Adjusting Video Settings:
Click on a video to access its settings page. Here, you can personalize various player settings, set SEO details, and manage sharing options.
Player Settings:
Within player settings, you'll find these choices:
Autoplay: Decide if the video plays automatically when loaded.
Muted: Choose whether the video starts silently.
Loop: Opt to repeat the video playback.
Click to Play: Toggle video play/pause with a click or tap.
Start playing when in view: Triggers play once the video reaches the user viewport (Note: works only with muted videos due to browser limitations).
Play inline: This prevents automatic full-screen play on iOS devices.
Used as a background video: This setting enables extra CSS properties, allowing the video to fit the container fully.
Play from start when fullscreen: When enabled, a video is played from the start whenever fullscreen is triggered.
Controls:
Color: Customize player element colors.
Player background color: Controls the color of the background.
Quality Selection: Enable or disable user video quality selection.
Default Quality: Set the preferred initial video quality.
Source Quality: When selected, the original file you uploaded is streamed directly in the player, unaltered.
Note: Using Source quality means you need to ensure the video format/codec is compatible with your target browsers.
Large Play Button: Show or hide the central play button.
Play/Pause: Display play/pause control in the video's bottom left corner.
Progress: Show the progress bar and scrubber for playback tracking.
Current Time: Display the current playback time.

Settings: Show or hide the settings cog in the video.
Fullscreen: Allow toggling fullscreen mode.
Playback Speed: Control video playback speed.
Deleting Videos:
Beneath the settings sections, there's a red button for video deletion. Be cautious using this option, as it will request confirmation before permanently erasing the video and its data from Vidzflow. Deleted videos cannot be recovered.
Chapters:
The Video Chapters feature enables content creators to define specific sections within their videos by setting timestamp ranges and custom labels. This improves the viewer experience by allowing users to jump directly to relevant sections without manually searching through the entire video.
Create Chapters: For each chapter, define:
Start Time: The timestamp where the chapter begins
End Time: The timestamp where the chapter ends
Label: A descriptive name for the chapter (e.g., "Introduction", "Key Features", "Case Study")
Manage Chapters:
Add New: Create additional chapters by clicking the "Add new" button
Delete: Remove unwanted chapters by clicking the "Delete" button next to the chapter
Update: Save all chapter changes by clicking the "Update chapters" button
Subtitles:
If you notice any spelling or content mistakes in your subtitle file, you can easily edit them using the "Edit" button, which opens a dialog ready for your alterations.
SEO Configuration:
In the right-hand menu, select "SEO" to configure meta information. You can set the meta title, description, and thumbnail for optimal content presentation. The thumbnail setup offers several options, including uploading your own image, selecting a specific video frame, or creating a video loop between two marked points. Video (.mp4) thumbnails are also supported. Similarly, you can set an ending thumbnail that displays when the video reaches its conclusion.
Call to action configuration:
This section allows you to create a customized call-to-action button that appears at your specified timestamp during video playback, encouraging viewers to take desired actions.
Important: While editing, the CTA button remains visible in preview mode for easier customization. You can toggle public visibility using the switch at thetop.
Text: Enter the button text that will be displayed to viewers
URL address: Specify the destination link where viewers will be directed when clicking the button
Show at: Set the exact timestamp (in seconds) when the CTA button should appear during playback
Open in a new tab: Toggle whether the link opens in a new browser tab or the current one
Primary color: Choose the main button color (#4E5FFD is the default blue shown)
Background color: Select the button background color (#FFFFFF is the default white shown)
Form Configuration
This section enables you to create a customized data collection form that can be presented to viewers either before they watch your video or at any point during playback.
Important: All viewer submissions will be automatically forwarded to your registered email address for follow-up.
Title: Set the form heading that appears to viewers (shown as "Placeholder title" in the interface)
Description: Add explanatory text to provide context about the form's purpose (shown as "Placeholder description")
Thank you message: Customize the confirmation message viewers see after form submission (shown as "Placeholder thank you message")

Primary color: Select the main form accent color (#4E5FFD is the default blue shown)

Password protection:
This feature allows you to restrict access to your video content by implementing password security.
Important: When enabled, viewers must enter the correct password before they can watch your video, ensuring your content is only accessible to authorized individuals.
Video password: Enter your desired password in this field (shown as "testing" in the example) that viewers will need to provide to gain access to your video content.
In the right-hand menu, select "Subtitles" to configure video subtitles. We officially support .vtt subtitles. If you have another format, such as .srt, we recommend using this free online conversion tool (), which has worked flawlessly for our needs for quite some time. We also offer a transcription (speech-to-text) service that automatically generates subtitles from your video.
