If you are not a developer, do not have developer resources, or prefer a simpler implementation, read [How to embed a JWP](🔗).

## Cloud-hosted
  1. From the [Players](🔗) page, hover over a player name and click the <sup>**…**</sup> icon that appears.
  2. Click **Copy Player Library URL**. The player library URL will be copied to your clipboard.
  3. Within the `<head>` of your page, paste the URL to the player library.

<br />
<hr />
## Cloud-hosted by JWP with API calls
  1. Make a call to `api.jwplatform.com` to list the existing players in your account (`GET /players/list`) or create a new player (`POST /v1/players/create`) . If this is your first time creating (`POST`) an item with the Management API, read our documentation on <a href="/platform/reference/authentication" target="_blank">authentication</a> and <a href="/platform/reference/building-a-request" target="_blank">call syntax</a>.

  1. Locate the `key` in the response, for example: `{key: "aBCdE12G"}`.
  2. Construct the cloud-hosted player library URL with the `key`: `https://cdn.jwplayer.com/libraries/{key}.js`.
  3. Within the `<head>` of your page, copy and paste the URL to the player library.
<br />

<br />

You can also use one of our [client libraries](🔗) to simplify authorization and authentication.

## Self-hosted
The use of a self-hosted JWP library requires an Enterprise license. Please [contact our team](🔗) if you would like to upgrade your account.
  1. From the [Players](🔗) page in the **Self-Hosted Web Player** section select a release version to download from the **Release Channel** dropdown menu.  
    
    After selecting a release channel version the following text updates occur:  
    • The **Released** date below the **Release Channel** dropdown menu displays the release date of the selected channel.  
    • Information and notes specific to the selected release will appear beneath the **Release Channel** dropdown menu.  
    • The version number in the **Download** button at the bottom of the section will update to reflect the selected release version number (**v8.xx.x**).
<br />
  1. Copy the **LICENSE KEY** for the JWP library.
  2. Click the **Download v8.xx.xx** button.
  3. Rename and upload the unzipped library folder to your server. When renaming the folder, remove the periods from the folder name.
  4. Within the `<head>` of your page, copy and paste the URL to the player library and your license key.
