We have a video in our slide, but while presenting, there didn’t seem to be a way to restart the video (or pause it for that matter) - while running through the presentation to practice, we discovered that there were a few times when we’d get to that slide and the video would be halfway through already.
Also, why is the Presenter Notes a thin grey bar at the bottom? That took us forever to find. 
. Maybe add “Show Presenter Notes” to the Figma > View menu?
Definitely need to add a feature to “show video controls” in presentation mode.
We had a similar experience where we were showing a video in the deck and the request to “pause” in a certain area to discuss was not possible.
This would be super helpful for sharing motion. Similar to Keynote ideally on hover you could Play, Pause and Control the time line of a video. “Show video controls” would be perfect.
At the moment, the video player lacks essential controls such as a playbar and volume control. These controls are fundamental for enhancing user experience, as they allow for easy navigation through the video and adjusting the audio levels according to personal preference.
Implementing a playbar would enable users to play/pause and seek to specific points in the video seamlessly. Similarly, adding a volume control would provide the flexibility to adjust the sound without needing to rely on external system controls.
I believe that incorporating these features would greatly improve the usability and accessibility of the video player.
Thank you for considering this suggestion. I look forward to any updates on this matter.
I would love a “play” icon or button. In case of multiple videos in a slide.
Video player controls are also essential to our workflow in order to make an adoption case for Figma slides. It’s really the only remaining hold out that I can see as to why we can’t.
I uploaded a video to a slide background and found a few issues. When I play the preview in the right hand UI, I can see the video play. However when I preview the slides or play the presentation, the video does not play.
There is also no controls for audio, so unclear if a video contains audio if it will play automatically or if audio is automatically removed by default. However being able to control which is the still frame, the audio controls, and trimming the video sequence would be preferred.
Hey All, thanks for your feedback!
Today, the Slides team launched the ability to simply click the right arrow to advance slides and PLAY videos! 
This is definitely on the team’s radar for improvements. More video controls coming soon! 
I would love more control over the video component : play/pause icons, to be able to see this is actually a video and not an image. (because the person who made the presentation won’t be necessary the one presenting it.) Plus the possibility to drag through the video timeline + Being able to reset (or not) the state of the video when you leave the slide.
Same. I would like to have the video player controls. I’m placing the tutorial video right in the frames and the person who is watching it in presentation mode doesn’t know where my tutorial begins. Please add them in soon!
When sharing slides on zoom, I need a way to stop the video on speaker notes from playing. The video should play in presenter view, but not on speaker notes.
Otherwise there are 2 videos playing, and an echo
video state would be major bonus as well as start from selection
Are there still no video control options?
Also, is there a way to have a video continue to play while also changing between slides? I have buleltpoints I would like to go through on one side of the slide while a video plays continously on the other.
