To streamline your workflow and bypass the manual dashboard process, use this URL shortcut to generate custom video links instantly.
Step 1: Swap the Domain
Take any YouTube URL and replace youtube.com with killerplayer.com
Step 2: Add the "Magic" Suffix
Add /vimeo/hd to the very end of the URL. What this does? It tells our engine to automatically apply the Vimeo theme and set the resolution to HD.
You aren't limited to a single look. You can trigger any of our 5 premium skins by swapping the [SKIN_NAME] variable in your URL.
| Skin Parameter | Visual Style |
| vimeo | Minimalist, high-end aesthetic. |
| wistia | Clean, marketing-focused look. |
| viddler | Classic, robust player interface. |
| vzaar | Professional enterprise-grade styling. |
| tara | Modern, sleek, and high-contrast. |
Step 3: Execute and Embed
Visit the modified URL in your browser while logged in. This triggers the engine to generate the unique video link. Once loaded, copy the video URL from the browser-bar and paste it into the <iframe> source code which remains the same for all of our videos.
