reEmbed
reEmbed is a customizable video player for websites that supports YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, and HTML5 video. Users can select a player style, add a logo, and choose colours. The maker says setup involves pasting one line of code and does not require coding skills; existing YouTube embeds on a site can be replaced automatically with the reEmbed player. Its cloud-hosted player includes analytics for plays, completions, shares, impressions, and viewing locations. After playback, recommendation widgets can show a gallery linking to pages on the user's site that contain embedded videos. The service can alert users when a YouTube video is blocked or removed and suggest alternatives when possible. Custom players can be embedded on third-party sites or shared on Facebook and Twitter. The HTML5 player works on iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile devices. A free player plan is listed at free. The pricing page text provides no plan prices or limits, and users can upgrade after creating an account. Service support is available by dedicated email.
