Is there a way to control social and sharing settings on a per video basis? I could only seem to find these controls in the global settings. Thanks.

    Hi Chris

    Thanks for contacting us. Unfortunately there is not currently an option to control which social sharing features apply on a per video basis.

    You can control the video link that is shared when using these features for each individual video by entering the video URL into the box with the title "video URL on your website" underneath your video on the individual video "manage" page and clicking "update". If you do not change this manually the default is to share the link to your public vzaar video page. I have attached an image to help direct you to this part of the video page.

    Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    Kind regards

    Jessica

    Thanks for the response. Being able to control sharing per video is a desirable feature for us as we are supporting multiple websites some where sharing makes sense an others where it does not. If you are accepting suggestions for future features this would be one we would like to see added.

    Thank you.
    Chris

    Hi Chris

    I have just been informed that this feature is actually currently in development, and should be available in the next 2-4 weeks.

    Kind regards

    Hi Jesscia,

    I wanted to check in and see if enabling social and sharing settings on a per video basis is still expected soon? We are rolling out a new site and it would be great to have this control.

    Thanks.

    Hi Chris

    There are still currently no social and sharing settings on the individual video settings page I'm afraid, but it is possible to manually change these settings when using the plain HTML embed code with the Flashvars parameters. Take a look at the following two help pages for more details about this:

    Flashvars Parameters

    Manually Amend Flashvars

    So, for example, if you wished to turn off social sharing altogether you could add the parameter "socialSharing=0,0,0" without the quotation marks to the embed code. Similarly, to turn on all social sharing features for a particular video you would add the parameter "socialSharing=1,1,1".

    Please let me know if you would like any help manually editing your video embed code.

    Kind regards

    Jessica
