*CogPlayer comes with a light and dark theme, and a colour picker so you can select highlight colours to match your visual identity. Plus, there’s a header strip where you can add your logo (or customised image). And, of course, it’ll be populated with your content so you can fill it with personality.
Questions you might have
Where do I upload my video?
CogPlayer can stream video from most of the major hosts (Vimeo, YouTube, DailyMotion, JW Player, Brightcove and many more). You upload the video, grab the address and paste it into CogPlayer.
Do I need special software?
No. CogPlayer is entirely independent to your own website or content management system. We handle all of that and provide the interface.
Where is it hosted?
We work with a London based hosting partner, EveryCity. They provide the usual 99.9% uptime, they are super-helpful on the rare occasions we have problems or questions, plus they use green energy to power their servers and offices.
What about support?
We provide simple, step by step instructions and the whole set-up is super intuitive. But if you ever have questions or problems you can email us and we’ll email or call you back. Support@CogPlayer.com
Can I use my own web address?
Yes. For a one-off fee we can work with you or your IT team to mask the address and forward it to one you’ve set-up.
What about analytics?
If you need extra analytics or tags to be added, we can do that. Each set-up requires some planning and admin and we charge for that time.
Who are Cog?
Cog is a digital design agency. We work with arts organisations to inspire their audiences. We’ve been around since the birth of the world wide web and we’ve worked with Spektrix since they were a start-up.
Does CogPlayer support other CRMs and ticketing platforms?
Not yet but we’re open to discussions about how it might.
Got other questions?
Send us an email and we’ll get back to you: support@cogplayer.com
