Key Features
We have carefully configured our default Player so that you get a clean and uncluttered playback experience, allowing viewers to focus on your video content.
Built for speed
Designed from the ground up with performance in mind, Viostream’s next-generation Player delivers 40% faster load times on average.
Clean look
A new slim, full width progress bar takes up less of your video’s real estate whilst allowing easier control with more precise seeking on desktop and mobile. A transparent control bar and white icons round off the aesthetic the propel the new Player into modernity.
Video Quality Selector
Allow your viewers to choose the video quality from all the available options on the video. Don’t worry, it will automatically select the best possible quality by default. You can choose to hide the Quality Selector as well.
Volume control
Simple volume control allows you to set your desired volume or mute the video if you wish.
Full screen control
Allows your viewers to experience the full benefit of their high definition devices by viewing your videos in full screen mode.
Closed Caption control
Toggle Captions on and off depending on your preference. Available if captions have been added to your video, either manually or through using our premium Captions or automated Captions service.
