These themes modernize the look and feel of your video player, improve clarity, and drive higher engagement on CTAs and overlays — all without changing your video content.

Both themes support customization options like corner radius and opacity for in-video overlays, helping you match the player UI to your brand or funnel aesthetic.

The Player Themes feature is also closely integrated with the Progress Bar (part of the Sleek theme).

🚫 Restrictions:

Sleek Theme is only available starting with our Pro Plan and up.

How to Use Player Themes

  1. Open your video in Vid Settings.

  2. Navigate to Style → Player Theme.

  3. Under Theme, choose between:

    • Classic (default)

    • Sleek (Pro+)

  4. Adjust:

    • Corner Radius slider

    • Opacity slider

  5. Preview your theme in the embedded player.

  6. Publish your video to apply the theme to all embeds and links.

Classic Theme

A refreshed version of the existing player design — keeping the style you know while making it cleaner, sharper, and more modern.
Updates include:

  • Cleaner and more readable fonts

  • Refined colors

  • Improved spacing

  • Sharper icons

  • Polished hover and interaction states

Classic is set as the default theme for a seamless transition for existing videos.

Sleek Theme

A brand-new, modern player design built to match the updated Vidalytics UI and today’s minimalist web aesthetics.
The Sleek theme includes:

  • Minimal lines and lightweight controls

  • Bold, clean typography

  • Subtle, elegant animations

  • Modern control layouts

  • Optimized mobile-friendly appearance

  • Native support for the new Progress Bar feature

This theme is built for marketers who want a more premium and refined viewer experience.

Corner Radius Control

Control how rounded your in-video overlay elements are:

  • Fully sharp, 0px

  • Soft and modern, subtle rounding

  • Fully rounded, pill-style buttons

Great for matching your site or funnel’s brand style.

Opacity Control

Set the transparency level for in-video overlays:

  • Low opacity for a subtle, cinematic look

  • High opacity for bold, high-conversion CTAs

  • Balanced transparency for captions-first videos

This allows your video content to shine while keeping CTAs readable and conversion-driven.

Notes:

  • The new Progress Bar requires the Sleek Theme and the updated Player version.

  • All other theme controls (corner radius, opacity) are available across both themes.
