# Video embed options

MediaLab allows you to embed your files directly, so there’s no need to re-upload them elsewhere.

### Embed Types

- **Iframe with player** – Generates HTML code to embed the MediaLab player on your site.
- **Theater page** – A link to the full Theater page, which can be used in iframes or as a redirect.
- **Social media** – A link optimized for sharing on social platforms.
- **Preview** – Direct URL to the file’s preview.
- **Thumbnail** – Direct URL to the file’s thumbnail.
- **File** – Direct URL to the source file.

### Video Embed Parameters

When embedding videos or animated GIFs, you can control playback behavior by adding parameters to the iframe URL.

**Note:**  If `player_nocontrols` is enabled without `player_autostart`, the user will not be able to start the video.

**Example iframe URL:**

```

```
