Playloom never phones home. Your viewers stay yours.
Every project I worked on needed a video player, and every time it was the browser's default controls or a heavy embed full of someone else's branding.
Playloom is the player I wanted: the controls everyone already knows, styled to fit the site, in one small script.

Yes. It works on plain HTML, so it works anywhere a <video> tag ends up, including WordPress, Webflow and any framework.
Playloom works with any source the <video> tag can play. HLS streams work in Safari natively and elsewhere with hls.js. It doesn't wrap YouTube embeds.
Add a standard WebVTT <track> to your video. Playloom adds the CC button and styles the captions.
Yes. Playloom is MIT licensed. A paid hosted version with analytics is planned, but the player itself stays free.
