Brightcove Player Information Modal

View player information

You display the player information by right-clicking on the player and selecting Player Information, as shown in this screenshot.

Once you select Player Information you will see the modal window containing information about the player, as shown in this screenshot.

Close the modal window

You close the modal either pressing the ESC key or by clicking on the close icon at the top-left.

Alter the context menu

You can alter the menu that appears on right-click, called the context menu. To do this you must alter the configuration of your player. You can do this in two ways:

• Using Studio's JSON Editor from the PLAYERS module.
• A tool to perform the configuration change is curl.

The two changes you can make, and how to affect them, are shown here.
