Quick Start

Thanks to the awesome folks over at Fastly, there's a free, CDN hosted version of Video.js that anyone can use. Add these tags to your document's :

<link href="//vjs.zencdn.net/7.8.2/video-js.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="//vjs.zencdn.net/7.8.2/video.min.js"></script>

For the latest version of video.js and URLs to use, check out the Getting Started page on our website.

Video.js version 7 (and newer) CDN builds do not send any data to Google Analytics.

In older versions of Video.js (6 and earlier), in the vjs.zencdn.net CDN-hosted versions we include a stripped down Google Analytics pixel that tracks a random sampling (currently 1%) of players loaded from the CDN. This allows us to see (roughly) what browsers are in use in the wild, along with other useful metrics such as OS and device. If you'd like to disable analytics, you can simply include the following global before including Video.js via the free CDN:

<script>window.HELP_IMPROVE_VIDEOJS = false;</script>

Alternatively, you can include Video.js by getting it from npm, downloading from GitHub releases or by including it via unpkg or another JavaScript CDN like CDNjs. These releases do not include Google Analytics tracking at all.

<link href="https://unpkg.com/video.js/dist/video-js.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://unpkg.com/video.js/dist/video.min.js"></script>


<link href="https://unpkg.com/video.js@7.8.2/dist/video-js.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://unpkg.com/video.js@7.8.2/dist/video.min.js"></script>


<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/video.js/7.8.1/video-js.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/video.js/7.8.1/video.min.js"></script>

Next, using Video.js is as simple as creating a  element, but with an additional data-setup attribute. At a minimum, this attribute must have a value of '{}', but it can include any Video.js options - just make sure it contains valid JSON!

<video
    id="my-player"
    class="video-js"
    controls
    preload="auto"
    poster="//vjs.zencdn.net/v/oceans.png"
    data-setup='{}'>
  <source src="//vjs.zencdn.net/v/oceans.mp4" type="video/mp4"></source>
  <source src="//vjs.zencdn.net/v/oceans.webm" type="video/webm"></source>
  <source src="//vjs.zencdn.net/v/oceans.ogv" type="video/ogg"></source>
  <p class="vjs-no-js">
    To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a
    web browser that
    <a href="https://videojs.com/html5-video-support/" target="_blank">
      supports HTML5 video
    </a>
  </p>
</video>

When the page loads, Video.js will find this element and automatically setup a player in its place.
