Host lesson videos on Bunny Stream

Connect your Bunny library

Bunny Stream is a video host you pay for yourself; the plugin calls it a few dollars a month. Once it’s connected, videos members and you upload go straight from the browser to your Bunny library.

1. 1

   Open Video settings

   In your community, open Community settings, then Video. No Bunny account yet? Use Sign up at bunny.net under the choices.

2. 2

   Choose Bunny Stream

   Next to This site, choose Bunny Stream. Three boxes appear.

3. 3

   Copy your library’s details

   In Bunny, open Stream, then your video library, then API. Copy the Video library ID, the CDN hostname (it looks like vz-1234abcd-56.b-cdn.net) and the library’s API key into the matching boxes.

4. 4

   Save

   Press Save changes at the bottom of Settings.

Protect video links (optional)

Good for paid courses. With protection on, a copied video link stops working after about 6 hours, so it can’t be passed around outside your community.

1. In Bunny, open Stream, your video library, API, Pull Zone, Manage, Security, then Token authentication, and turn it on.
2. Paste its key into Protect video links, and save.

When it’s on, the box says so. To stop, press Turn off beside it, and turn off token authentication in Bunny too, or videos will stop playing.

Add the webhook, then test

Under Webhook URL (optional, recommended), press Copy and paste it into your Bunny library’s Webhook URL setting. New videos then show up the moment Bunny finishes getting them ready.

Last, press Test connection. It works once your changes are saved. When it’s connected, it says how many videos your library has, and whether links are protected. If something’s wrong, it says what to check, like the API key or the library ID.
