This spring, Gumlet brought you advanced capabilities to improve the experience for your viewers and productivity for yourself. Chromecast support, AI background removal, multi-origin image sources, and much more.
Chromecast Support is Here
Who doesn’t love watching videos on a big screen? Whether it’s a 4K monitor, a projector, or your living room TV, larger displays make everything better.
Now, you can cast videos via Chromecast on all Chromium browsers. Already using AirPlay? With Chromecast, we’ve got both major casting options covered.
Improved Image Background Removal
We’ve been doing AI-powered background removal for years, and it’s time for a serious upgrade.
Here’s what we’ve added (and what’s coming soon):
- Intelligent object detection for cleaner cuts
- Optional shadow effects for a natural look
- Prompt-based background replacement (coming soon!)
- Auto background extension to match any aspect ratio (coming soon!)
Migrate from Vimeo in one click
Time is precious - we get it. That’s why we made switching from Vimeo effortless.
Just hit “Import All” to migrate your entire Vimeo account in one click.
No folders or videos to select. Just a quick, clean migration.
Ready to switch? Start your import now ->
Multi-origin support for image source
Changed your S3 configuration? Suddenly, your website’s missing images? We’ve all been there.
With multi-origin support, set up fallback image sources to avoid downtime. If an image fails to load (like a 403 or 404), Gumlet automatically fetches it from your fallback origin - no user notices.
You can even set conditions to handle errors smartly.
Note: Multi-origin support is for enterprise users only.
New Image and Video Tools
Explore a new set of tools for your routine tasks related to media optimization. We launched format conversion, media optimization, and other tools to make your life easier every day. Find your tool here.
More from our team:
The highlighted enhancements make up for the Spring season, but we wanted to help you with productivity. Here you go:
- Live video to archive: Your live streams are automatically archived to use them later, just like a hosted video with a customized player and all other controls
- Change privacy settings in bulk: Change the settings for all videos in a collection using a single click. Navigate to Security Settings on Video Library and update the privacy settings.
- Improved player.js for better control over the player: Want to log custom events for your viewers, or add custom buttons outside the player to control your player? We've got you covered.
We take feature requests seriously, and your feedback helps us discover & innovate faster. Add your thoughts here - https://feedback.gumlet.com/.
