Video Resume Watching

Pick up right where you left off

Written by Support
Updated today

Ever started a video but didn’t have time to finish? No worries! With the Resume Watching feature, your site and app remember exactly where you stopped, so you can continue seamlessly.

This works across the whole site and app, as long as the user is logged in.


How it works

  1. When a user is watching a video, the system automatically saves their watch position.

  2. If the user leaves the video, closes the app, or switches devices, their progress is stored.

  3. When they return to the same video, a resume modal appears with two options:

    • Resume – pick up exactly where you left off

    • Play from Start – start fresh from the beginning

For example: If a user watches 15 seconds of a video on the website, then logs into the app and clicks the same video, the resume prompt will appear.


Tip

  • We check your video progress every 5 seconds, so your spot is always up to date. No need to worry about losing your place!


Admin control

  • This feature can be turned on or off from the Subscriptions page, depending on your permissions.


Why use Resume Watching?

  • Enhances the viewer experience by reducing frustration

  • Supports cross-device continuity

  • Makes your platform feel more personalised and user-friendly
