Embedding Clips

Put your social proof video clips directly on your website, blog, or landing page. MentionFox generates a lightweight embed code that works on any site.

Getting the Embed Code

1. Go to Content Tools > Video Clips and find the clip you want to embed.
2. Click the Embed button (the code icon).
3. A modal appears with the embed code. Click "Copy" to copy it to your clipboard.

The embed code looks like this:

<iframe src="https://mentionfox.com/clips/abc123" width="100%" height="auto" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Where to Paste It

Paste the embed code into any HTML context:

• Website HTML -- paste directly into your page source where you want the video to appear.
• WordPress -- use a Custom HTML block in the Gutenberg editor and paste the code.
• Webflow -- add an Embed element and paste the code.
• Notion -- use the /embed command and paste the clip URL (not the iframe code).
• Email -- most email clients do not support iframe embeds. Use the share link with a thumbnail image instead.

Responsive Sizing

The embed is responsive by default. It scales to fill the width of its container while maintaining the correct aspect ratio. If you need to constrain the size, wrap the iframe in a div with a max-width:

<div style="max-width:600px"> ... embed code ... </div>

Customizing the Player

You can append URL parameters to the embed src to customize behavior:

• ?autoplay=1 -- starts playing automatically (muted, per browser requirements).
• ?loop=1 -- loops the clip continuously. Good for background social proof on landing pages.
• ?controls=0 -- hides the play/pause controls for a cleaner look.
• ?color=F27A3A -- sets the player accent color (hex code without the #).

Performance

Embedded clips are served from MentionFox's CDN with lazy loading enabled. They do not impact your page load speed -- the video only starts downloading when the embed enters the viewport. Typical clip sizes are 2-8 MB, and the player streams progressively so playback starts within 1-2 seconds on most connections.

Analytics

Every embedded clip tracks views, play rate (how many visitors actually hit play), and average watch time. View these stats in your clip library under the Analytics tab. This data helps you understand which clips resonate most with your website visitors.
