What it does
Long tutorials and recorded presentations often hold a few sections that viewers want to find again. Scrubbing through a timeline to locate them is slow and imprecise. This plugin lets you mark specific start and end points inside a video so each segment becomes its own playlist entry. Viewers pick the part they need, and the player handles the rest, which makes it practical for instructional content, training sessions and any video split into chapters.
The player is built with HTML5, CSS and JavaScript and works with YouTube, Vimeo and self-hosted files. You add videos with a video ID or a file URL. The layout is responsive and runs on iOS and Android devices, and you can switch responsiveness off for sites that are not responsive. The playlist can show thumbnails, titles and descriptions, includes a live search, and lets you adjust sizes and colors to match your site.
Best for
- Online course and tutorial sites
- Teams publishing recorded training sessions
