    Does this automatically replace the default WP player or do I need to edit my theme or use a shortcode? Also, does it automatically create thumbnail for self hosted videos?

    If you are currently using the default WP player, then we have options that will changeover the video delivery on those existing videos over to using the optimized encodes delivered from our global network. So no need to re-edit a bunch of pages with existing video.

    If you are using a template though, it wouldn’t be hard to modify the template to instead use our full video player although that is up to you.

    We provide short codes as well as Gutenberg, Divi, Beaver Builder, and Elementor widgets for any new videos you add.

    How would I use your player in a BuddyPress installation?

    If Buddypress is using the standard Classic editor, then our widget will be shown for users.

    You can also configure auto-conversion of both YouTube and Vimeo embeds within our plugin, so it would cover for when users embed either of those as well.

    I am not clear as to how to use your player on BP. BuddyPress is using the standard player that comes with WordPress. Will your player automatically replace it?

    It won’t automatically replace their player.

    We do have functionality that will adjust the delivery that their player uses to stream it from our global network instead of your WordPress library.

    If you are able to modify the templates, then you could change BuddyPress to output our shortcode instead of the WP player. That is up to you though.
