About

The History module tracks users' viewing activity and lets them continue watching videos from where they left off.

In Content Hubs, users can access the My History page to view and manage their watch history.

The module also supports Resume Playback, which displays a progress bar on video thumbnails and lets users resume playback from the last point they watched.

Configure the History module

1. In the Configuration Management console, select History from the left panel. You can also go directly to https://{your_site_URL}/admin/config/tab/history.

The History page displays.

2. Configure the following settings:

enabled - Set to Yes to enable the History module. Default: Yes.

resumePlayback - Set to Yes to enable Resume Playback. A progress bar displays on video thumbnails to indicate viewing progress, and users can continue watching from the last point they viewed. Default: Yes.
