OVHcloud Video Center

बिबरन

OVHcloud Video Center wordpress plugin lets you upload, manage, and embed videos to the OVHcloud Video Center platform — all without leaving WordPress.

Key features:

• Upload videos with a progress bar directly from the admin dashboard.
• Manage videos — list, search, edit titles & tags, and delete from a card-based grid.
• Embed videos using shortcodes or the Gutenberg block editor.
• Classic Editor support — TinyMCE toolbar button for easy shortcode insertion.
• Responsive player — iframe embeds that adapt to any theme.
• Multipart upload — files larger than 50 MB are uploaded using the multipart protocol for reliability.
• Secure — nonce verification, capability checks, input sanitization, and masked API key storage.

Shortcodes:

• [ovhcloud_vc_gallery] — Displays a YouTube-style mosaic of video poster thumbnails. Clicking a thumbnail opens the video in a modal player.
• [ovhcloud_vc_video id="vod_xxx"] — Embeds a single video player.

Gutenberg Block:

External Services

This plugin relies on the OVHcloud Video Center third-party service to manage and deliver video content. The OVHcloud Video Center API is required for the plugin to function.

What the service is used for

The OVHcloud Video Center API is used to upload, list, edit, delete, and embed videos hosted on OVHcloud’s video platform.

What data is sent and when

• API Key — sent with every API request for authentication.
• Video files — sent when you upload a video from the WordPress admin dashboard.
• Video metadata (titles, tags) — sent when you create or edit a video.
• Requests to list or delete videos — sent when you browse or manage videos from the admin.
• Embed requests — when a visitor loads a page containing a video embed, their browser requests the video player iframe from OVHcloud’s embed servers (e.g. embed.eu.videocenter.ovh.net).

The API endpoint is configurable in the plugin settings (default: https://api.eu.videocenter.ovh.net). No end-user personal data is collected or transmitted by this plugin beyond standard browser requests for the embedded player.
