How do I get video on my site?

• They will be given to you by your publishing success manager
• You access them via your provided Publisher’s Dashboard

A Sample STN Embed Code (highlighted numbers will be individual to player type and publisher)

<div class=’s2nPlayer-XXXX6789’ data-type=’full’></div><script type=’text/javascript’ src=’//embed.sendtonews.com/player2/ embedcode.php?fk=XXXX6789&cid=1234’ data-type=’s2nScript’></script>
