How VidShare embeds work on Zowned

If your video is hosted on a VidShare paid plan, you can use the VidShare embed output on Zowned the same way you would use a supported video embed. Zowned can render supported VidShare embeds similarly to YouTube embeds, giving creators another option for showing video content on the site.

For members comparing hosting options, this means you can keep using YouTube or choose to host your video on VidShare and publish it through Zowned when that workflow fits better.

Why this is useful

More flexibility for creators who want an option beyond YouTube.
Another hosting choice for site owners and community members sharing video content.
Cleaner control over embedded videos when using VidShare paid plans.
A smoother publishing workflow for members already hosting video on VidShare.

How to use it

  1. Upload or host your video on VidShare with a paid plan that includes embedding.
  2. Copy the embed code or embed-ready video URL from VidShare.
  3. Paste it into the Zowned embed workflow when creating your post or content.
  4. Publish on Zowned and let the embedded player render similarly to a YouTube embed.
