How to add the current play time and length to your video's player control bar

Help viewers understand their progress with the current play time and video length

You can choose the add a timestamp to your player control bar that indicates to viewers their current play time (in minutes:seconds) and the total duration of the video.

Along with the video's progress bar, the current play time is a great way to show viewers how much of your video they've watched during playback.

Use the Video Time toggle in your video's player design settings to add or remove the current play time/duration.

Enable the Video Time setting

1. Select the video from your library that you want to change
2. Select Settings > Player Design
3. Click on Edit
   

   Note: If the Edit button instead says Override that means the video inherits its settings from the folder-level defaults. Selecting Override allows you to exempt the video from the defaults settings and then make unique changes.

4. Open the Design tab, then toggle Video Time to ON/OFF
