Benefits of Open Video UI
Accelerate time-to-market
Save time by starting with the default UI and easily modifying components, rather than building each element from scratch.
Fully customizable
The open-source nature of the UI components allows for 100% customization. You can modify them, use your own components, or contribute changes back to the community.
Cross-platform
Leverage Open Video UI for React Native to cover multiple platforms effortlessly, saving time and effort compared to building UI for each platform individually.
“Before using Dolby OptiView Player (formerly known as THEOplayer), we had a standard-looking UI. Now, we have our own branded UI, making the video player look much nicer. It’s sleek, on-brand with BBC Maestro, and enhances the overall experience. It’s an added benefit that elevates the experience even more. We’re really happy with it.”

More information can be found in GitHub (Web, Android, React Native) and our API documentation.
Yes, it’s possible. If you already have UI components, they can communicate with Open Video UI. However, for a smoother experience, we recommend using only Open Video UI.
