Notes about accessing videos have been added to the top of the Upcoming Meetings page (under the Trustees menu item on the Gabriola Volunteer Fire Department website).

The board member in charge of updating the Trustee pages did not set the website up, and is doing their best to make things as functional as possible, but issues remain.

The main problem is in getting browsers to provide an interface that lets the viewer rewind or fast-forward. It's likely that much depends on the operating system and browser you are using and how they work with the website; we tested several options and the only one we could get to work was Firefox on a desktop. It is possible that installing media/video player extensions will accomplish the same thing on other browsers, but we didn't test that.

In Firefox on a desktop, you can open the videos in a "video player window" and access the usual playback tools for fast forwarding/rewinding/etc. The icon for accessing this is a popup that only appears when you move your mouse cursor over the video—click it to open a new window giving you the controls people are generally familiar with.
