To resolve this, JW Player implemented a tab in/tab out model. However, having both HTML and Flash controls is not very user-friendly. Since JW Player is both a Flash player and an HTML5 player, it intelligently chooses which one of these rendering modes to do in a given context.

Now JW Player is popular worldwide with leading digital media companies, publishers, broadcasters, and brands.ģPlay Media integrates directly with JW Player to automate the captioning process and allows users to tag videos for captioning from their JW Player account.
