Get it. Open Integrations, the WordPress tab. Buy a licence (yearly, renews automatically unless you switch that off) and press Download the plugin. One licence covers up to three sites; Release all sites frees them when you move.

Install. In WordPress: Plugins, Add New, Upload Plugin, choose the zip, Install, Activate. Then Settings, KolReel: paste a personal API token (Integrations, API & AI) and your licence key, and Save. The page shows which KolReel account is connected.

Use. The KolReel menu in WordPress lists your finished videos with their shortcode. Paste it into any post or page (a Shortcode block works):

[kolreel id="VIDEO_ID" script="yes" title="yes" autoplay="no" vertical="no"]

Self-hosting. Import to Media Library downloads the MP4 into WordPress (the script is kept with it). Add local="yes" to the shortcode to play that copy from your own site.

If the licence expires, videos stop showing until it is renewed and admins see a notice.
