Video.js is a web video player built from the ground up for an HTML5 world. It supports HTML5 and Flash video, as well as YouTube and Vimeo (through plugins). It supports video playback on desktops and mobile devices. This project was started mid 2010, and the player is now used on over
50,000100,000200,000400,000 websites.
Thanks to the awesome folks over at Fastly, there's a free, CDN hosted version of Video.js that anyone can use. Add these tags to your document's <head>:
<link href="//vjs.zencdn.net/5.19/video-js.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="//vjs.zencdn.net/5.19/video.min.js"></script>For the latest version of video.js and URLs to use, check out the Getting Started page on our website.
In the
vjs.zencdn.netCDN-hosted versions of Video.js we include a stripped down Google Analytics pixel that tracks a random sampling (currently 1%) of players loaded from the CDN. This allows us to see (roughly) what browsers are in use in the wild, along with other useful metrics such as OS and device. If you'd like to disable analytics, you can simply include the following global before including Video.js via the free CDN:<script>window.HELP_IMPROVE_VIDEOJS = false;</script>Alternatively, you can include Video.js by getting it from npm, downloading from GitHub releases or by including it via unpkg or another JavaScript CDN like CDNjs. These releases do not include Google Analytics tracking at all.
