Vertical video player

DIVA's Vertical video player has arrived! Users can now consume short-form social media-style, quick-consumption content, within DIVA. This brings great monetization opportunities and it means no contract revenue-share agreements with social media platforms.

With a specifically designed UX/UI and instinctive navigation patterns, DIVA's vertical video aligns with social media style content, including:

• Gesture controls

• Swipe through video lists of content

• A progress indicator

• In-feed server-side ads

• Sharable content

Video card fallback image customization

DIVA automatically applies fallback imagery when there's no specific image set for Live or VOD assets. It's now possible to upload your own fallback imagery instead of using the default DIVA imagery. This development provides operators with more flexibility and ensures visuals are consistent across all asset cards in a video list, in line with client branding.
