JWP will cease to support and update the AMP solution by January 2024. For more information, please contact your JWP representative. We do not offer a migration option, as the feature is being fully deprecated.


You can embed a JWP web player to a Google AMP page by adding the amp-jwplayer component. When you add a web player to a Google AMP page, you have access to most of the web player functionality.
