Commenting in the Media Player

Commenting allows users and Content Creators to interact within media, sharing comments and questions.

Reviewing Comments

Comments appear in the Media Player as pushpins, marking the time stamp associated with a particular comment.

1. Play the desired media content.
2. Note the dot or pushpin on the slider bar. This marks the presence of a comment. When you reach the comment, it will appear in the lower right. Mousing over the pushpin on the slider bar will pop up the comment.

Comments may be added to any media in which the Content Creator has allowed user comments.
