Adding a Zeacon Video Widget to your website is a straightforward process that can enhance your site's engagement by displaying videos seamlessly. Follow these steps to integrate the widget effectively:

1. Access the Settings Page

Begin by logging into your Zeacon account. Once you're on the dashboard, locate and navigate to the Settings page. This is where you'll manage all your widget configurations.

2. Choose the Widget Option

In the Settings menu on the side, click on Widget. This section allows you to create and manage all your video widgets.

3. Create a New Widget

On the Widget Settings page, select the Create New Widget button. This action will initiate the process of setting up a new video widget for your website.

4. Name Your Video Widget

Provide a distinctive name for your video widget. Naming it appropriately will help you identify and manage it easily, especially if you plan to have multiple widgets.

5. Specify the URLs

Enter the URL(s) of the pages where you want the video widget to appear or be hidden. Ensure that these URLs correspond to websites where Zeacon is already installed. This step links the widget to the specific pages of your site.

6. Add More URLs if Needed

If you wish to include the widget on additional pages, click the + Add URL button. This allows you to input more URLs without creating separate widgets for each page.

7. Use Wildcards for Multiple Pages

To display or hide the video widget across multiple pages within a domain or subdirectory, add an asterisk (*) at the end of the domain or subdirectory in the URL. For example:

  • website1.com/* will apply the widget to all pages under website1.com.

  • website2.com/blog/* will apply it to all pages within the blog section of website2.com.

8. Finalize the Widget Creation

Once you've configured the URLs and any additional settings, click the Create button. This action completes the creation of your video widget.

9. Publish a Video to Make the Widget Visible

After setting up the widget, it won't appear on your specified URLs until you publish a video to the video player from your Zeacon library. Ensure that you upload and publish a video to activate the widget on your website.

By following these steps, you can effectively add a Zeacon Video Widget to your website, enhancing your content and engaging your visitors with dynamic video presentations.
