Integrate SproutVideo with Bitly

100% in cloud video platform. Uncompromised quality, long-term storage and scale.

Bitly is a short link service that takes long web addresses and makes them into short ones. Shortening links helps to promote sharing of content on the Internet. The shortened links are known as bitlinks or bitlys.

The integration of SproutVideo and Bitly is made possible by means of their API. This integration enables users to create long URLs for their videos. It further allows users to shorten the URLs of the videos before distributing them. The shortened URLs can then be used in social networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, etc. There are various ways through which the integration of SproutVideo and Bitly can be implemented. Some of the ways are briefly discussed below:

An email address can contain a URL link to a certain video. The user can shorten it with Bitly after inserting his or her username and password. To do this the user only needs to click on the ‘Create’ button on the right side of the Bitly window. He or she should next enter a title for the video that he or she wishes to shorten. He or she then should paste into it the URL of the video that he or she wishes to shorten. He or she should click on the ‘Create’ button which will then redirect him or her to Bitly where he or she should click on ‘Link your account’ if he or she does not have an account or if he or she wishes to change his or her username. He or she should then enter his or her username and password to log in to his or her account. He or she should click on ‘I agree’ after reading the terms of use. He or she should then click on ‘Get started’ which will then lead him or her to the dashboard page where the short links are displayed. He or she should then click on ‘Start creating links’ which will display a list of his links at the left side of the screen. He or she should then click on it to view all his links. In order to shorten a certain link, he or she should copy the link from the website and paste it into the box labeled ‘Paste a link here’ under ‘Shorten a link’ option on the right side of the screen. He or she can then choose a title for the video that he or she wishes to shorten. He or she then clicks on ‘Continue’ which will then lead him or her to another page where he or she can adjust the visibility settings. He or she can then click on ‘Short URL’ which will redirect him or her to the homepage which contains the URL of his shortened video as well as a brief description of it as well as its original URL. His friends will now be able to access the same video by clicking on the shortened URL as well as its title which they can easily recognize from among those displayed on the homepage.

SproutVideo benefits from this integration because users can now easily generate short URLs for their videos and distribute them through email address, social networks, etc. Thus they can further increase their number of viewers as well as improve their ranking in various search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.

Bitly benefits from this integration because it becomes easier for users to access their videos from their website through shortened URLs as well as titles which make it more user friendly and convenient for them to find their videos easily.
