The Video Time Pro plugin extends the core Video Time functionality with additional playback controls, activity navigation, and a comprehensive tracking feature.
As an administrator, you can define default values for Pro-specific features, force values site-wide, mark options as advanced, and choose which player events should be logged. Default settings apply only to newly created activities.
You can find this section under Site administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Video Time > Video Time Pro.
Global defaults help enforce consistency and simplify the setup for course creators.
