You may have noticed that vzaar has a brand new, fresh look today - it is all part of a new release of player and user settings that are all designed to give you greater control over the presentation of your business videos.
All the following new features can be found in the Settings Page once logged in. From there you can decide which settings will become your default options when uploading new videos.
High Definition (HD) Player
vzaar now stream High Definition video files. That means today you can now choose to stream your video in small, medium and large players or really impress your customers with High Definition presentation.
Borderless Player
You can now opt to have your videos stream without the player border.
Border Colours
If you still want the border, you can now select from a variety of coloured borders so that you have the player that matches your website or company branding.
Auto Play
If you want your video to start automatically as soon as it is loaded then you’ll want to use the new Auto Play feature.
Brand Text
Instead of the plain, unbranded player, you can now choose to add your own branding text to the video. This will be displayed from the bottom left hand corner of the player. That text can also be directed to a website URL of your choosing (e.g. your own website)
We also now offer all users the chance to select the video and audio quality that matches your needs.
Video Quality - Standard FLV H.263
This option will decrease the bit rate of the video and the overall file size. If you are seeking to reduce your monthly video bandwidth then this option is recommended.
Video Quality - High MP4 H.264
This option has a higher bit rate which leads to an overall larger file size but it offers the highest video quality. When uploading HD content you must select this option.
Audio Quality - Standard 128kbps
This is the recommended audio option which is sufficient for most videos and is comparable to a standard mp3 quality.
Audio Quality - High 256kbps
If you are looking for high quality audio then select this option.
If you are on the Free or Lite packages you can upgrade to these features instantly by logging in at our Pricing Page.
In addition there are a host of other small tweaks and changes aimed at ever improving the user experience. We’ve added file sizes to all uploaded videos, you now have a more detailed accounts and usage page and its possible to now sort videos by date as well as by views and title.
In the coming week the team will focus in more detail on each of these new features but for the meantime we really hope you enjoy the new look and feel to your vzaar videos. If you have any questions or feedback please don’t hesitate to contact us via the new look Contact Form.
