Notes

The beta video player uses a new player URL for both embed iframe and direct play URLs https://player.mediadelivery.net
Your pre-existing player embed iframe and direct play URLs will still work https://iframe.mediadelivery.net
You can still swap your video library back to the current player by disabling the beta video player toggle
