Player Size

Preload
In case you're loading a on demand video (mp4), it's possible to define the way the video will be preloaded according to preload attribute options. Add preload: <type> on embed parameters. By default, Clappr will try to download only video metadata (preload: 'metadata').

var player = new Clappr.Player({
source: "http://your.video/here.mp4",
gaAccount: 'UA-44332211-1',
gaTracker: 'MyPlayerInstance'

Media Control Auto Hide
If you want to disable media control auto hide, add hideMediaControl: false in your embed parameters.
Watermark
Put watermark: http://url/img.png on your embed parameters to automatically add watermark on your video. Choose corner position by defining position parameter. Positions can be bottom-left, bottom-right, top-left and top-right. Example:

source: "http://your.video/here.mp4",
watermark: "http://url/img.png", position: 'top-right'
