Extension summary

Since Zoom LTI Pro's recording playback is pretty lackluster, this extension tries to add some features to make it easier to use. As of now it:

  • Adds more playback speed options
  • Allows you to toggle play/pause by pressing spacebar/"k", full screen with "f", and mute with "m"
  • Allows you to skip forward/backward 5s with your right/left arrows, or 10s with "l"/"j"

After installing the extension, it will automatically run on any Zoom LTI Pro recording page.

UPDATE 1/5/2022: Since there was an update to the Zoom LTI Pro page the extension stopped working for a bit, but that has been fixed. Zoom also added their own hotkeys for playing/pausing with the space bar as well as forward/backward skipping with the arrow keys so I removed that from the extension, but the f/m/j/k/l hotkeys still work.

Good when it works. Sometimes playback speed options have no effect. Had to remove because it is too inconsistent.

5 stars for additional playback speeds alone :)
