This guide explains how to insert an image, logo, or watermark into your video streams to strengthen your brand image and protect your content from copying or potential misuse.

Add the image to the stream

You can add an image that will appear on your video stream:

1. either from the settings of a Player (free)…
   • The logo is overlaid on the video and will not be visible if the stream is embedded outside of the Player.
2. either by embedding the logo via transcoding (paid option)…
   • The logo is embedded in the video and will be visible in all cases; this requires the complete re-encoding of the stream(s) by a transcoding server, which explains the cost of this method.

In both cases, it is possible to customize the following parameters:

• Position of the logo (in one of the four corners of the player, spacing from the edge, etc.).
• Size of the logo (for example, a logo at 50% will be twice as small):
  • It is recommended to use the native size to optimize loading and rendering quality.
  • In the case of video transcoding, the logo size is calculated in relation to the source video (or maximum quality); the logo will be resized automatically if lower qualities are present in order to maintain the same ratio.
• Opacity of the logo.
