HTML5 Viewer Boosts Convenience; Goes Universal with New Video Support

Waltham, MA (August 8, 2018) - Snowbound Software, the market leader in document viewing technology, today announced the addition of video support for VirtualViewer® HTML5, making the firm's award-winning viewer a single-source for all document and video viewing needs.

The latest version of VirtualViewer® HTML5 (v4.12) enables users to view video files from their browser without ever having to leave the viewer.

The release leverages the video support of the browser being used to run the viewer, meaning the user will be able to access a variety of video container format types, including mp4, m4v, mkv, webm, and ogv and ogg.

"Our customers have eagerly awaited video support for VirtualViewer and we are very excited to provide it," said Snowbound's CEO Simon Wieczner. "Whether its Office, PDF, TIFF, or now a video format like mp4, VirtualViewer provides a one stop shop for all your file format needs."

When playing the video in VirtualViewer, the user will have access to familiar playback controls:

Expand the video playback from partial to full screen

Pause, resume play, or skip to a specific moment in the video using the seek bar at the bottom of the video

Download the video locally to their computer or desired repository.

"We have customers in the insurance space who handle a variety of file formats, specifically video clips, when reviewing their case files, appraisals, and claims," said Wieczner. "The addition of video support ensures that these knowledge workers never have to leave the viewer when managing their files."
