6. Your video library **Videos and embed codes** will now reflect the new video player

7. **Update your embed URLs to use the new player endpoint:**\
   player.mediadelivery.net/embed/

8. **Enjoy!**

## API

You can also activate the new player over API on your video library using the following **cURL commands** via the [Update Video Library](/api-reference/core/stream-video-library/update-video-library) endpoint.

```bash theme={null}
curl https://api.bunny.net/videolibrary/<library_id> \
  -X POST \
  -H 'authorization: <token>' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"PlayerVersion": <version>}'
```

| Value | Description                             |
| ----- | --------------------------------------- |
| `2`   | Enable the new video player             |
| `1`   | Disable and revert to the legacy player |

**Note:** Updating the video library via the dashboard or API does not automatically update your existing embed URLs. To use the new player endpoint, update your embed URLs to: player.mediadelivery.net/embed/

## About

The player uses a modern and flexible technology that helps us deliver a better video experience for you. Here’s what that means:

**A custom, modern Interface**

The player offers a clean, intuitive interface that works seamlessly across desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. It’s fully customizable, allowing us to deliver a user experience that matches the quality of our content

**Fast and responsive performance**

The player is optimized for performance. Video controls feel smooth and responsive, and playback starts quickly without delays or glitches.

**A consistent experience across browsers**

No matter what browser you use; whether it’s Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge you’ll get a consistent and reliable experience. The interface and functionality remain the same everywhere

**Designed for accessibility**

The player is built to be inclusive. It supports screen readers, keyboard navigation, and other accessibility features so that everyone can enjoy our content with ease

## Notes

* The new video player uses a new player URL for both Embed URL iframe and Direct Play URLs [https://player.mediadelivery.net](https://player.mediadelivery.net) 
* Your pre-existing player Embed URL iframe and Direct Play URLs will still work [https://iframe.mediadelivery.net](https://iframe.mediadelivery.net)
* You can still swap your video library back to the previous player by enabling the legacy player within player settings
