In their brand colours
The controls pick up Brave's own blue, and their logo sits in the corner.
Your films should play on your own website, in your colours, and start almost as soon as someone presses play.
Video hosting, looked after by Epiphany
Every film on this page is streaming through Gumlet, the platform I've been hosting client films on since early 2025. They're We Are Brave's films, and Sara and Rhi, who run Brave, were happy for me to show them here. So press play on your phone and see how quickly they start.
Here's how a full-length film looks in the player
This is The Brave Manifesto, all three minutes of it. If your screen and your connection can take it, you're watching it in 4K. The player is in our steel blue and the only things on screen are the film and its controls. Press CC if you'd like the captions on.
One film, set up four different ways
These are all the same upload of What This Is Not. The only thing that changes is a handful of settings in the embed code, so your site can use one film as a quiet background on one page and a full player on another, without anyone uploading it twice.
disabled_player_control=settings · disabled_player_control=volume · …
Only the basic controls
You just get play, the progress bar and full screen, so nobody ends up fiddling with settings.
loop=true · background=true
Quiet, for the top of a page
It loops with no sound and no controls, which is the setting I'd use behind a headline.
t=30
Starting part way in
This one skips the first 30 seconds, for when you want to send someone to one particular moment.
Try it yourself
Change the settings and the player and the code underneath it change with them. That little block of code is all your web developer needs, and if you haven't got one, we'll put it on your site for you.
Embed code
<div style="position:relative;aspect-ratio:16/9;">
<iframe src="https://play.gumlet.io/embed/6ad0b2831494de025eddb160?player_color=%234884a8"

</div> Portrait clips stay portrait
If you post short 4:5 clips on LinkedIn, they can live on your site too. They keep their shape, and the captions stay burned in exactly as they went out.
Why they usually start quickly on a phone
When a film is uploaded, Gumlet makes a set of copies at different sizes, from 240p all the way up to 4K for these films. The player picks the one that suits the screen and the connection, and it keeps adjusting as the signal changes, which is why a film will usually keep playing on a train even when the signal comes and goes. Here's what it made from the Brave films.

Some films are only for certain people
Training, board updates and client-only work need to stay with the people they're made for, and there are a few ways we can do that.
- Each film can be public, unlisted, private, or behind a password.
- Films can be allowed in some countries and blocked in others.
- We can lock a film to your own website, so the embed won't play if someone copies it somewhere else.
- For the most sensitive films, we can add links that stop working after a set time, encryption, or a moving watermark with the viewer's details. These usually cost extra on Gumlet, so we'll talk it through first.
You'll see how people watch, and where they stop
Every film comes with its own numbers: views, unique viewers, how long people watched, the countries and devices they watched on, and a heatmap of where they skipped ahead or dropped off. And if you know who's watching, say a client who's logged into your portal, their views can be tagged with their name.
What I'll look after for you
- Uploading and processing every film, up to 4K.
- A player in your colours, with your logo on it if you'd like.
- Captions on every film.
- Privacy settings that match who each film is for.
- The embed code for every place a film appears, or we'll add it to your site for you.
Getting started
- Book an Explore call and tell me what films you've got.
- Send me the files, or a Drive link, and I'll get them uploaded and set up.
- Once you're happy with how each one looks and plays, it goes live on your website.
If you've got films sitting on a hard drive or tucked away on YouTube, I'd love to help you get them working on your own site. Book an Explore call, or just email me at kevan@epiphanycontent.com.
