**This feature is currently in an 'Open-Beta' status. All studios have this functionality loaded into their account.**

Sometimes customers can't make it to the studio to participate in a class. Don't let that stop you from offering on-demand video classes! zingfit has created a solution for studios to sell and facilitate on-demand class videos.

The functionality is compatible with IFrame, Standard, and Full integrations.

IFrame integrations require no additional web development work for the option to appear in customer accounts.

Standard and Full integrations may require additional development work in order for the customer to gain access to the 'My Videos' section. If you complete your Video-on-Demand set up in zingfit but cannot see the option to view these videos or the design isn't the best, please complete a Client Service request here. Our team is happy to provide additional development so the option works for your integration. When submitting this request, please use the option 'Menu Item Modification'.

A customer will purchase a Series or Contract to access the on-demand video. Once the purchase is completed, the customer will go to the My Account section of the studio website and select My Videos.

The customer will have access to the on-demand video until the series or contract purchased is expired.

Here is an example of how the videos will look in the studio customer account:

Please note we can confirm that YouTube and Vimeo have been verified to work in zingfit' VOD functionality. If you can get your own natively hosted video to work this is amazing, however, the zingfit support team cannot troubleshoot an issue if it is not using YouTube or Vimeo.

Navigate to Admin > Site Content > Video On Demand > + Add Video-on-Demand.

Name: Name of the video you are uploading. This name will be visible to your customers

URL: Embed URL for the video. Below are steps on how to access these URLs

YouTube:

When the video you wish to upload is pulled up in YouTube, grab the URL in the address bar. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pKly2JojMw

Replace the "watch?v=" part with "embed/", but leave the rest of the URL as it is. Example: https://www.youtube.com/embed/4pKly2JojMw

Vimeo:

When the video you wish to upload is pulled up in Vimeo, select the paper airplane icon to 'Share. View the Embed Code. Copy the Embed Code to a notebook or notepad. Highlight the video embed URL and copy the code, then paste into the 'URL section'. Here is an image to show you what URL you are trying to grab

Once the fields above have been completed, save! You've just created a new video access point for your customers. Once they purchase the applicable series or contract, they will gain access to the video in their customer account!

Because zingfit cannot host these pre-recorded videos, we suggest using YouTube, or Vimeo Steps above will walk you through how to access the Embed URL for each provider.

Please note that if you are attempting to use any provider outside of the ones listed above, zingfit support cannot help with making it work but you are more than welcome to try it if you want!

What if my video is private on YouTube?

If you embed a private video URL, you will need to inform your customers that they will need to log into YouTube to view the video. Please note, that as a private video owner, you will need to mark each customer's YouTube email address to ensure they have access.

Understanding the troubles this may cause, we do not encourage you to embed private YouTube videos.

Unfortunately, Dropbox is not supported with zingfit's VOD.
