Verbatim: a player skin you can search by what was said
A player skin where the seek speaks. Hover or drag the line and a card rises from it with the sentence spoken at that moment, read live from the video's own captions, the current word marked in highlighter yellow. Press the slash key or the magnifier and type a word: the line lights up everywhere it was said, with a count, and Enter jumps from one match to the next. The same field takes commands such as 1.5x, cc off or 0:30, and the comma and period keys step one caption at a time. The captions that serve deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers become the search index and the scrub preview for everyone, with no backend, and every seek still goes through Video.js 10's own store.

The Oven
The Oven is a Video.js 10 player you bake with: the film plays in the oven door, the handle plays and pauses, the bread peel is the seek bar and a bench scraper is the playhead.
Dials for volume and speed, an order slip for captions, a wall switch for full screen and a soft night of sound around the film; every part is a standard Video.js control, so it works by keyboard, touch and screen reader.

The bread peel as a seek bar got me. Super fun.
Pull into the drive-in and save three spots for your friends. 🚘
I built LOT 66, a custom Video.js v10 skin for the Contra challenge. Start a live watch room for up to four people and share the invite link. As each friend joins, their car lights up and their name appears above it. Everyone watches in sync.
I wanted the controls to feel like part of the car, so I built them into a vintage dashboard. The radio dial adjusts the volume, the tuning scale lets you scrub through the film, and the dashboard stays within reach in fullscreen.
Now showing the original 1960 trailer for Dinosaurus! 🦖

The bubblegum-pink progress bar gives Peach Pop a friendly little spark. Lovely to see such a light, simple direction for the player.
