- entropie 5y agoIts so stupid to hide this and and inhibit people to understand what this is all about.
- mgkimsal 5y agoGiven that the video and product are about an assistive technology, even moreso.
- lifeformed 5y agoIt's infuriating, I can't rewatch a part I missed or skip ahead? And there's no volume control? I can't believe designers still are removing critical functionality to make it "cleaner".
- codetrotter 5y agoYou can double tap the left side of the video to skip back 10 seconds at a time, and double tap the right side to skip forward
- lifeformed 5y agoI can't, it doesn't work on desktop.
- geoduck14 5y agoAnd if you "pinch to zoom", it adds extra content!
- SilasX 5y agoAgreed, and particularly ironic in a video promoting an accessibility product. Like, what?
- syspec 5y agoEveryone knows that when you skin the video element, oops I err mean, craft a custom video player, the first thing you simply must do is hide the default controls. Otherwise how will people know it's a custom video player

- qwertox 5y agoThis should be on top.
- wyager 5y agoOne actually useful function of the macbook touch bar is that it gives you an always-on scrubber.
- argsnd 5y agoSeriously! I didn't realise how much I used this feature because I've found myself missing it on my 2021 MBP multiple times :(
- mgkimsal 5y agoI had a 2016 MBP for a while and never noticed it once. Interesting how we all get set in particular set of usage patterns. I might have liked it more if I'd ever even noticed that. Maybe it wasn't something that was as exposed in 2016?
- exikyut 5y agoRealisation: you could do this with any modern touchpad. Realisation 2: you could trap scroll events and implement the whole thing in-browser. ...hmmmm, interesting...
- joshspankit 5y agoIs that actually true for all videos? Lots of sites that refuse to use standard video embedding, and my intuition says those would block the scrubber.
- autarch 5y agoIt's also on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYqHWDt5wRk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYqHWDt5wRk
- abledon 5y agoying and yang of HN right here in this exchange haha!
- KennyBlanken 5y agoThank you. The lab that developed this set the video to be only viewable when embedded on their site, and my privacy tools mean vimeo thinks the video isn't being loaded via their site. Absolutely baffling that they don't allow it to be viewed directly on vimeo. ...Almost as baffling as a video that is several minutes long and doesn't communicate in the slightest how the thing works.
- pluc 5y ago> Almost as baffling as a video that is several minutes long and doesn't communicate in the slightest how the thing works. This right there. Why is this even here? It feels like I'm A/B testing a launch campaign and I got the version where you need to figure shit out on your own
