A plugin is a piece of 3rd party software that plugs into your browser to give it additional capabilities. Three common plugins are Quicktime (Video Format), Java, and Flash. Without these plugins, you would not be able to view associated content.

Plugins are bits of software written in ActionScript 3 that get loaded into the JW Player via Flash variables in the HTML embed code (flashvars). Basically, they add functionality to the player. Examples are statistics engines, visualizers, active playlists, sharing and networking, video rotators and so on. Browse our Plugins Library to get a better sense of what kind of Plugins are available.
