How to upload a video to JW Player

How to embed a video into Keystone with JW Player
Similar to how Brightcove works, once the video has been uploaded to JW, when you click ‘Add Media’, you can search for the video from JW:
Alternatively, you can paste the media ID (you’ll be able to see this when viewing an asset) directly from the JW Platform using the shortcode format (make sure to place the below within square brackets):
jwplayer key="MEDIA-ID-FROM-JW-HERE"
For featured videos, you can either use the Media popup to search/insert or simply paste the media ID into the field.
How to disable preroll on a video with JW Player
Previously, you were able to disable video within the Brightcove platform. With JW, this sits with our Ad Ops team. To have preroll disabled from a video/page, send the page to tiuktraffic@ti-media.com.
