There's very little CSS needed to get this working: /* Progressbar */ Nothing fancy here, just a container that's the whole bar, and a child element (the progress indicator) that will display the progressed time. Creating and styling the progress bar with HTML and CSSįirst, we build a simple HTML structure and style it with CSS. We can divide the development of the progress bar into two parts: visualising the progress in the video and interacting with the bar to jump to a certain time. One of the most common features in a video player is a progress bar, which allows the user to skip to a different part of the video, and gives a visual indication of the progress in the video. If you haven't done so, first read through the tutorial on the basics, since it covers some basic concepts that are important for the tutorials on adding more advanced HTML5 video player custom controls.Ī working example can be found here, the source code can be found here, and the complete tutorial can be found here.
JAVASCRIPT HTML5 VIDEO PLAYER CSS3 SKIN
In this custom skin tutorial, we'll cover some more complicated user interface elements: the progress bar, volume bar and the video quality selector. Although we got a working example, there are still a lot of features missing that every video player should have. In the previous part of the skin tutorial, we covered the initial setup in HTML, CSS and Javascript along with a play/pause button, a mute/unmute button and a simple time display. For those edge cases, this tutorial provides a good starting point to create a custom skin.

However, there are certain scenarios that require a very specific skin design or integrate in very special ways into a website.

The Blue Billywig video player already contains a skin that contains all functionality that you would expect from a HTML5 video player, and can be perfectly tailored to your needs.
