With these many integrated features, JW Player 6 truly is a great value. All features work in both HTML5 and Flash, so you never have to worry about compatibility.
When you enable Social Sharing, viewers can post your video to their blog or social network when they see something they like. They just press a button to copy your embed code or video link. For Facebook and Twitter they can post with a single click. Try it and watch your content go viral!
Related Videos lets you make video recommendations to your viewers. At the end of a video (or when someone presses the “related” button) thumbnails appear with video suggestions that automatically load into the player when selected. You can create related videos for every entry on a playlist.
The JW Player 6 plugin to Google Analytics allows you to understand how well your video content performs online by tracking events within the JW Player. Information such as which videos are watched and completed is aggregated and passed along to GA so you can view it in your reports.
Captions can transform the accessibility of your video by letting it show up in search results. You can display multiple closed captions or subtitling tracks for a given video, choose from multiple languages, and style your captions any way you like. Captions are read from external text files like WebVTT or from MP4 embedded data.
Playlists let you play multiple videos in succession from the same video player. JW Player 6 supports the most commonly used mRSS playlist format, and configuring the playlist display is easy!
With our cutting-edge HD Switching, new in JW Player 6, video quality can be adjusted on the fly depending on available bandwidth. Viewers can also toggle between high definition and standard definition versions of your videos. This remarkable feature supports playlists, YouTube and streaming.
JW Player 6 comes with a free account containing your personal analytics dashboard. Log in to view your daily video streams on every domain hosting your video. Use our Video Analytics to get insight into what works and what needs work.
For a change from our default skin, JW Player 6 gives you eight built-in skinning options. You can also do your own skinning and branding with our easy-to-use skinning model. No experience necessary!
If you know a bit of Javascript, you can create your own video–page interactions and make your player talk to other web content and applications. JW Player 6 abstracts any differences between HTML5 and Flash, so you develop a single codebase for desktop and mobile. And of course, JW Player 6 is open source, with awesome documentation and one of the largest developer forums in tech.
