Quick tip
When should I change video quality or playback speed during a lesson?
Lowering video quality can help prevent buffering on slower internet connections, while adjusting playback speed is useful for pausing on complex sections or quickly reviewing familiar content. Using these controls during playback helps keep lessons running smoothly without interrupting student focus.
