About
Enabling and configuring the Sharecdnurl module allows users to generate a CDN URL for entries in Video Portal. Once embedded in an external page, allowed users can view the player in a full screen in an external browser and play the content.
This guide explains how to enable and configure the sharecdnurl module in the Configuration Management console.
This module is for both Theming and non-Theming users.

Once enabled and configured for non-Theming users, the ShareCDNURL option appears as an additional tab - Share CDN URL - added to the Entry page.
