Lightweight integration

Please enable the PRO option Services / Poster before the player creation and use new PlayerjsPoster({}) instead new Playerjs({})

let player = new PlayerjsPoster({id:"player", file:"URL", poster:"URL", postericon:1});

There you can use an image or a short mp4 video (it will be played when you hover over).

You can also pass postericon:1 to display the launch icon in the center. You can add the posterplay:0 option if you don't want to start automatically on click. You can add the posterscale:0 option if you don't want to scale the poster on hover.

API

You can also use JS API, just call the player via global variable playerjs[id]

playerjs["player"].api("play");

Youtube

You can specify a YouTube video poster like this:
