How to Share a File and Embed the Player in Maestra Studio

The Share button in the Maestra Studio editors opens a panel with two tabs. Share invites people to a file by email. Embed gives you a player that you can paste into your own website or blog, with subtitle or voiceover options.

What you need before you start

Share a file with people

  1. Open the file and select Share in the top bar.
  2. On the Share tab, type one or more email addresses in People (marked 1).
  3. Check Who has access (marked 2) to see who can already open the file. Your own account is marked (me).
  4. Select Send (marked 4), or Cancel (marked 3) to close the panel.

Embed the player on your website

The embed player lets you show a video from Maestra Studio on your own blog or website, with subtitle or voiceover options. When you change the file in Maestra Studio, the embedded player updates too.

  1. Open the file and select Share, then open the Embed tab.
  2. Turn the switch (marked 1) from Embed sharing off to Embed sharing on.
  3. Copy the code in the box (marked 2). It is an HTML snippet that uses an iframe, 560 pixels wide and 315 pixels tall by default.
  4. Paste the code into the page on your website where the player should appear.

Turning embed sharing off stops the player from being shown on the pages that use the code.
