Zype has introduced a new web player experience, Zype Player 3, powered by Bitmovin, which brings performance improvements, enhanced ad support, and a more modern, responsive UI. If you’d like to preview how this new player renders with your content before the automatic migration, you can override the default player selection by explicitly specifying the player ID in your embed code.
