Players, previews and full screen

Choose how video and audio look, preview PDFs on the page, and open anything to the full window.

Player style

Every block that plays video or audio has a Player style setting, so the player can match the page instead of the browser’s default controls:

StyleLooks like
PlatformFull controls in the interface’s own look: play, seek, time, volume, speed, full screen.
MinimalPlay, seek and time only.
CompactA play button and the time; for video a large button over the picture.
Browser’s ownThe controls your browser draws.
The same video in the platform player.
Tip. The keyboard works in the platform player: space or k plays and pauses, the arrows seek and change volume, m mutes, f goes full screen.

PDFs on the page

The Document block can show the PDF itself: tick “Show the document itself”, and the block shows the browser’s viewer, sized to the block or to a height you set. Choose “Only the first page, still” for a picture of the first page with no toolbar and no scrolling; a click opens the full viewer. A Document set can show its files as a grid of such first pages.

A PDF opened right on the entry page.

Full screen

Any file you open in the viewer has a Full screen button next to Download. It takes the viewer to the whole window; Esc steps back, and a second Esc closes the viewer.
