Introducing Player.style — Video and audio player themes for every player

What's this blog post about?

Video.js, launched in 2010, was designed for developers to customize player controls using web technologies instead of Flash. Despite its widespread use on sites like Twitter, Instagram, Amazon, and LinkedIn, the default controls were rarely customized. The introduction of React and Web Components led to the development of Media Chrome, which provides both Web Components and React Components for building video player UIs. Player.style is a collection of Media Chrome themes that can be used across all major web players and UI frameworks, allowing developers to easily customize their media player with just HTML and CSS.
