I have an important suggestion that will certainly improve the performance of many videos.
Now it is the case that when you click into a video it is paused. Unfortunately, no text hint in the video shows that you have pressed PAUSE. On a cell phone, you might even have clicked on it unintentionally and not so tech-savvy viewers could then simply leave the page. But when you put traffic on VSLs, it's essential that viewers don't leave the page.
Wouldn't it be possible that when someone pauses the video also a message is displayed like the autoplay message where I can enter a text that is shown Loud & in your Face to the viewer. This way unintentional pause clicks are reactivated.
The "Resume Play" function unfortunately only works when someone leaves the page completely and comes back to it and not when someone pauses the video. This would also be a way that you can play the resume play message in pause mode as well.
As a performance video player, this would be another feature that would set you apart from the competition.
