After you have uploaded your video and it has finished processing you want to publish it. Depending on your what your technical environment looks like, this can be done in different ways.
Embed
The most straightforward way is to copy the embed code of the video and paste this into an HTML editor of the website where you want to publish the video. You find the embed codes to copy-paste or drag and drop in Console on the media page or in the media list.
You can modify the look of the embedded video in additional pages:
- Publish
In the Publish page you can change the behavior of the player in your embed codes.
- Appearance
In the Appearance page you can customize poster image, logotype and player behavior.
- Distribution
In the Distribution section you can export and manage the exports of the video to YouTube, Facebook, Linked etc, in the Distribution section is also where you can find a list of any clones made from the video.
Moderation
You can toggle moderation states using the moderation icon, bulk actions or drop down menu on overview page.
Moderation icon
The moderation icon can be found below the video preview on media overview page and on the media list, it has three variations representing the three states (explained below), a question-mark ('?') representing unmoderated, a checkmark representing approved and an 'X' representing not approved.
Moderation states
Moderation states are used by the API to manage what content is meant to be shown to viewers. If you have a Quickchannel video site connected to your account, all videos that are set to Approved will be published on the video site.
The moderation states may also be used by Console users to determine whether media is approved for usage. This usage of moderation status is only suggested, whether it is used is completely up to your workplace and how you have decided to use the Console in your workflow, it is not enforced by Quickchannel.

Not approved
- Not public to the APIs
