Video Player
Better playback, delivery, and controls with Wistia’s HTML5 video player
The Wistia video player is optimized to provide the best video playback and viewer experience even before you press play. With support for high-resolution videos and adaptive streaming with HTTP live streaming, we prioritize viewer engagement and delivering the best quality for any environment and connection speed.
Easy to implement
Adding videos to your website is super easy with Wistia’s lightweight embed codes. We keep the code snippets small, so they’re easy to embed and the videos load lightning fast.
Responsive and mobile-friendly
Our responsive player optimizes your videos for mobile viewers by scaling to fit any screen size. Wistia videos play inline on mobile to keep the focus on your content instead of distracting from your site. Whether your viewers are watching on desktop or mobile, all of your customizations will work consistently.
Customizable
Increase engagement by tailoring the player to match your brand colors and selecting the most compelling thumbnail with our Customize tools. You can enhance and control your video content by adding chapters, password protection, or a Call to Action, to create your own custom video player.
Adaptable
Wistia lets your audience choose how they want to watch your content. With adaptive streaming, viewers can take control of their viewing experience with options to change playback speed and video quality — all the way up to 4K.
Flexible
Our Player API allows you to customize the video player for any environment. Change the appearance and controls to suit your needs. Make the player your own.
Interactive
Connect with your audience with our interactive video tools. Use Turnstile, Calls to Action, or Annotation Links to collect leads, build relationships, and keep viewers engaged.
Social-friendly
Post your Wistia videos to any social network, and they will play seamlessly. You can also enable social sharing within the player, so your viewers can easily share your content with their own networks.
Accessible
The Wistia video player is fully compatible with screen readers. Viewers can use keyboard shortcuts, like tabbing, to control the player. Your video will be accessible to everyone.
