Seek Buttons Plugin

Introduction

The Seek Buttons are a feature of Video.js. When enabled, they allow the user to seek forward/back through a video for a configurable amount of time.

Implement using Players module

In Video Cloud Studio, we can configure the player manually to enable this function:

1. Open the PLAYERS module and either create a new player or locate the player to which you wish to add the plugin.
2. Click the link for the player to open the player's properties.

3. Click JSON Editor in the left navigation menu.

   

4. In the JSON Editor object, we can add a property called skip_buttons.

   To configure the player to have forward and backward seek buttons, we can define the skip_buttons property as follows. Your code should look similar to this:

   

   We can also configure the player only to have one seek button by defining the skip_buttons as follows:

   • Only a forward seek button:

     

   • Only a backward seek button:

     

5. Click Save.
