Presto Player 2.2: New Preset Options & Design Convienence

We are thrilled to announce the release of two highly requested features in Presto Player, the leading WordPress video plugin.

Show Time Elapsed – A New Preset Option

We’ve heard your feedback, and we are delighted to introduce the “Show Time Elapsed” preset option, available under the behavior settings in Presto Player.

When enabled, this feature displays either the time elapsed or the time remaining for the video directly on the player.

This highly requested feature empowers course creators to provide more context to their viewers, allowing them to easily track their progress and manage their time effectively.

Now, your audience can stay engaged and informed throughout the video playback experience.

Playlist Highlight Color Setting

We understand that each video in a playlist may have its own unique player style. To ensure a consistent and visually appealing playlist experience, we have introduced a new setting that allows you to pass a playlist highlight color to all players within the playlist.

By unifying the player style, this feature adds a professional touch to your playlists and creates a cohesive visual identity for your video content.

Now, your viewers can navigate through your playlist seamlessly, enjoying a visually harmonious experience from start to finish.

Upgrade to the latest version of Presto Player now and leverage these powerful features to enhance your video content and engage your audience like never before.

Presto Player 2.1: Introducing Automatic Video Schema

We are excited to announce a new feature in Presto Player – Automatic Video Schema!

With this latest update, we have integrated video schema functionality into Presto Player, providing significant Search Engine Optimization (SEO) benefits for your videos.

Video schema, also known as structured data or schema markup, is a standardized format that allows search engines to understand and interpret the content of your videos better. It provides search engines with specific details about your video, such as its title, description, duration, thumbnail, and other relevant information.

By adding automatic video SEO schema to Presto Player, you can enhance the visibility and discoverability of your videos in search engine results. Here are some of the SEO benefits you can expect:

  1. Improved Click-Through Rates (CTR): Video schema enables search engines to display rich snippets in search results, including video thumbnails, titles, and descriptions. These eye-catching snippets can attract more clicks from users, increasing your CTR.
  2. Enhanced Video Visibility: With video schema, search engines can understand the context and content of your videos more accurately. This helps them index and rank your videos appropriately, making them more visible to potential viewers.
  3. Increased Organic Traffic: By optimizing your videos with schema markup, you can improve their chances of appearing in video carousels, featured snippets, and other prominent positions in search results. This can lead to an increase in organic traffic to your website.
  4. Better User Experience: Video schema markup allows search engines to provide more relevant video recommendations to users. By leveraging this feature, you can deliver a better user experience and engage your audience effectively.

To take advantage of the automatic video SEO schema in Presto Player, make sure to provide a poster image for each video. This image will be used as the thumbnail in search engine results and helps to attract viewers’ attention.

Upgrade to the latest version of Presto Player now and unlock the power of automatic video SEO schema. Enjoy improved visibility, increased organic traffic, and a better overall SEO performance for your videos!

We hope you enjoy this new feature and look forward to bringing you more exciting updates.

  • New: Add automatic video SEO schema (poster image required).
