A New, Faster Player! 🎉

You now have access to our new player in your Vidalytics dashboard (yay!)
It is much leaner, meaner and converts better in all the testing we’ve done so far.
Some improvements we've seen with it:   
Faster startup times. We're seeing a 30% decrease in startup time,
 which will directly increase your conversions. 
Better video quality
 because of its improved adaptability for “on the fly” internet speed changes (especially good on lower resolutions)
Higher compatibility with all Apple devices (we used core Apple technology in our media engine)
Resolution adapts faster
, starting on the 4th second of your video. So, even if your video starts up in low quality, you will experience the highest resolution on a good connection after the first 3-4 seconds.
How to enable the new player for your videos:
Go to your My Vids page.
Find the New Player toggle to the right of your Vids list. 
Toggle it on (the toggle will turn blue). That's it! 
You can toggle it on / off for any videos in your account. :) 
No republishing is needed
, but be aware it takes up to 15 minutes for this switch to take effect on your website. ;) 
Note: the new player will be less supported by iOS before its 11.2 version (iOS 11.2's is no longer supported by Apple).
In the coming months we’re going to transition all videos to the new player, but we want to give you enough time to test it out for yourself and adjust player code customizations, if you have any. If you have these, you’ll need to make sure they work by the final switch date of January 31st, 2024,
 after which you won’t be able to use our existing player anymore.
