Toggle on/off: Thumbnail Embed
With this off, Blackboard will automatically load a player for each Kaltura video on the page. This makes playback begin more quickly.
With this on, Blackboard only loads a player for the video once the thumbnail is clicked. This is useful if you have a large number of videos in a single page. The page load will be faster but the playback will be slightly slower to begin once the video is clicked.
Start video at: You can set the video to start playback at a point beyond the beginning of the video but it does not prevent the viewer from being able to rewind and watch before that point.
If you check the box to Save these settings as defaults these are the settings the system will use next time you click Embed on the library page.
