Video.js Settings Screen

-------------------------- ``` The values set here will be the default values for all videos, unless you specify differently in the shortcode. Uncheck “Use CDN hosted version?” if you want to use a self-hosted copy of Video.js instead of the CDN hosted version. _Using the CDN hosted version is preferable in most situations._ If you are using a responsive WordPress theme, you may want to check the _Responsive Video_ checkbox. Uncheck the _Use the [video] shortcode?_ option **only** if you are using WordPress 3.6+ and wish to use the [video] tag for MediaElement.js. You will still be able to use the [videojs] tag to embed videos using Video.js. ## Screenshots * [[ * Settings and options * [[ * Video Pro – Skin Builder ## Installation This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. 1.
