This topic covers how to configure the player end screens.

Players can be configured so that an end screen will be displayed when a video ends. The end screen can be configured to show the replay and sharing icons or can be customized to include HTML. A custom end screen is shown below.

Icons are displayed to allow the viewer to replay the video or share the video out to popular social media sites.

  1. Open the Players module.
  2. Click the link for the player you want to configure.
  3. Click End Screens in the left navigation menu.

  4. Select the Player End Screen option. The following options are available:
    • None - No end screen will be displayed
    • Social - Display the social sharing dialog when video ends
