About

Use the banner capability to display text directly on the player. The banner appears over the video with a semi-transparent background to keep the message readable on any content.

Banners are useful for short notices such as disclaimers, promotions, or alerts.

You can configure a single banner for all entries or display different messages per entry.

Setup

To learn how to set a banner on the player (including per-entry messages), see Enable a banner on the player. 

Features

The banner includes the following options:

• Custom text – Add your own message.
• Text wrapping – Choose whether text wraps to multiple lines or stays on one line.
• Position control – Set the banner’s position on the player.
• Duration control – Choose how long the banner is displayed (timed or full video).
• Viewer control – Allow or prevent viewers from closing the banner.

These options can be configured globally in the player or overridden per entry using metadata.
