Connect JW Player and Rev Accounts
Below are the steps you need to take in order to connect your Rev and JW Player accounts.
If you need help, please email support@rev.com.
Ensure your Rev account has a payment source
Please note: you will not be able to place orders using the JW Player integration if you do not have a payment source.
There are two ways to add payment:
- Add a credit card on the Account Billing Settings page
- Fill out this form to become a corporate customer - you'll be billed monthly at the end of the month.
Add a New Linked Account on Rev.com
In your Rev Account Settings page, scroll down to Integration Settings and click on Link New Account.
Select JWPlatform as the account type.
Input JW Player Credentials
Log in to your JW Player account and navigate to the API Keys page via the menu at the top of the screen.
Click Show Credentials.
Copy the Key and Secret from your JW account to your Rev account as API Key and API Secret.
Input Remaining Settings
Decide whether you want to turn Auto Pull Mode on - you can change this at any time.
- Pull all videos - If you select this option, all videos updated in your JW account will be submitted to Rev for English captions. If you would also like global subtitles for your videos, you will need to select default languages in the Subtitles field.
- Pull only videos tagged with 'rev' - If you select this option, you will need to manually tag videos in your JW account to submit them to Rev for English captions or global subtitles. See the selection below for instructions on tagging your videos.
Click Link to finish setting up your JW Player integration. Your Rev account is now connected to your JW Player account and you are ready to submit JW Player videos to Rev.

You're all set. JW player will look for new orders every hour. Once the video has been received by Rev, the tag will change from rev-fr to rev-fr-placed.
Receive your captions and/or subtitles
When your order is complete, the tag will change from rev-es-la-placed to rev-es-la-completed.
The captions and/or subtitles will be automatically delivered to the video in your JW Player account. You can also view and edit the files from your Rev account.
