Presets are sets of the player settings. They include customization options of colors, buttons, behavior, proportions, playback and many more.

Editors & authors may use all created presets in every uploaded video.

Default preset is applied to all newly uploaded videos. You can set any preset as 'Default preset'.

Video controls — how player interface elements are appearing

Interface space — should be elements of the player shown only inside player placement or they can be 'Out of player'. This option is not used right now and reserved for future developments.

Playback Style

Player dimensions — Proportions and size of a player. Basically, a player is flexible and takes the proportions of the played video. For the width, the player always gets the full width of the article if not placed in a controlled div element.

• Smartfit option shows vertical videos on Mobiles and limits them by square area on Desktop to not to be too big on the screen. Horizontal videos showed as they are both on Mobiles & Desktop.
• As video option makes the player to repeat video played video proportions.
• 16/9, 4/3, Square fix player proportions as selected.
• Fill page element — Player exactly fits to div it placed in

Sound start — How sound is started. Basically, all autoplayed videos are started muted. We don't recommend to autoplay videos with sound as they can be blocked by some browsers and it is annoying users. For the videos started manually you can choose should they be with or without sound.

Video click behavior — Action when a visitor clicks the video. Viqeo settings mean that Viqeo platform decides what to do by default. Right now it is a pause/play but in future, it can be changed based on our best practice experience. If you want to fix this action you can select other options.

The strategy of view — how adaptive streaming works.

• Optimal — Videos are shown with optimal quality on the desktop without reducing video stream even when an internet connection is weak, but on Mobiles video quality may be decreased if visitor connection is not good.
• Quality — Videos are shown in optimal width but never reduce quality even if loading spinner is shown.
• Speed — This strategy trying to load videos as fast as internet connection allows.

Video start — how videos are started.

100% Visible — Videos are started automatically

After the video is finished — what to do after the video is finished.

• Loop — video plays from the beginning. So looped videos never stop. This is the most popular option for short videos.
• Show the last frame — video stops when the last frame is reached. No fade-offs, no elements. The best way to show 'Animated images' When you want to animate something which becomes an image at the end.
