The Watch Page is a landing page that we create for every video that you add to Spotlightr. It's a great way to quickly share you video content with your audience without having to embed it somewhere. It's also used to preview your video as you configure it.

It's customizable so you can control certain parts of the page.

Here is an example Watch Page with the default Spotlightr settings. As mentioned above, the page is very customizable.

Customization options for your Watch Pages are done via the theme level for the most part. There are also a few options on the individual video level as well.

Here is what you can edit/change for each Watch Page at the theme level:

  • Page Title, Logo, and Favicon

  • Header background color

  • Headline font family, font size, and font color

  • Show/hide the plays count just underneath the player

  • Show/hide video title just underneath the player

  • Video background color

And on the individual video level:

  • The content of the headline

  • Add optional content underneath the video (HTML enabled editor)

You can also completely disable the page from working if privacy is important to you and you only want the embed code to work.

This is done via your Theme as well. Navigate to your Theme >> Security >> Disable Watch Page:


Customize the URLs of Watch Pages

Use a custom domain for the URL of the Watch Page. This enables you to use a domain of your own instead of using cdn.spotlightr.com. Check our custom domain article for instructions.
