Step 1. Log In to the LeanIn Dashboard
Step 2. Select the the “Add a Network…” Link
Step 3. Enter the name and OVP (CMS) for your network. If you don’t have an OVP use the SocialPlayer CMS. Also, if your network adds any additional information like an API Token enter that information into the appropriate boxes. Finally, if the location of your API (Meta Data Service) is different from what is originally populated, you can change the Metadata Service URL.
Step 4. That’s it! If you see a message that says “Network Created Successfully”, you are done. Now add some videos.

Javascript embed


Step 1. Paste the following code into your HTML.

    <div id="leanin-player">
      <script type="text/javascript" src="http://api.leanin.com/js/kalturaLoader.js"></script>
      <script type="text/javascript">	
        LeanInPlayer.width = 480;
        LeanInPlayer.height = 300;
        LeanInPlayer.apiKey = '{API_KEY}';
        LeanInPlayer.networkMediaID = '{ENTRY_ID}';
        LeanInPlayer.embed("leanin-player");
      </script>
   </div>

Step 2. Replace the placeholders {API_KEY} with your LeanIn API Key and {ENTRY_ID} with the Kaltura video’s entry_id.
Step 3 (Optional). Customize the height and width. You can change the width and the height by modifying the attributes LeanInPlayer.width and LeanInPlayer.height (They can be any HTML values i.e. 50% or 250px).
Step 4 (Optional). You can also customize where the player will appear on your page using this method. To do this, simply replace LeanInPlayer.embed(“leanin-player”) with LeanInPlayer.embed(“mydiv”), where mydiv is any div on your page. Through this you can separate the javascript code and the HTML code.
