Medium Player
Learn about the Medium Player UI.
The Medium Player is a customizable audio player UI that's great for grabbing listeners' attention.
You can use this UI when embedding your audio manually. WordPress developers can use the beyondwords_js_player_params filter to embed the Medium Player automatically.

The Medium Player supports dark mode and features:
- Customizable background color (this can be transparent)
- Project title — this can be edited in the 'Settings' section of your project (text color is customizable)
- Audio title — this can be edited anytime (text color is customizable)
- Featured image (optional)
- Play/pause button — the icon color is customizable
- Playback progress bar with position and duration times
- Playback speed — the default is 1x, but the listener can change to 0.5x, 1.25x, 1.5x, or 2x
- Hyperlinked BeyondWords credit (on hover only)
Player settings can affect multiple player types (Small, Medium, and/or Large). They also apply to all audios on a project. If you wish to publish certain audios under different settings, you will need to create another project.
