After the video appears on your page left click twice with your mouse on the large ‘Play’ arrow superimposed over the middle of the video’s opening frame. The word ‘Loading’ will appear and it should start to play soon afterward, usually within a few seconds but this ultimately depends on your connection and how busy the website is. Make sure your PC’s speakers are on and the volume is adjusted. Enjoy the videos and the music.
Controls: You can pause and restart the video using the control keys at far left along the bottom of the video window, you can also adjust the volume with the slider. If you click on the ‘menu’ button at the extreme bottom right the current video’s size will shrink to display a series of ‘thumbnail’ images representing similar videos, most by the same artist a few possibly by related or similar artists. As you move your mouse over these the thumbnail will enlarge and a title/description will appear. Left clicking once on a thumbnail will cause it to load, resize and run.
Caution: While every care has been taken to ensure that the content of these videos is suitable for viewing and related to the Rock n Roll course please note that this may not necessary be true of all other content, ie the ‘similar’ thumbnails. Always check the thumbnail image and description. If you have any doubts then do not click the thumbnail. To exit a video completely at any time just close the page in which the video is playing.
