Putting the video in a modal window that disappears and resets playtime when you click anywhere has got to be the worst UX decision ever. Can't even resize the tiny little viewport.

What about not letting you make the video fullscreen?

You can watch the video in its own window/tab here: https://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/kf4tdpqvyd https://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/kf4tdpqvyd

    Just "Inspected" the page with Chrome Developer Tools (built into Chrome). If you haven't tried it before, you can do a lot of fun stuff with it, on any site! Like another commenter said, I found that the video is contained in an <iframe> so I grabbed its URL and found it works nicely to watch the video in a separate window or browser tab. :) I searched around to see if the video host ("Wistia") displays videos in some more YouTube-like layout, but it seems not.

I hate this and the trend of videos that stop when you scroll down or change tabs and then restart from the beginning when you go back. What are they even thinking? Fraudulently inflating the view count?
