  • On install of Joost Media Player you can enter your Twitter info and the player will auto-update your Twitter account. This feature can be accessed by clicking on the Twitter icon on the menu bar. Once clicked a new window will launch and you will be able to have a video and Twitter experience at the same time.
  • Joost has an open API which developers can easily utilise to build their own apps.
  • The guide screen allows you to scale the player so as you increase the size so more shows are viewable. This is a major limitation to most sites viewed on the web, which are usually fixed in size and is built to go page to page. On a 30 inch monitor you will be able to view 144 shows at a glance.
  • A major limitation of all video websites is the inherent nature of the web which is to force the user to go page to page. Thus a video stops playing when a user wants to search for content or navigate the site. Joost Media Player has continuous playback of video wherever the user decides to go.
  • Fullscreen option
