About

Want to engage with your community by commenting on media entries or replying to existing comments? Or maybe you need to delete a comment? Here's a quick guide on how to do it.

Time-based comment

If allowed by your admin, you can add time-based comments.

  1. Pause the video at the desired moment, type your comment, and check the Add comment at [00:00] box.
  2. Alternatively, you can also "timestamp" your comment by inserting [xx:xx] anywhere in the Comments box.

  3. Click Add.
  4. Your comment now displays in the Comments section. If you created a time-based comment, you and other users will see that time as a link that, once clicked, will take them to that specific time in the media.
