π΄ FluentPlayer Pro launches tomorrow. Join me LIVE & AMA
The wait is almost over.
Tomorrow I'm going LIVE to launch FluentPlayer Pro to everyone. This is our new flagship product, and I want you there when it happens.
The free version went out just a few days ago and 1,000+ websites are already running it. Tomorrow you will see what the Pro version can really do.
Here is what I have planned for the stream:
- The full Pro walkthrough. Lead capture inside your videos, engagement analytics, smart CTAs, and a few things nobody has seen yet
- The roadmap, where we are taking FluentPlayer next
- Live AMA, ask me anything
- And a special launch-day announcement I'm saving for the stream π
π Date & Time: 08 July 2026, 14:00 (UTC)

Want to see everything it does first? Full feature list is here: https://fluentplayer.com/
If you have been waiting to do more with video on your WordPress site, this is the day. See you there!
PS: Already using the free version? Comment what you would love to see in Pro. I might answer it live.
Recently, Vimeo has added an expiry date/time to their "embed only" videos, which has resulted in a completely different URL. This new format doesn't work on FluentPlayer, so you may want to get in touch with them, and also use that expiry date to perhaps show it more prominently on the player interface itself.
Awesome! Will there be special pricing for agencies?
Andrew MilesΒ yes. Definitely.
surely this means we can easily upload an audio file for playback in Fluent Community?
Bones McGgrawΒ yes. Most probably within this month.
Shahjahan JewelΒ I'll be honest in that we are finding Fluent products very useful, but the very fact that we can't just attach an audio file for playback in fluent community makes me feel like we're in 1996. It's such a basic functionality. I've spoken with many membership site owners including at the Retain conference and everyone is blown away that this is a problem. There are so many reasons as to why this is an essential feature, especially for those in the music and audio space.
Bones McGgrawΒ Totally agree - also with general attachments. I am running courses and use FluentCommunity for activities, but uploads straight into a reply are so essential.
Shahjahan JewelΒ I hope this time is true. We have been waiting for this feature for very long time. It's imperative necessary to be able to embed audio in posts as we do with video, but with an only audio player. Thanks in advance
So I'm a little confused. I've been using FluentPlayer Pro for several months now in beta. Am I now going to need to buy it?
Jim PattonΒ yes, we have given the beta for all. But if you don't buy, that may not work after a few version or no updates.
Shahjahan JewelΒ ...Can you use it for video backgrounds for sections, like for a hero? I can't seem to find anything in the documentation.
Will you add an option to select YouTube video quality in FluentPlayer?
MarekΒ YouTube video quality is auto by default, and then users can switch between quality if your selected screen supported.
Will I be able to use VK Video?
In the future, Iβd love to see some features that are also missing in the main competitor, e.g., AirPlay, synced meta data with Bunny Stream, GDPR compliant embedding of YouTube clips, captions on YouTube clips, URL timestamps, site wide audio playback (uninterrupted by page navigations), and of course list-based double opt-in for FluentCRM.
Karl Emil NikkaΒ idk about all of those features but it looks like it does support URL timestamps as I noticed when right clicking on their example player on the website that it says βcopy link at current timeβ in the context menu.
Is Fluent Player accessible for keyboard and screen reader users?
Marge PlasmierΒ yes, you can enable accibility menu and keyboard shortcodes.
Shahjahan JewelΒ I just saw the subtitles and language versions. This would be great for videos with descriptive narration for people who are blind. Really incredible app! π€©
Bricks Builder Support ? : )
Will the playlist function allow for html (iframe) posting of videos?Β I'm transitioning videos out of Vimeo, and started using Livid.Β
I'm able to post Livid sourced videos directly in FluentCommunity posts because of the HTML option when posting (which works great, thank you--attached pic).Β But I would like to have a player that has a playlist function that works with Livid.
Here is a tutorial I made. It adds a few videos one can watch through.
Will it be possible to let it autoplay, AND remove all controls, as if it was an "on demand" livestream, where the viewer cant pause the playback..? (also removing the option to click fullscreen)... π
Uffe KirkegaardΒ From what I remember. Yes to autoplay. Yes to remove all controls. Check out the free version to doble check: https://wordpress.org/plugins/fluent-player/
As a user of mux and bunny.net, this will help immensely making it far easier to add videos. Pity the opening party is early, just 2am down here in little New Zealand....π
Kevin TryeΒ There will be a replay video recording you can watch...but that is not the same as a live stream...
Will this improve Vimeo or YouTube Live videos in FluentCommunity? Eg. autostart of lives and a better way of handling lives that has not yet started?
Michael RoedΒ yes, the Youtube and Vimeo API integration will be available later this month.
I have a question regarding video monetization, specifically for large sites or communities with a high volume of videos.
Will the plugin feature a centralized dashboard where I can bulk-upload, manage, and push video ads (or ad overlays) to all videos or specific groups of videos at once?
Manually adding video ads one by one to every single video would be unsustainable for those of us with active communities and hundreds of videos. Can we handle this globally via presets or a central ad management area? Thank you!
Is there any chance of integrating with alugha? Itβs a major privacy-focused video hosting provider based in Germany
I'm having trouble adding chapters with Polish diacritics. When I try, I get an error and the player crashes. Will this be adjusted? Will it be possible to add chapter titles in my language?
