Twitch has announced that it intends to replace Adobe’s flash with HTML5, the company has announced that it is starting to roll out its newly designed video player on the web.
The first part of the switch from Flash to HTML 5 will see the controls of the video player switched over to HTML 5 more details below.
Today’s redesign moves half of the video player – specifically the controls – from Flash to HTML5 and Javascript. The video itself is still in Flash underneath the controls. However, this is an important step to releasing the much-anticipated full HTML5 player.
You’ll begin to see the new player on channel pages first. As previously mentioned, this is a gradual roll out. If you are not part of our initial pool of users, please be patient as we release the redesigned player at a steady pace.
