For the most recent news regarding the SproutVideo Player, please refer to this blog post<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

We\u2019re happy to announce the release of a new version of the SproutVideo video player. This new player will give our users greater control over the look and feel of their players. Keep reading for more details about what’s new.<\/p>\n

New Player Updates<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. We\u2019ve updated the look of the player to be more modern and streamlined.<\/li>\n
  2. The player color is now customizable. This allows you to match the player to your site and branding.<\/li>\n
  3. There are three options for how the video appears before the video starts. You can have a large play button over the poster frame (the default option). Or, you can display the player controls along the bottom of the poster frame so that none of the poster frame is obscured. As a third option, you can hide controls entirely, and autoplay the video.<\/li>\n
  4. We\u2019ve added a menu to allow viewers to select different resolutions of the video for their playback. By default, the player will launch on Auto, and will adjust automatically throughout the viewing session according to the speed of the viewer’s connection.<\/li>\n
  5. You can also selectively choose to hide the settings button, the volume bar, the seek bar, the fullscreen button, or even the entire toolbar.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here’s an example of the new player in action:<\/p>\n
