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

Add the image to the stream

You have the possibility to add an image that will appear on your video stream:

1. either from the configuration of a Player (free)...
   • The logo is superimposed on the video and will not be visible if the stream is embedded outside of the Player.
2. or 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 the loading and quality of the rendering.
  • In the case of video transcoding, the size of the logo is calculated based on the source video (or maximum quality); the logo will be automatically resized if lower qualities are present to maintain an identical ratio.
• Opacity of the logo.
