JW Player

About

JW Player launched the first embeddable web video player in 2004 and has since grown into a video technology and monetization platform serving publishers, streamers, and advertisers. Its platform handles more than 30 billion video plays and ad impressions each month, reaching over one billion unique users globally. The company counts more than 7,000 customers and serves 80% of the top 25 Comscore US publishers, including Accuweather, Axel Springer, and Dotdash Meredith, as well as brand advertisers such as American Express and Citi.

The platform covers video playback, multi-format content delivery, ad targeting, and publisher monetization. Media businesses use it to publish and distribute video across platforms while generating revenue through advertising. Following a merger with Connatix, JW Player now operates as part of a combined corporate entity called JWX.

The company employs around 263 people across offices in New York, London, Plymouth, Eindhoven, Skopje, and Singapore, among other locations. Its distributed, international structure reflects both the global reach of its platform and the breadth of its customer base across digital publishing and advertising.
