What’s new in JW Player Compatibility for AMP 0.5
Version 0.5 · Oct 23, 2020
Latest
- NewFeature Added: Added JW Player Premium shortcode support.
What it does
AMP pages follow strict rules about which scripts and elements they can load, and that often breaks third-party video players. If your site uses JW Player and you serve AMP pages through AMPforWP, your videos may not appear correctly on the mobile versions. This plugin closes that gap by rendering JW Player content in a way that fits AMP requirements, so the videos you publish on your regular pages also show up on their AMP counterparts.
The plugin is built for AMPforWP users and does not require coding to set up. It supports JW Player shortcodes, including the JW Player Premium shortcode, so content you already embed that way can carry over to AMP. Player controls and skins can be customized to match your site, videos adapt to different screen sizes, and adaptive streaming adjusts quality for varying network speeds. It also works with the WordPress media library for managing your video files.
Best for
- Publishers using JW Player alongside AMPforWP
- Bloggers who embed videos and serve AMP pages
- Media companies with video-heavy mobile audiences
