Media Chrome is a collection of framework-agnostic web components (custom elements) for building fully customizable audio and video player controls. It separates the player UI from the playback engine, so controls work with native <video>/<audio> elements and many players like YouTube and HLS.js.

Use cases

• build a custom video player UI in plain HTML
• add styled audio player controls to a website
• use the same player controls across React, Vue, Angular, or Svelte
• create accessible media player control bars with play, mute, and fullscreen buttons
• swap video playback engines without rewriting the player UI
• theme video player controls with plain CSS

When to choose

• you want customizable, accessible media player controls without a heavy player framework
• you need controls that work across multiple JavaScript frameworks or with no framework
• you want to keep the UI while swapping playback engines (HLS.js, YouTube, etc.)

When to avoid

• you need a complete out-of-the-box player with skins and plugins like Video.js
• your target browsers lack support for evergreen web components and ES6 modules
• you need DRM or advanced streaming features handled by the UI library itself
