The Kaltura V2 to V7 Preview is a free Chrome extension designed to assist users transitioning from the V2 player to the V7 player. This tool adds a specific query parameter for every call to load the V2 player, enabling a preview mode of the V7 player exclusively for users who have installed the extension. This feature is particularly useful for developers and content managers who wish to test the new player functionalities before a full rollout.

With this extension, users can experience the enhancements and changes in the V7 player while still utilizing the V2 player. It serves as a transitional aid, allowing users to explore the new player features without disrupting the experience for all users. This extension is essential for those preparing for an eventual switch in the Kaltura Management Console (KMC), ensuring a smoother upgrade process.
