About
Kaltura's Audio Player is tailored for audio tracks, while also supporting VOD and Live media entries. For VOD and Live media entry types, the player plays the audio track, omitting the video. Its slim design ensures a small footprint, resembling a miniature version of the normal player.
With essential controls and limited height, it focuses on delivering a seamless audio playback experience. In addition to the controls, it displays only the title, description, and thumbnail of the current entry.
Customize its appearance with Dark or Light mode, or personalize colors using our convenient color picker tool. Need to match your brand perfectly? No problem! Just input your custom color.
