Consume video and audio your way with customizable features
Sometimes you need to get straight to the section of video most relevant to you. Other times, you want an immersive experience. The web player on SharePoint and OneDrive for Business delivers with a host of features that let you customize playback.
Playback speed for Teams meeting recordings
For TMRs saved to OneDrive and SharePoint, you can change the playback speed to 2x, 1.8x, 1.5x, 1.2x, 1x, and 0.8x.
Skip forward or backward by 10 seconds
Missed a beat or want to jump ahead? You can skip forward or backward in your video or audio by 10 seconds.
Popout button
Enjoy a more immersive playback experience by opening an embedded video or audio in a new browser tab with the Popout button. This lets you play in-app video and audio with a full-screen experience.
Transcripts
Find the most relevant content and jump to it quickly with Transcripts. Transcripts are currently available for Teams meeting recordings when Teams Live Transcript is also enabled.
To turn Transcripts on/off, toggle the transcript button in the upper right side of the video.
Closed captions
Make Teams meeting recordings more inclusive for all viewers with closed captions. Closed captions are available for TMRs that had transcription enabled during the meeting. To turn closed captions on/off, toggle the CC button.
You can customize the captions display by clicking Playback settings > Caption/Subtitles settings > Text size, color, etc. Your customizations will last for a browser session.
Disable closed captions
If you have edit permissions to a TMR with captions, you may disable captions for viewers by opening the upper-right information panel in OneDrive: ⓘ > … > Hide captions.
As an owner, you can hide the transcript; however, it'll still be available on Teams unless you delete it from there.
Keyboard shortcuts and accessibility
The following keyboard commands are available during playback.
Important: Most of these shortcuts require keyboard focus on the main player control and will not work when you tab into sub controls such as play/pause.
