Set skip intro/credits

VOD

1. In the Playback options section find Skip intro/outro and click the toggle to enable the setting.

2. Configure the following:

  • Intro duration - the Intro will start at the beginning of the video and last the duration you set.  
  • Outro duration - the outro will start at the time counting back from the end of the video. For example, if the video is one minute long and you set the Outro duration to 10 seconds, the outro will begin at the 50-second mark in your video.

These default values will be overridden if an entry has an intro and/or outro configured in its metadata.

  • Hide skip control - type the duration of time (in seconds) before the skip control is automatically hidden from view.

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