See the full Platform Update 7.2. changelog below.

Boost Engagement with the Sticky Player’s Delay Autoplay Feature

With Platform Update 7.2. we’ve introduced a new feature to our player and CMS that allows you to delay autoplay using the Sticky Player feature. By enabling Sticky mode (including Expert Mode) and setting a delay value in seconds, you can customize how long autoplay is delayed. This feature is designed to boost click-to-play engagement on player templates with sticky functionality. For more details, refer to the support documentation

Sticky Player Expert Mode
To enable this feature, go to the player templates section and access the Sticky Player options. Here, you can activate Expert Mode and set both the autoplay delay and delay value.

Turbocharged Sticky Player — Instant, Seamless, Unstoppable

We’ve turbocharged the Sticky Player feature to deliver maximum efficiency and responsiveness. With its updated logic, the Sticky Player now loads instantly as soon as the primary player moves out of the viewport, delivering a seamless transition without any fade animations. This ensures that the player immediately anchors to its pre-selected position, providing a smoother, more consistent viewing experience.

Video Library Revamp

We’re excited to introduce our freshly revamped Video Library! This upgrade makes it easier than ever to find and manage videos, with features like open search for quick discovery, organized categories for easy browsing, and language-based filtering to match your preferences. It’s all about convenience and simplicity making it easier for our publishers to explore and manage content.
