  remotePatterns: [{ hostname: 'img.playbook.com' }],
}

// page.tsx
<Image
  src={asset.permalink}
  width={800}
  height={1067}
  style={{ backgroundColor: asset.average_color }}

Instant video playback, at every resolution

Encoded once, with scrub previews and captions, ready for any player.

review.mp4processing1080p · 0:08 · 1.7 MB

Scrub previews

Slide across a video and its frames follow the cursor, so you can find the moment without pressing play.

Adaptive streaming

One master.m3u8, and the player steps down to 720p or 360p when the connection does.

Plays on any device

One signed stream_url plays in Safari on iPhone, Chrome with hls.js, or VLC, with nothing else to sign.

Scoped access for your app, your agent and your team

Your API key stays on your server. Your app gets a short-lived token for one board, your agent signs in, and your people get links.

Your app

Your server trades its API key for a read-only token to one board. The browser keeps it for up to an hour.

Your agent

Add Playbook's MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor and authorize once. No API key to paste.

Your people

One call returns a board link with a password and an expiry. Anyone with it can view or upload.

Webhooks for every change, storage in your own bucket, and answers to what your security review will ask.
