Overview
VIDIZMO’s entire portal is nothing but a lay-out of various web components intricately stitched together in a seamless fabric of HTML and CSS. All of these web components are JavaScript-based rich application controls that can be incorporated in any website which allows you to browse your VIDIZMO portal and stream digital content all within your own website site.
VIDIZMO authorizes the use of widgets on your portal via Widgets Integration app that needs to be enabled, without which VIDIZMO Web Components may not render on your website. This article will guide you on how to enable the widgets app in your portal and generate an API key which will be used to perform administrative actions on your site such as authentication and adding users to your site.
