Progress Bar 

Learn how the Progress Bar can provide a better experience to your users

The Progress Bar is anon-intrusive visual indicator that shows playback progress without allowing any user interaction.

It sits on the very top or bottom edge of the player, ensuring captions remain clear and unobstructed.

Restrictions: This feature is available only with the Sleek Theme (Starting at our Pro Plan).

How to Enable and Customize the Progress Bar

  1. Open your video in Vidalytics.

  2. Go to Video Settings → Style.

  3. Switch your video to the Sleek Theme.

  4. Enable Progress Bar.

  5. Configure:

    • Position: Top or Bottom

    • Visibility: Always, With Controls, or Hidden Controls Only

    • Color and Opacity

Save your settings and preview the video.


Benefits 

The Progress Bar keeps your player looking clean and modern while making sure viewers always know where they are in the video — without getting in the way of your content or captions.

Minimal, Clean Progress Indicator

The Progress Bar displays as a thin line at the top or bottom of your player. Unlike the standard seeking bar, it never overlaps your video content or captions, making it ideal for mobile viewers, accessibility-focused designs, or any setup where a minimal UI is a priority.

Fully Customizable 

You have full control over how the Progress Bar looks and behaves:

  • Position — place it at the top or bottom of the player
  • Visibility — choose when it appears:
    • Always visible
    • Only when player controls are visible
    • Only when player controls are hidden
  • Color and opacity — match it to your brand for a seamless, on-brand look

Accurate Playback Sync 

The Progress Bar always reflects the true playback position of your video in real time — including when the Rapid Engage Bar is active, during autoplay countdowns, and after any seek jumps. It updates automatically so your viewers always have an accurate read on where they are in the video.

Notes

  • Progress-only: The bar cannot be clicked, scrubbed, or used for navigation.

  • Requires the updated player version when the Sleek Theme is released.

  • Designed specifically to avoid caption overlap.
