Installation Guide for Dynamic Watermark

  1. Enable the dymanic watermark and set the visual configuration in the player settings options on Video CMS. Visit https://dashboard.gumlet.com/video/manage?tab=edit_player

  2. Select options (name, email, user_id) from the Gumlet WordPress plugin settings and save to show them over the video.

  3. Use Gumlet shortcode to embed videos anywhere across WordPress website.

  4. Sample shortcode to use – [gumlet id=653f6137411da17d32e574a5]

  5. Define the width, height of the Embed inside the shortcode – [gumlet id=653f6137411da17d32e574a5 width=800 height=600]

  6. Set audio track and caption language – [gumlet id=653f6137411da17d32e574a5 audio_track_language=en caption_language=es]

  7. Embed videos directly with Gutenberg block

API key (library & upload)

  1. Open your Gumlet account API access and create an API key.

  2. In WordPress go to Settings Gumlet Video and open the API tab. Paste the key and save. Use Test connection to verify.

  3. In the Gumlet Video block, use Browse library to pick a video, or Upload video file to send a file directly to Gumlet (the file uploads from your browser to Gumlet; it is not stored in your Media Library). You can still paste an Asset ID manually.

  4. Only users with the Administrator role can use these features; the key never leaves your server except for server-to-server calls to Gumlet.

Can I upload videos to my Gumlet account from WordPress?

Yes, you can upload files to your Gumlet workspace within WordPress. You can also browse existing videos and embed them within WordPress.

Can I use email and name in the dynamic watermark?

Yes, you can use name, email and user_id in a combination as per your need.

Is it free to use?

Gumlet Video plugin is free to use. However, to use the dynamic watermark on your videos, you would need a Business plan. Learn more about plans here

Why can’t editors use Browse library / Upload?

Those actions call the Gumlet API through WordPress. Only users who can manage_options (typically Administrators) are allowed to use the proxy by design, so the API key stays limited to trusted roles.

Clean, Fast and Reliable Video Hosting for WordPress

By franzese on November 25, 2025

I have been using Gumlet for more than a year across over twenty WordPress sites, and it has made my entire video setup much more professional. The embeds are fast, clean and fully responsive without extra tweaking, and there are no external recommendations or distractions after playback. Managing a large video library is easy thanks to Collections, and the API allows me to automate uploads and updates across all my sites.

Gumlet has become an essential part of my WordPress workflow, and I can highly recommend it to anyone who wants reliable, scalable and distraction-free video hosting.
