Embed ScreenPal videos on WordPress using oEmbed links

oEmbed is an open standard format that enables you to easily embed ScreenPal videos and images on external websites by pasting a URL.  WordPress automatically converts this link into HTML, eliminating the need to copy and paste longer embed codes.

Add ScreenPal as an oEmbed Provider

Before you can add ScreenPal embeds to your WordPress pages, you need to add ScreenPal as an oEmbed provider within your theme's functions file. You will only need to do this once.

1. From your WordPress Dashboard, do one of the following:

1. If you are using a Classic Theme, go to Appearance > Theme File Editor.
   
2. If you are using a Block Theme, go to Tools > Theme File Editor.

2. From the sidebar on the right, click Theme Functions (functions.php).

3. Add the ScreenPal oEmbed snippet to the functions.php file, on its own line:

add_action('init', function () {

    wp_oembed_add_provider(
        '#https?://go\.screenpal\.com/(watch|player)/[A-Za-z0-9]+#i',
        'https://go.screenpal.com/oembed',
        true
    );

}, 1);

Tip: You can simply this snippet to the bottom of the file if you like, just above the closing '?>' tag.

4. Click Update File to save your changes.
