Work More Efficiently: The New Overlay Player for Quick Previews

Dear Webgate.io Community,

We are excited to introduce a new feature that makes your picture and video reviews with Webgate.io even more intuitive and efficient: the overlay player for galleries and playlists! Similar to the macOS operating system, the file manager of Webgate.io now gives you the option to either use a quick preview with the Space Bar or open the full view with a double-click.

Overlay Player for Playlists
To open the overlay player for a playlist, simply select the desired playlist and press the Space Bar on your keyboard or click the eye icon. The playlist, along with all its clips, will open in the overlay player without reloading the page. You can still use the shortcuts for playlist navigation and enter timecodes. Any existing comments will be displayed in the timeline. Advanced features like commenting or user management remain hidden in the overlay player. To close the overlay, just press the ESC key.

Gallery Preview in the Overlay
You can now also open galleries directly in the overlay. All gallery shortcuts are available to you, and by pressing the Space Bar, the gallery switches to playback mode. Pressing the ESC key will close the gallery again.

File View
Objects such as image files or PDFs that can be opened directly on Webgate.io and are marked with an eye icon can now also be viewed by pressing the Space Bar.

Why is this useful?
The new overlay preview functionality allows you to efficiently navigate through various playlists, galleries, PDFs, and images, making it easier to review your content quickly. This not only saves time but also makes working with Webgate.io more intuitive and seamless.

We are sure that the Overlay Player will be of great help to you in your daily work. As always, we look forward to your feedback.

Best regards,
Your Webgate.io Team
