This options block controls a settings submenu with social sharing options: copy embed code, copy video link and share video to social networks.
If you are not a developer, do not have developer resources, or prefer a simpler implementation, you can set up social sharing from your JWP dashboard.
Setting an empty "sharing":{} options block will enable the social sharing menu and icon in the control bar. Without the nested config options, it will show the page URL link with default sharing sites, but no embed code.
When a viewer uses this sharing feature, the whole page where the video is embedded is shared. This feature does not share specific playlist items within a playlist.
jwplayer("myElement").setup({
"file": "http://example.com/myVideo.mp4",
"sharing": {
"sites": ["reddit", "facebook", "twitter"]
}
});
