Media that does not lose its place.

Persistent playback turned video from an isolated component into an experience that can follow a user through an application.

Navigation should not need to interrupt a task — or the media that supports it.

<VideoPlayer src={videoUrl} />

<DiffViewer before={before} after={after} />

<VirtualList items={items} renderItem={renderItem} />

Playback that survives navigation

PersistentVideoPlayerProvider and PersistentVideoPlayer keep an active video alive across page changes and can collapse it into a docked mini-player.

The catalogue includes close, expand, shrink, and configurable persistence controls so teams can evaluate the behaviour as a real feature.

The same release made Diff Viewer panes and Virtual List regions focusable, supporting reliable keyboard and assistive-technology navigation.
