Keyboard and touch

The shortcuts and gestures every player gets, with nothing to configure.

Every player gets these controls. They match YouTube’s, so most viewers already know them.

Media keys and the lock screen

The playing player shows its title and poster on the lock screen and in the system’s media controls. Play, pause, skip and seeking from there, a headset or the keyboard’s media keys all reach it.
