About this plugin
Sato Video Player is a no-code HTML5 video player builder for WordPress. You can visually build a branded video experience and embed it on WordPress sites. With 80+ customizations to control how the player looks and the embedded video behaves on the site, it is a powerful tool to ensure the video player looks like an intentional part of your design.
Sato Video Player comes with cloud storage and a delivery infrastructure which enables you to store and host videos directly from your Sato Player account to wherever you embed the player. This reduces the extra step of hosting your videos separately and then linking it to a player and makes it easier to manage and monitor your videos from a single window.
Sato also comes with video marketing tools designed specifically to engage and convert viewers into buyers. Be it shoppable call-to-actions or sponsored ads, run it within your videos, straight from the Sato Video Player WordPress plugin.
