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 09 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.
