Export to Platforms

Stornaway.io is flexible and open, so you can publish your stories to Stornaway’s amazing player on the web, and embed it on your own site.

You can also export it as a SCORM package for an LMS.

If you’re an enterprise customer, you can host the player and projects on your own servers or we can also integrate our interactive editor and overlays with your existing video players and hosting.

SCORM for LMS (Learning Management Systems) 
Stornaway.io projects can be downloaded as a SCORM Zip package. “Export SCORM for LMS” is a special feature which enables you to export a SCORM Zip package – with the player hosted on our servers, but embedded in a package that’s compatible with Learning Management Systems and set up to track scores, completion, pass/fail and interactions. Enterprise customers can include the whole player inside the package – please contact us for more details if you’d like to know more.

Take it offline for trade shows, conferences and events: With an enterprise partnership, your Stornaways go wherever you do. NDF packages your project to run fully offline at trade shows, conferences and events.

Enterprise partner already? Let’s set it up. Not yet? Let’s fix that.

Interactive Cinema / Movie Theatre Live Screenings
Export your interactive film as an executable app that can be run on a cinema or movie theatre’s projection system. Viewers can control the outcome by mobile voting, but by far the best experience for audiences is for them to vote with their hands, using glowsticks! Contact us for more details.

Integrate our interactivity into your video player
Stornaway.io was designed as a universal authoring tool, and we provide integrations with third-party video players and VOD platforms. If you’re a producer or a TV technology partner looking for a solution, we can solve your authoring and interactive delivery problems while keeping your existing player and hosting – contact us for more details.

Stornaway.io allows you to embed your story on any web page, just like a YouTube or Vimeo player.

When you publish a story in the Stornaway player, “Enable Embedding” is ticked by default.

After publishing, go to your player page and click the Share Video button underneath the player (see 1 in picture below).

A popup box will appear with the Embed code (see 2 in picture below).

Select and copy this, and put it into any web page, or any platform that allows you to insert HTML or iFrames like YouTube and Vimeo embed codes.

1. How to share your Stornaway.io story on social media

When you publish your story, it will be given a unique public URL.

For example:
https://player.stornaway.io/watch/2e7fa24e

Just copy & paste this into Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook.

Twitter and LinkedIn will let people play your story directly in the timeline. Facebook will link to it or open it in an overlay, depending on whether it’s in desktop, mobile or app. Instagram still doesn’t let you use links in posts, so everyone uses the link in the account’s profile and says, “link in bio”.

2. Making a button in your Stornaway story that posts a message on social media

If you want to include a link in your video that shares a message to Twitter or Facebook, you can make a button link to an External URL (see FAQ above) and then use a URL that creates a pre-written post – see instructions below:

To create a pre-written Tweet with a custom message, use the format:

http://twitter.com/share?text=your+words+separated+by+plus&url=yoururlhere&hashtags=yourhashtag

For example this link creates a Twitter post that says, “Get started with the amazing Stornaway” and includes a link to the video with #interactivefilm as a hashtag.

(There should be no line break in the link, even if the browser is showing you one here)

Facebook and LinkedIn no longer allow the pre-writing of custom messages the way Twitter does.

To create a pre-written Facebook post, use the format:

https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=yoururlhere

For example, this link creates a Facebook post that autofills the image and link to your story.

To create a pre-written LinkedIn post, use the format:

https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=yoururlhere

For example, this link creates a LinkedIn post that autofills the video player.

99.9% of our customers use the Stornaway player hosted on our servers and embedded on their site – in the same way as you can embed a YouTube player.

For those enterprise customers who need to host everything behind their own firewall for security or enterprise compliance reasons, we provide a solution for you to host the player, media and projects on your own network.

If you’d like to know more, please get in touch.

You can embed your project on any website using the Embed code that you find on the Export page after you publish your project – with the files and player hosted on our server.

Interactive films and videos can’t be exported as a single video file – there’s no mp4 style file format that contains interactivity.

A Stornaway project is like an app – it’s a collection of clips connected with special player code that knows how to handle the onscreen buttons and hotspots as overlays.

But there are various other formats we support – as above on this page, you can export as a SCORM package for Learning Management Systems, and you can host the player yourself on your own network if you’re an enterprise customer.

Read the notes above about other platforms and get in touch to ask more questions.
