Mark as Watched is a feature that helps your members keep track of content they've already accessed without having to replay videos to check. When enabled, watched videos appear with a faded effect and a checkmark, making it easy for members to identify what they've already seen.
ℹ️ INFO: This feature is available across all Uscreen platforms, including web & mobile browsers, and native apps, and is available for all Uscreen plans.
How It Works
Automatic Tracking
Videos are automatically marked as watched when:
A member watches 90% or more of the video
The playback bar reaches the 90% mark, even if parts were skipped
Visual Indicators
When a video is marked as watched:
Its thumbnail appears with a faded overlay effect in the Catalog
A checkmark appears next to the timestamp
💡 TIP: If the video belongs to multiple categories, it will be marked as watched in all of them.
