I think the [plyr.io](http://plyr.io) (first time seeing it) is pretty awesome. I’d also like to point out that major video hosters that report on analytics have very open APIs for this that we’re able to do a lot with the system and the player api, see:

- Vidyard, [https://knowledge.vidyard.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019034753-Using-the-Vidyard-Player-API](https://knowledge.vidyard.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019034753-Using-the-Vidyard-Player-API)
- Vimeo, [Vimeo](https://developer.vimeo.com/player/sdk)
- youtube, [https://developers.google.com/youtube/player\_parameters](https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters)

I think we can all agree that having videos in iframes in 2022 works, but isn’t necessary. I think allowing developers to customize the expereince would be really great.  
I can’t sell people on HubSpot video because all the other players do it better. We should fix this!
