Hi,
first of all, thanks for building and maintaining Fireshare — it's a really great and clean solution for sharing videos.
I wanted to ask if it would be possible to add support for a dedicated iframe embed endpoint, similar to how platforms like YouTube or PeerTube handle embeds.
Current situation
Right now, shared videos (e.g. /w/) can technically be embedded via iframe, but:
The full page UI is loaded (not optimized for embedding)
There is no minimal player-only view
Layout and controls are not ideal when embedded in other platforms (e.g. wikis like BookStack)
Feature request
It would be very useful to have a dedicated route like:
/embed/
or similar, which:
Shows only the video player (no surrounding UI)
Is optimized for iframe usage (responsive, minimal layout)
Optionally supports parameters (e.g. autoplay, controls, start time)
Optional considerations
Explicit support for embedding via proper headers (Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors)
Possibly an “Embed” button in the UI that generates ready-to-use iframe code
Ability to disable embedding per video (for privacy/security)
Example iframe usage
<iframe
src="https://example.com/embed/"
width="100%"
height="400"
allowfullscreen>
</iframe>
Use case
Embedding Fireshare videos into internal documentation systems (like BookStack) or other web tools without exposing the full Fireshare interface.
Thanks for considering this feature!
