Video slider

Video sliders are interface elements commonly found on platforms like YouTube, allowing users to jump to specific timestamps and navigate through content.

Here's a few recommendations on how to elevate user experience with video sliders:

  • Add a preview thumbnail: Displaying a thumbnail as users slide across the timeline can provide valuable visual cues.
  • Make the thumb clickable: Ensure the slider thumb is large enough for easy interaction.
  • Prioritize responsiveness: The slider should adjust smoothly to various screen sizes.
  • Offer keyboard shortcuts: For more fine-tuned navigation, shortcuts can add an extra layer of usability.
  • Utilize timestamps: These markers can spotlight key segments of your video, aiding users who want to skip to specific parts or review certain sections.
