Enhanced Audio Player Experience

· 2 min read

We're excited to announce significant improvements to Viostream's audio player experience that make embedding audio content simpler and more visually appealing. These enhancements provide automatic, streamlined audio playback options that integrate seamlessly into your websites and applications.

What's New​

Automatic Slim-Line Audio Player​

Your MP3 assets now automatically embed as a clean, minimal audio player through script embeds, providing a streamlined listening experience that fits perfectly into any webpage design.

Key features:

  • Minimal footprint: Compact design that doesn't overwhelm your content
  • Automatic generation: No additional configuration required for MP3 files
  • Responsive design: Adapts to different screen sizes and containers
  • Clean interface: Focus on the audio content without visual distractions

Enhanced Audio Player with Poster Support​

When you've added a thumbnail to your MP3 files, the audio player now displays this poster image, creating a more engaging and professional presentation.

Enhanced features:

  • Visual representation: Display a title slide, speaker photos, or custom graphics
  • Professional appearance: Creates a clean podcast player aesthetic
  • Thumbnail integration: Uses existing thumbnail uploads seamlessly
  • Consistent branding: Maintain visual consistency with your content library

Benefits for Your Audio Content​

Simplified Embedding Process​

Audio content embedding is now completely automated. Upload your MP3 files and they're immediately ready to embed with the appropriate player style based on whether you've included thumbnail artwork.

No Additional Configuration Required​

These improvements are automatically applied to all MP3 uploads, both new and existing. Your audio content will display with the enhanced player experience without any action required from your team.

Getting Started​

To take advantage of these new features:

  1. For slim-line players: Simply upload your MP3 files as usual - the new player will automatically be available for script embedding
  2. For enhanced players with posters: Add a thumbnail to your MP3 asset through the media library, and the player will automatically display it

Both player types are immediately available through your existing embed codes and will automatically update to use the new interface.
