Watcher – Flexible Video Player for Elementor

Watcher is easy to use WordPress plugin for Elementor to integrate a video player in a few clicks. It is perfect for your products/service demonstration, presenting yourself or your company, infomercials, testimonials, demo, or whatever you need to be shown. A video can play an essential role in any marketing strategy, no matter what business you are in. Add unlimited players to your website as single tracks or playlists.

The Watcher plugin supports both self-hosted video files and external links like Youtube. Configure the playback according to your requirements. Each player’s control can be managed and ordered using straightforward layout settings. The widget offers to show playlists with individual settings of title, description, thumbnail and sources for each video. You can also display a poster for your video at the start, end, or pause to make it more catchable. It comes with a chaptering feature that will help users better understand the content of the video as well as improve navigation. Feel free to add an unlimited number of videos to one page without worrying about chaotic sound as the widget includes the option of pausing other players when the selected one is enabled. Various configurations offer to use keyboard control, set the initial volume, display as live video and many other useful features.

To better understand the capabilities of the widget, we included 5 templates in the package. These are just some examples that can inspire you to create your style. It provides you with a quick start in a few clicks.

The player supplies flexible style settings so you can get exactly what you want without any compromise. Change the color, typography, width and height, background color, border, margins, paddings and others for each control. All this can be configured directly from the Elementor’s interface and does not require additional code knowledge.

The Watcher WordPress plugin for Elementor is exceptionally compatible with all modern browsers. It does not matter which browser users view your site: Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, or Edge. Everything will look great on all devices and in all browsers.
