The on-time annotation will automatically perform an action when a viewer reaches a point in the video without the need for a click from the viewer.

Add an on-time annotation by clicking the stopwatch icon.

Add the event you would like to fire when the viewer reaches that point in the video. Some of the most common events are...

Pause the Video

Insert player.pause() in the JavaScript field.

Play the Video

Insert player.play() in the JavaScript field.

Jump to a Time in the Video

In the "Jump to video time" field, select the chapter you'd like to jump to, or enter a Custom time.

Here are details on advanced uses of the On-Time annotation (like Addon Type and Command.

Note: By design, the on-time annotation does not perform its intended functionality while in edit mode. This is to avoid disrupting the editing flow. To test, click "show" to switch to view mode.
