We use Wistia to host all our videos and provide a great viewing experience for our users.

The Wistia platform offers many useful features out-of-the-box, including the design of the player, video controls, social sharing, timeline actions, and more. If you login to your Wistia account, you'll be able to customize all these features using their friendly admin panel.

However, Wistia also has an API that allows you to add your own customizations. From a developer perspective, I want to show you how to take advantage the Wistia API to adding extra features to their video player.
