When enabled, this feature automatically tracks videos that members have watched for at least 10 seconds but haven't completed.
The section displays the last videos viewed, with a progress bar on thumbnails showing how much of each video has been watched.
ℹ️ INFO: The Continue Watching is a dynamic category in the Catalog and may vary from one member to another when impersonating their accounts.

How Resuming Works
Members can resume a video from where they left off by clicking on it directly from the Continue Watching category in the Catalog.
The saved progress point is not applied outside the Continue Watching category.
To reliably pick up where they left off, members should open the video from the Continue Watching row in the Catalog, or through their Watch History.

📝 NOTE: Resume from timestamp only works when a video is opened from the Continue Watching section. If a member navigates to the same video from the main catalog or another category, playback will start from the beginning.
