Greetings
How can I set the player to a language other than English? Especially the countdown clock.
Thanks in advance

As far as I know, Wowza Video currently offers the embeded player and countdown options in English only.

Thanks for your answer.
It’s a shame it’s not customizable, most of my streams are in French therefore I cannot use it, but it would be a nice feature.

Note that you’re never limited to using the embedded player in Wowza Video/Streaming Cloud. Hosting your own player opens up a broad subset of options and configurations that absolutely support multi-language. You’re probably aware of this. Also, with Wowza having acquired [Flowplayer](https://flowplayer.com/), we anticipate our player offering to do nothing but improve in both the embedded and custom capacity.
As always, thanks for being a Wowza customer.

Yes, the idea with Wowza was to use the automatically created page with the embedded player so I don’t have to handle it myself. I’m looking forward to see how Flowplayer will be included.

@ef3b761be0cc210627bb With Flowplayer added now, it’s still not a feature to change the word “countdown” to French. I have brought this up to our Wowza Video Product owner as a possible feature in the future.
For now, the best option is to use a poster image that shows the event details in French.
