Re: Feedback On New "Deep Link" Feature For Videos

abdylas

Hi,

I think it's a great feature. But it's quite difficult for a common
user to use it. And since it's not mentioned on the video pages no one
will use it at all.

Here is my suggestion how to integrate it on the video pages

I hope it helps.

Regards, Ades
