This feature is available at the Ning Pro level. Ning Plus networks with previously-uploaded content will be able to retain that content, but will not be able to upload new videos. All Ning plans include the ability to embed videos from other online sources into their networks.

The Videos feature on your Ning Network allows you to upload videos and share them across the web. You can use the bulk media uploader to add up to 30 videos at a time to your profile page, or embed videos from popular video services like YouTube and GoogleVideo. The Videos page below displays featured content, along with member-generated videos complete with ratings and view counts.

If you are on the Ning Pro plan, your Ning Network comes with a branded video player widget. It promotes your Network and encourages people to check it out and join. Your Ning Network’s branded video player widget is a great and easy way to spread the word about your Ning Network, and you can embed it externally into almost any other website out there. You can share it on Facebook or MySpace or add it to one of 15 other services in just one click, or you can grab the embed code and paste it into your own website or blog.

As the Network Creator, you have full control over which videos appear on the Main Page of your Ning Network and how they’re displayed. You can also choose to approve new videos before they’re published on your Ning Network. Finally, you can take advantage of your video player widget, which is fully customizable. You can add a background image and pick colors for your Ning Network badges and widgets.
