  2. The Player Studio page displays.

    The player settings display.

Enable and configure Summary & chapters

  1. Scroll down to the Navigation & discovery section, find Summary & chapters and click the toggle to expand the configuration sections.

  2. Configure the following:
    • Side-panel position - Choose where the panel appears relative to the video screen.  
      • Right (default): Displays the panel on the right side of the video player.
      • Left: Displays the panel on the left side of the video player.

        In our example below, "Left" side panel display has been configured, therefore the panel displays on the left side of the video player.  

    • Expand side-panel - Define how the panel interacts with the video frame when opened.
      • Alongside (default): Opens the panel adjacent to the video and resizes the video playback area to fit both.
      • Over: Overlays the panel directly over the video playback area without altering the video dimensions.
      • Expand on first play: Set whether the panel opens automatically upon initial playback.
        • Check the box to automatically open the Summary & chapters panel when a viewer starts playing the video for the first time. 
        • Leave unchecked (default) if you want the panel to remain collapsed until manually opened by the viewer. 

          In our example below, expansion of side panel "Over" has been configured, therefore the panel overlays the video playback area, and the video dimensions have not been altered.  


  3. Click Save at the top right of the settings page.
