Video JS

From HTML5 Video

Jump to: navigation, search

Library Introduction

VideoJS is an HTML5 Video Player with 3 core parts: An embed code (Video for Everybody), a Javascript library (video.js), and a pure HTML/CSS skin (video-js.css).

Using Video for Everybody as the embed code means you know it’s compatible with many devices (including ones without javascript).

The javascript library fixes browser & device bugs, and makes sure your video is even more compatible across different browser versions.

The pure HTML5/CSS skin ensures a consistent look between HTML5 browsers, and easy custom skinning if you want to give it a specific look, or brand it with your own colors. See the skins page for examples of custom skins.
