How to Set Up a Title Overlay and Context Menu on Your Video Player

This article explains how to configure two branding and information features on your video player:

  • Title Overlay — Displays a title, link, description, and optional icon at the top of the player.
  • Context Menu — Allows you to customize the menu displayed when a viewer right-clicks on the player.

These settings are available under Title Overlay Setup and Context Menu Setup.
