Does JW Player Work in China?


What is JW Player?

JW Player is a video hosting, streaming, and monetization platform widely used for HTML5 video playback, ad insertion, and analytics. Originally developed in 2005, it powers online video experiences for media companies, e-learning platforms, and brands looking to deliver high-quality video content across multiple devices.

Is JW Player Available in China?

Yes, while JW Player’s basic video player can be embedded in Chinese websites, its default CDNs, analytics tools, and ad-monetisation features may be impacted by The Great Firewall of China. Video buffering and loading speeds can be significantly slower when relying on non-China-based hosting and content delivery. To legally host and distribute video content in China, businesses must obtain ICP Filing and comply with strict content regulations.
