the Cache Timeout field, type the duration in milliseconds for which API responses are cached. The default is 300000 (five minutes).
  6. Click Save.

Global fallback configuration​

The global configuration applies to any site that does not have a site-level Vidyard API token set.

To configure a global Vidyard fallback:

  1. Click > Admin > Sites & Settings > Sites > Global.
  2. From the Integrations tab, expand the Vidyard cluster.
  3. Complete the fields as described in the site-level configuration steps above.
  4. Click Save.
note

Site-level settings always take priority over global settings. If a site has its own API token, it uses its own Vidyard account and an isolated cache.
