If the comments are enabled on your video's share link, anyone with access to it can leave comments, whether they have a PlayPlay account or not. Commentators can add timestamps to give contextualized feedback on the video they are reviewing.

 

For example, if your colleague spotted a typo in your video, he can leave a comment at the exact moment he noticed the typo. The timestamp in the comment is a hyperlink, so you can click on it and be automatically redirected to the referred moment in the video. Once you've corrected the typo, you can resolve the comment.

 


 

1. Add a timestamped comment

On the video’s share link, viewers can add a timestamped comment in two ways:

  • Pause the video where they want to comment and click the clock icon 🕓. The timestamp is added automatically, and they can write their comment before clicking Add.

  • Manually type the timestamp in the comment field using one of the supported formats.

Once the comment is posted, the timestamp becomes a hyperlink. Clicking it redirects the viewer to the referenced moment in the video. The project creator is notified each time someone comments.

 

2. Resolve a timestamped comment

The project creator or any member of the team on PlayPlay can resolve or re-open comments using the checkmark button that appears when hovering over a posted comment.

  • Supported timestamp formats:

    • mm:ss - for example, 00:12 to indicate 12 seconds.

    • hh:mm:ss - for example, 01:01:00 to indicate 1 hour and 1 minute.

  • Any other format will not be recognized as a timestamp.
  • Timestamps can be added or removed by editing a comment.
