Updated over 6 months ago

This cutting-edge player maximizes user engagement by delivering an experience that rivals the best video-focused social media platforms.

For Vertical players, you will see the following options and caveats when setting up a Player:

  1. Aspect ratio will be locked to 9:16;

  2. Carousels and Theatre Mode are not available;

  3. You will be able to define floating behavior but not floating style.
