Customizing the video player playback and the UI controls, can offer an optimal user experience, for each use case, and make your videos more engaging.

Some ways to customize a video player include:

• Changing the color scheme of the player controls to match your branding
• Enabling or disabling certain controls, such as the timeline, “stories mode” and fullscreen
• Enabling autoplay and mute settings.
• Settings visuals during the loading phase of the video

By customizing your video player, you can make your videos stand out and better align with your brand. It's important to consider your video content and design, your audience and what features will be most useful to them when deciding how to customize your video player.

You can set those settings directly either from Blings.io Platform, or by passing these as settings to the SDK.
