This is a personal project created using React.js to Play local video files on the browser.
You can try it here : https://video-player-for-local-files.vercel.app
→ Modifications to the playing video causes the video to freeze, working on improving the smmothness of the player.
→ Adding more options to add/load video, i.e. to load a single file from local or open a video from a URL, etc. instead of only being able to load a directory.
→ Adding more options to navigate the playlist instead of just next and previous buttons.
→ Adding keyboard bindings and providing a section to show the list of {key ↔ action} pairs.
I have made this project, simply to fullfil my own need, but I have improved the UI and added some functionalities so others can use it as well. I have uploaded the code here so others can also add improvements and/or suggetions.

I was inspired to create this project when during a meeting I was trying to screen share a video in an online meeting but realised that to share it with audio I needed to open it on the browser and share the tab.
