MSNBC.com recorded another personal best for video streaming.

Citing its launch of a new online-video player in December, the news network said it garnered 125.7 million on-demand video streams in March on top of a record-setting November for streams on the site.

MSNBC introduced a player that allows other sites and blogs to embed its videos.

According to the network, February Nielsen//NetRatings numbers showed that it is the top site in total video streams and No. 1 in time spent with videos at 36.8 minutes per month by more than 7 million unique video users.
