Help / Getting started on Playback
Getting started on Playback
Watch, comment, and claim your channel — no password, no email.
Watching
Open the app and press play on any of the six demo videos. Everything works without an account: scrubbing, chapters, volume, theater, fullscreen, and keyboard shortcuts. Your watch progress is saved on this browser, so you can leave mid-video and resume where you left off.
Claiming a display name
Playback accounts are a claimed display name against your browser identity — no password, no email. The first time you comment or upload, you'll be asked to pick a name. It shows on your comments and your channel. You can change it any time from the account menu.
Keyboard shortcuts
On the watch page: space/k play-pause, ←/→ jump 5s, j/l jump 10s, ↑/↓ volume, m mute, f fullscreen, t theater, and 0–9 to jump to 0–90% of the video.
Playback is a reference build. Where a feature has a boundary — no transcoding, plays not audited views, owner-side moderation — we document it here rather than implying otherwise.
