The playback controls
- Play and pause
- Click the Play button to start the recording. Click it again at any point to pause.
- Rewind and fast forward
- Click the Rewind button to jump back 5 seconds, or the Fast Forward button to skip ahead 5 seconds. Click either button multiple times to move further in that direction.
- Mute and unmute
- Click the Mute button to turn off audio. Click it again to restore sound.
- Playback speed
- Click the Playback speed button on the toolbar — the default is 1x. Select the speed that fits your review:
| Speed | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Less than 1x | Slow down to examine a specific moment in detail |
| 1x | Review at normal speed |
| Greater than 1x | Move quickly through uneventful parts of the session |
- The recording adjusts to the selected speed immediately. You can change it at any point without pausing.
- Captions
- Click the CC button to enable captions. This is useful when you want to follow what a candidate is saying without relying solely on audio, for example when reviewing in a noisy environment or when audio quality is unclear.
- A transcription of the candidate’s speech appears on the player, synchronized with the audio.
- Click CC again to turn captions off.
