Embedding video software

EmbedPlus allows users to seamlessly and freely upgrade video embeds with useful features that the standard player does not currently offer. Given a YouTube link it will generate enhanced embed code that adds features such as DVD-like controls, internet reactions, third-party annotations, and more. EmbedPlus can usefully offer viewers more content without having to actually alter original the video.

Real-time reactions can be incorporated so that viewers can access internet reactions inside the player. It is currently showing YouTube comments and Twitter feeds, with more platforms to be added soon. EmbedPlus also has a movable zoom function that dynamically magnifies the area user point the cursor over. Added accessibility can benefit many users viewing small embeds and screens.

Other features include: slow motion on-demand, scene skipping by inserting chapter buttons to mark multiple events and then simply reference scene numbers in discussions. Third party annotations allow users to add timed comments to any video to display titles, captions, scene labels, and side comments during playback. The control bar displays the text to avoid blocking the video screen and distracting viewers.
