Everything a media player should have done all along.
Play from any source, structure long content, measure what viewers watch, capture leads, protect your files, and keep pages fast — all from one plugin
One player for every
source you already use.
Stop juggling a different embed for every host. TruePlayer plays video, audio, and podcasts from wherever your files live — with a single consistent, branded player and one shortcode.
Structure long content
so people actually finish.
Break videos into navigable chapters and string them together into playlists that keep viewers moving through your library — without ever leaving your site.
Know exactly what your audience actually watches.
Drop-off heatmaps show second-by-second where viewers leave. Completion, unique viewers, and watch- time trends live right in your WordPress dashboard — no external analytics account required.
Turn passive views into action.
Add interactive layers that fire at any timestamp — capture emails, drive clicks, highlight products, or run promotions, all without stopping the video.
Email gate
Pause playback at a chosen timestamp and collect the viewer’s email before they continue. New subscribers flow straight into GemCRM, Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or ActiveCampaign — no Zapier in between.
Timed CTA overlays
Show a button, download link, or product offer at the exact moment engagement peaks. Every CTA click is tracked so you can see which timestamp converts best.
Clickable hotspots
Drop interactive markers inside the frame to point viewers at key areas or link out — all without interrupting playback or leaving the player.
In-video ads & offers
Surface promotional content at specific points during playback to monetize your library, without the intrusive pre-roll experience viewers hate.
Protect your content.
Respect your viewers.
Keep premium video behind a login, stop links from being shared, watermark every stream, and load nothing third- party until the viewer presses play. Your content stays yours; their privacy stays intact.
Fast by design. Not by accident.
Most WordPress video plugins were built features-first and retrofitted for speed. TruePlayer was engineered the other way around — so pages stay fast no matter how many videos you embed.
Ultra Lightweight
Built to stay lightweight, so your pages load fast without unnecessary overhead. Enjoy faster performance, smoother browsing.
True lazy loading
Nothing loads until the player scrolls into view. Your LCP score stays clean regardless of how many players sit on the page.
No render blocking
Deferred, asynchronous asset loading. TruePlayer never holds up your page render — even on a slow 3G connection.
HLS adaptive streaming
Bitrate adjusts in real time to the viewer’s connection — smooth playback with no buffering and no manual quality switching.
Smart poster images
A crisp thumbnail shows first; the video file only downloads on click — keeping pages fast even with 10+ embeds.
CDN-optimized delivery
Serve media from the edge closest to each viewer with Bunny.net, Cloudflare, and AWS — for the lowest possible latency.
Built to serve every viewer — and every developer.
TruePlayer meets accessibility standards out of the box and gives agencies and developers the branding and API controls they need to ship faster.
Accessibility built in
WCAG 2.1 AA compliant with full keyboard navigation and screen reader support. Every control is reachable and announced — no extra configuration.
Multi-language captions
Upload subtitle files in any language. Viewers switch tracks from the player without pausing— perfect for global audiences.
Playback speed control
From 0.5× for detailed walkthroughs to 2× for skimming long recordings — viewers choose the pace that fits.
White-label modebuilt in
Remove all TruePlayer branding and apply your own logo, colors, and skin. Every viewer sees your brand, not ours.
Full REST API
Manage players and pull analytics programmatically at json/trueplayer/v1/ — ideal for headless WordPress builds.
Multisite & presets
Save branded presets, reuse them across projects, and run TruePlayer network- wide on multisite installs.
