The PhotoShelter Video Player

PhotoShelter’s video player includes a robust set of tools designed to streamline your organization’s video workflow and provide viewers with an accessible video player to engage with and view videos in your organization’s Portal. Library Staff can upload and manage captions for video files, set custom video thumbnails, edit video metadata, and use Workspaces to collaborate with team members throughout all stages of a video project. 

Users can adjust streaming quality and playback speed, toggle between multi-language captions, and use hotkeys to take actions within the player.
